2. Auspicious time of May 7:

Wednesday, May 7, is perfect for Griha Pravesh (housewarming) ceremonies. An auspicious muhurta spans from 6:17 PM to 5:35 AM (May 8), making it an ideal time to shift into a new home or begin new household ventures.

Adding more momentum to the day is Mercury’s entry into Aries earlier that morning. Mercury in Aries sharpens decision-making and communication. It’s a fantastic day to start intellectual or entrepreneurial projects.
