Why these dates

Dates for opening a shop, office or business. The chara (movable) and kshipra (swift) nakshatras are preferred — the traditional reasoning is that a venture wants momentum, the opposite of the fixed nakshatras you want for a house.

Each date above passed every rule for a new venture in our published rule set — the nakshatram and tithi prevailing at sunrise in Bay Area, the weekday, the Tamil month, and where it applies the planetary combustion (moudhyam) periods and eclipse days. The rahu kalam column is a caution rather than a filter: the date can be good and the hour still needs choosing.
