Spiritual Significance:

Today, the Moon transits through Sagittarius under the influence of Purva Ashadha Nakshatra, whose ruling deity is Varuna and planet is Venus. This nakshatra signifies "pre-victory" — a time ideal for making important preparations and laying foundations for future success.

Devotees are encouraged to worship Goddess Lakshmi, as it is believed that prayers offered under this nakshatra bring financial well-being and spiritual grace.

Also, refrain from planning during Gulika, Durmuhurta, and Varjyam periods, which are traditionally considered inauspicious.
