Muhurta

Vedic electional astrology: choosing a good moment to begin something, rather than reading a moment you were given. The hora, the choghadiya and the avoided kalams are all muhurta tools: a day is not simply good or bad, it has better and worse hours inside it, and the tradition expects you to pick.
