Nakshatras for Starting a Business
A business opening is timed by the Moon's nakshatra, and Pushya, the eighth nakshatra, is ruled by Saturn in the Vimshottari order. No panel of seven nakshatras guarantees a shop.

The Moon's mansion that morning
Muhurta for a start looks at the Moon's nakshatra, along with tithi, yoga, karana, and weekday. Pushya is widely favored for beginnings. It lies entirely in sidereal Cancer, and its Vimshottari lord is Saturn. Rohini and Hasta are also used often for stable work, Rohini under the Moon and Hasta under the Moon as well. Naming exactly seven winners, in a fixed order, for every founder, pretends the founder's chart does not exist. The tenth house is career. A beautiful nakshatra on a weak tenth lord still opens a weak shop.
The founder's tenth house
The tenth house is career. Its lord's Vimshottari period is a better clue that this year can hold a company than any universal nakshatra ranking. The eleventh house is gains. A start that ignores the eleventh may be famous and unpaid. The second house is wealth and speech, useful for the name and the cash box. Mercury has a say in trade. None of these are replaced by waking up under a lucky star. Lahiri sidereal nakshatras are the ones to use. A tropical Moon is often in the previous mansion.
No date is printed here
This page does not list today's nakshatra or a year's best mornings. Those are calendar facts for a place and a sunrise, and they go stale. The principle stays: choose a Moon nakshatra traditionally used for shubh work, avoid a badly damaged tithi if the muhurta guide you trust says so, and only do it when the founder's tenth-lord period can carry the result. Jyotish does not owe anyone seven magic mansions.
Frequently asked questions
Which nakshatra is classically favored for beginnings?
Pushya is widely used. It is the eighth nakshatra, in sidereal Cancer, and its Vimshottari lord is Saturn. It is not a guarantee.
Does the nakshatra replace the birth chart?
No. The founder's tenth house is career. The eleventh is gains. A good morning cannot supply a tenth lord.
Why are no dates listed?
A muhurta depends on place and sunrise and changes. This page keeps the rule and does not invent a lucky morning.
