When should I sign a contract or start a new project?

Contract and project timing is one of the most practical applications of the cosmic calendar. Almanac identifies auspicious days for signing documents — "Establish Days" and "Open Days" are ideal; "Break Days" and "Destruction Days" should be avoided. Qimen Dunjia identifies the optimal hour within the day for the signing. Western Astrology avoids Mercury Retrograde (the classic "don't sign contracts" period) and favours Jupiter direct in a strong sign. Jyotish uses Muhurta (auspicious timing) to identify the precise date and time for maximum success.
