Apakirti means "Bad Fame" or notoriety. It is formed if the Sun and Saturn are together in the 10th House (Career) and are looked upon by other auspicious planets. This destroys the person's public image.

Gandmool Nakshatras are the 6 stars ruled by Mercury (Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Revati) and Ketu (Ashwini, Magha, Mula). Being born in these stars is considered sensitive for the child and the family, often requiring a "Gandmool Shanti Puja" on the 27th day after birth.

Avoid the Rahu Kaal period which is from 04:19 PM to 05:37 PM. Do not start new projects or sign documents during this time.
