The owner of any shop wants his shop to run well. It takes real guts to do business where you are investing everything you have right from physical labour to finances. Business also means risking your network of relations.

When it comes to business not everyone does well. There are many people who due to some reasons shut shop within a few months of inaugurating. Astrologers believe that it happens when a person does not consider an auspicious Muhurat for the opening ceremony of the shop and inaugurate it in at an inauspicious Muhurat.

One must inaugurate a shop only if the Muhurat is auspicious else one must wait for the auspicious Muhurat. Let us understand in detail, auspicious Muhurat for the opening of the shop and how to derive same.

Consideration of Nakshatra and Muhurat for the Opening of Shop

Nakshatra is considered to compute the auspicious Muhurat for the opening ceremony of the shop. All the stable Nakshatras such as Uttrafalguni, Uttrashadha, Uttar Bhadrapad, and Rohini; Saumya Nakshatra such as Mrigshira, Raivti, Chitra and Anuradha; Laghu Nakshatra such as Hast, Ashwani, Pushya and Abhijeet Nakshatra are considered auspicious Nakshatra for the opening of the shop.

Careful selection of Nakshatra will always be good for the running of the business.

Consideration of Ascendant and Muhurat for the Opening of Shop

According to the principles of Astrology, the ascendant of the Muhurat should be strong for the opening ceremony of your shop. If Moon-Venus are located in the Ascendant, it is considered as the best position for planets.

To assess the auspiciousness of the Ascendant, a benefic planet should be located in the second, tenth and eleventh house from the Ascendant and no malefic planet should be placed in the eighth or twelfth house. Malefic planets should be in third, sixth or eleventh houses.Second and eleventh houses should be strong for the financial success of the business. Fixed Lagnas should be preferred like Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius for the stability of the business.
