Muhurta finder.

Muhurta is the branch of Vedic astrology concerned with electing auspicious moments for important activities — weddings, business launches, journeys, ceremonies, contracts. The classical framework reads any candidate moment through the five panchanga elements (tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana) and scores each on its support for the proposed activity. A high-score moment doesn't guarantee success; it removes one structural source of friction by aligning the start of the work with a quality of time the tradition reads as supportive.

Each candidate moment is scored on five panchanga components: tithi (auspicious vs riktha lunar days), vara (the weekday's planetary lord), nakshatra (auspicious / mixed / inauspicious classification), yoga (the 27 named yogas, classifying inauspicious like Vyatipata or Vaidhriti), and karana (Vishti / Bhadra is always avoided). The five components sum to a total score and a label (excellent / good / neutral / challenging / avoid). When you supply latitude and longitude, the engine adds advanced scoring: nakshatra guna (sattva / rajas / tamas), nadi, and planetary-hour ruler alignment with your specific activity.

Different activities want different planetary support. Marriage muhurtas favor Jupiter or Venus hora rulers (the planets of dharma and partnership). Business launches favor Mercury or Jupiter (commerce and good judgment). Travel favors Moon or Mercury. Litigation, by contrast, requires Mars or Saturn — the planets of contention. The advanced score weighs the active planetary hour at the candidate moment against the activity's preferred rulers; a misaligned hora subtracts from the score.

Without coordinates you get the base panchanga scoring — the five-element sum that doesn't depend on location. With coordinates you also get planetary-hour alignment. Planetary hours divide the time between sunrise and sunset (and between sunset and the next sunrise) into twelve hours each, with each hour ruled by a different planet in the classical Chaldean order. The hora ruler at any given moment depends on local sunrise, which depends on latitude and longitude. Supply both for the strongest scoring.

No. The scan is a tool, not a verdict. A serious muhurta election for a wedding or major launch involves conditions that go beyond the panchanga — house placements at the moment, the natal charts of the participants, dasha periods active for them, and the kind of expert judgment that comes from years of practice. Use the scan to identify candidate windows and to learn the framework; consult a practitioner for important elections. The scan handles the panchanga diligence so you can spend the consultation on what only a person can do.
