Why this score
18 May 2108 scores 39/100 for Open Shop — the Panchang reads as unfavourable for opening a shop. On this Friday, the lunar day is Ashtami (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Ashlesha, Yoga is Dhruva, and Karana is Vishti. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light opening a shop right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable day of the week; Waxing moon period (Shukla Paksha). Friction points: Challenging nakshatra (Ashlesha); Challenging lunar phase (Vishti). Rahu Kaal runs 10:30 AM–12:00 PM; most families avoid signing or finalising during that window. Abhijit Muhurat (11:36 AM–12:24 PM) is the most commonly used “safe” slot if you must proceed today.
If you can wait, the next stronger window is 20 May 2108 (score 81/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
