Keep a copy alongside the Planetary Charity Calendar 2027.
Quick Muhurat Rules (Plain English)
- Pick the planet’s weekday; if busy, use the nearest matching day.
- Prefer sunrise for Sun/Moon/Jupiter; dusk for Saturn/Rahu/Ketu; morning for Mars/Mercury; evening for Venus.
- Add a small charity (₹11) in the same window to anchor the remedy.
- If you miss the exact hour, do it the same day; intention + consistency beats perfection.
- Skip Rahu Kalam for new starts; use that slot for chanting or reflection only.

FAQs
What if I miss the exact muhurat?
Do it the same weekday. Consistency matters more than the exact minute.
Can I combine planets in one session?
Yes for Sun+Jupiter+Venus (prosperity sets) or Moon+Saturn (calm + discipline). Keep chants sequential, not mixed.
Is Rahu Kalam always avoided?
Avoid starting new actions. You can still chant or reflect quietly during Rahu Kalam.
Do I need a priest or elaborate setup?
No. Clean space, lamp, mantra, and small charity are enough.
Quick Checklist
- Pick weekday + window for your planet.
- Prep lamp, offering, mantra, and ₹11 donation.
- Log action + feeling right after.
- Review monthly key dates and block them in your calendar.
Simple timing plus small, steady actions keeps remedies effective. Choose the best window, keep language clear, and let weekly consistency do the heavy lifting.
