Why this score
17 May 2016 scores 50/100 for Travel — the Panchang reads as mixed for travel. On this Tuesday, the lunar day is Ekadashi (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Uttara Phalguni, Yoga is Vajra, and Karana is Vishti. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light travel right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable lunar day (Ekadashi). Friction points: Challenging energy period (Vajra yoga); Less favorable day of the week. Rahu Kaal runs 3:00 PM–4:30 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 18 May 2016 (score 82/100, Excellent). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
