Why this score
16 May 2018 scores 51/100 for Travel — the Panchang reads as mixed for travel. On this Wednesday, the lunar day is Pratipada (Shukla Paksha), the Nakshatra is Krittika, Yoga is Atiganda, and Karana is Bava. Together these elements shape whether tradition would green-light travel right now.
Supporting signals: Favorable day of the week; Supportive lunar phase (Bava). Friction points: Challenging energy period (Atiganda yoga). Rahu Kaal runs 12:00 PM–1:30 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 17 May 2018 (score 78/100, Good). A common pattern: prepare paperwork on a Neutral/Avoid day, then close on a Good or Excellent date.
