A Nakshatra for Opening a Business
An auspicious nakshatra for a new business is the Moon's mansion on the morning you start, and the founder's tenth house is career. Pushya is often chosen. It does not replace the tenth lord.

The Moon's mansion that day
Business muhurta uses the Moon's nakshatra, with tithi and weekday. Pushya, the eighth nakshatra, in sidereal Cancer, Vimshottari lord Saturn, is widely favored for beginnings. Rohini is another frequent choice for stable growth. Neither is a personal guarantee, and a fixed list of seven winners ignores the founder's chart. The tenth house is career. If the tenth lord's period is closed, the nakshatra opens a shop the dasha cannot feed. The eleventh house is gains. A start that never touches the eleventh becomes a hobby with rent.
Mercury and the second house
Trade lives in Mercury and in the second house of wealth and speech: the name, the pitch, the cash. A nakshatra does not repair a combust Mercury. The sixth house is conflict and debt. Many new firms meet the sixth immediately, in loans and rivals. Saturn's style, slow collection, is not failure. Mars's style, a fight with a partner, might be. Read those grahas under Lahiri before you blame the morning.
No calendar is attached
This page does not name today's nakshatra or a year's best dawn. Those are place-specific and go stale. The principle is stable: prefer a nakshatra traditionally used for shubh work, skip the start if your own tenth-lord period cannot carry a company, and do not treat Pushya as a charm against a broken second house. The founder's lagna, the first house of the self, still has to be the person who will do the work.
Frequently asked questions
Which nakshatra is often used to start work?
Pushya is widely favored. It lies in sidereal Cancer and its Vimshottari lord is Saturn. The founder's tenth house still has to agree.
What if the tenth lord's dasha is over?
The nakshatra cannot hire the tenth lord back. Wait for an antardasha that touches the tenth or the eleventh of gains.
Does the page list dates?
No. A start-day nakshatra depends on place and sunrise. The rule is given without a calendar.
