📈 When should I ask my boss for a promotion or raise?
प्रमोशन या वेतन वृद्धि माँगने का शुभ दिन • computed from live planetary positions
Ask for a promotion or raise on a Thursday (Jupiter — the karaka of favour from seniors) or Friday, when the Moon transits your 10th or 11th house (career and gains), on a Sampat or Mitra tara day. Never ask during your Chandrashtama or on a Tuesday or Saturday.

How this muhurta is determined
This is a petition to authority, and Jupiter governs how authority receives you. Thursday carries his weight; Friday adds Venus's pleasantness. The 10th-house Moon (from your rashi) puts your work in the light; the 11th-house Moon inclines outcomes toward gain.
Avoid the obvious traps: Tuesday sharpens egos on both sides, Saturday invites "let's revisit this later", and Rahu Kaal scatters even a well-made case. Amavasya and Rikta tithis undercut the asking.
Tarabal is the fine filter here — Sampat tara (2nd) is literally the tara of wealth and gain. If your birth nakshatra is known, prefer a Sampat or Param Mitra day within the window your appraisal allows.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a best time of day to ask for a raise?
Late morning, inside a Shubh or Labh Choghadiya and after the day's first pressures have passed — and always outside Rahu Kaal. Abhijit muhurta around midday is a dependable window.
Does my boss's rashi matter too?
Classically the petitioner's chart dominates, but if you happen to know their rashi, avoid THEIR Chandrashtama as well — a request landing on someone's worst Moon day rarely gets its fair hearing.
