Quarterly Planning Suggestions
- Q1 (Jan–Mar): Focus on study, skill upgrades, and inner purification. Avoid launching major ventures during Holashtak (mid-March).
- Q2 (Apr–Jun): Prosperity rituals (Akshaya Tritiya) and Navratri detox align with Jupiter’s transition into Cancer—great for family investments.
- Q3 (Jul–Sep): Emphasize guru devotion, sibling harmony, and Krishna bhakti. Manage travel during monsoons and eclipse corridors.
- Q4 (Oct–Dec): Peak festive planning—Navratri, Dussehra, Diwali. Reserve pandits early, schedule charity drives, and finalize financial year strategies.

FAQ
Can I still do small rituals during eclipses?
Keep them minimal—focus on mantras and meditation. Major beginnings and travel are better outside eclipse windows.
How do I adjust muhurats outside IST?
Use a trusted Panchang app with your latitude/longitude to recalculate Pradosh and Aparahna periods locally.
What if my personal dasha is challenging during a festival?
Add extra remedies: fasting, charity, and planet-specific mantras; consider a brief consultation to time key steps within the day’s muhurat.
Which festivals are best for starting businesses in 2027?
Akshaya Tritiya (6 May) and Dussehra (17 Oct) are prime; avoid Holashtak and eclipse days for launches.
How early should I book priests or venues?
Secure high-demand dates (Diwali, Navratri, weddings) at least 3–6 months ahead, especially once Jupiter enters Cancer.
