The day is marked for worship of Mother ChandraGhanta, the second form of the Goddess Durga. Devotees are advised that prayers to this deity will be exceptionally beneficial.

Preeti Yoga remains active until 8:23 pm. This yoga, under the patronage of Vishnu, represents love, affection and harmonious relationships when the Sun‑Moon angular distance lies within 13°20′ – 26°40′.
The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time of the day, runs from 11:49 am to 12:36 pm. It lasts about 48 minutes and is believed to erase negative influences when the Sun is at its highest point.

Gulika Kaal, labelled as a poisonous interval, lasts from 12:13 pm to 1:39 pm. While new initiatives should be deferred, routine actions like bank deposits, charitable contributions or investments are permissible.
Yamaganda governs the period from 9:19 am to 10:46 am, linked with the deity of death. It is advisable not to commence new projects, journeys or monetary transactions during this time.
The Sun will be placed in Virgo, encouraging practical, organized effort, and the Moon will stay in Libra, fostering balanced, diplomatic emotions.
Directionally, the day is ruled by the north (Uttar), which according to Vastu and astrological tradition is an inauspicious direction for travel.
