According to the Panchang, the inauspicious 'Vishti Karan', also known as Bhadra Kaal, starts at 09:25 AM and lasts throughout the day until 09:01 PM. In Vedic astrology, initiating highly auspicious tasks, inaugurations, or major travel during Bhadra is strictly prohibited as it brings obstacles.

According to the scriptures, a householder should rely on the "3 Brahmastras": 1) Chanting the Gayatri Mantra (the ultimate neutralizer), 2) Chanting the Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (for severe health issues), and 3) Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa (to ward off curses, court cases, and Saturn/Rahu afflictions). Note: Highly advanced Shakta (Tantric) mantras of the Das Mahavidyas should NEVER be chanted without proper initiation (Deeksha) from a Guru.

As Saturday is dedicated to Lord Shani (Saturn), the best remedy is to light a mustard oil lamp under a Peepal tree after sunset. Donating black sesame seeds or black clothes to the needy will also pacify Saturn and bring peace.

Cancer, Leo, and Sagittarius will experience a highly favorable day. Cancer natives will complete tasks with wisdom, Leo will see business profits, and Sagittarius will see improvements in health and professional progress.
