The first lunar day, beginning of both the bright and dark fortnights. Ruled by Agni — auspicious for initiating action, new ventures, and planting the seed of intention.
Ruled by Mercury and governed by Indra, king of the gods. The eldest among stars, bestowing authority, the protection of those who depend on you, and the weight of seniority.
The yoga of the thorn — associated with friction and sharp edges. Not favoured for new ventures; good for tasks that require precision, critique, or removing what is harmful.
The fixed karana that precedes the new moon cycle. Associated with completion and the closing of old accounts — favours endings, releases, and preparation for renewal.
Wednesday — the day of Mercury (Budha). Favours learning, writing, trade, communication, mathematics, and any activity requiring analytical precision and verbal skill.
