The classical rule for a new work: avoid Rahu Kaal, prefer Abhijit, and check that the day's tithi is one of the favourable ones (Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Panchami, Shashthi, Dashami, Ekadashi). For a fast: Ekadashi of either paksha is the universal; specific Ekadashis (Mokshada, Nirjala) are stricter. Consult a local Jyotish pandit for major life events.
