Consideration of nakshatra
According to astrology nakshatra placement is the most important factor in muhurat.
The stable nakshatras like Uttraphalguni, Uttrasadha, Uttravadrapada, Rohini, benefic
nakshatras like Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha , Revati and mild nakshatras like Hasta,
Ashwini, Pushya and Abhijit nakshatras are very auspicious for opening a new shop.
Consideration of Ascendant
A strong Ascendant in the muhurat is required at the time of opening of a shop. The
Ascendants of Moon and Venus are considered excellent in this respect. For
determining the purity of the Ascendant there should be a benefic planet on the 2nd,
10th or 11th house and the 8th or 12th houses should not have any a malefic planet.
Astrological restrictions
Astrology says that there are some inauspicious combinations during which shop
opening should be cancelled. If the Moon transits on the 4th, 8th or 12th house from
its birth sign, the 3rd, 5th or 7th house has a tara and if the day is afflicted by Bhadra
dosha then a shop should not be opened.
