Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion):

Rahu Kalam (1:14 PM to 2:25 PM):
This period should be taken with a pinch of salt. Do not start any new ventures or make important decisions during this time because Rahu may cause confusion or a slowdown. It is a good time for regular activities that do not depend on chance or a positive result.
Recommendations for the Day
The day’s planetary positions suggest that one must be both assertive and wait for something. The Aries morning energy makes you want to go straight to the tasks, while the Taurus afternoon energy makes you want to go step by step. For those with something important to say and are hesitant, the first half of the day is the best time to speak out.
Shukla Ekadashi is a message to think about one’s progress. It may be useful to schedule some time for prayer or meditation or for turning off the radio or the television. Writing down thoughts or even taking a few minutes to practice deep breathing can also direct the change-making power of the day. As per Krittika Nakshatra, let the spirit of Krittika Nakshatra help you to clean your mind and environment.
Spiritual Significance of the Day
Ekadashi is a popular fast and is considered to be a day of purification of the mind and soul and a day of rebirth in a cosmic sense. It can be a good idea to stay alert and aware on this day as this ‘clears’ emotions and mental confusion. As Krittika Nakshatra helps gain decisiveness, today is a good day to accept change and start new ventures that will help the person’s overall growth and spiritual growth.
