In short: The Moon is in Leo all day (sidereal). The tithi is Krishna Ashtami, changing to Navami at 23:14 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Purva Phalguni, whose deity is Bhaga, god of fortune and enjoyment; it is a fierce (ugra) nakshatra, traditionally kept for demanding or decisive work rather than delicate beginnings. In Leo the Moon travels with Mars, Jupiter and Ketu. Vaidhriti and Vishkambha are among the yogas that muhurta texts set aside for new ventures; ordinary work goes on as usual.
