Why this score
22 May 2026 scores 55/100 for Start Business — the Panchang reads as mixed for starting a business. On this Friday, the lunar day is Shashthi (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Ashlesha, Yoga is Vriddhi, and Karana is Taitila. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light starting a business right now.
Supporting signals: Positive energy alignment (Vriddhi yoga); Favorable day of the week. Friction points: Challenging nakshatra (Ashlesha). 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.
