These days are good for everyone in the city. Your personal muhurta also weighs your birth nakshatra and Moon sign (Tarabala and Chandrabala), your running dasha and your Ashtakavarga, and picks your 10 best dates with a clean window on each.

How a muhurat for starting studies (vidyarambha) is chosen
Starting school, a course or exam preparation (vidyarambha) is timed by Mercury and Jupiter, the planets of learning, both visible, with the Moon in a nakshatra that suits study.
Mercury governs learning and Jupiter wisdom; a day with either combust is passed over.
The days on this page are read from the panchang for Chennai by an astronomy engine (Swiss Ephemeris, Lahiri ayanamsa): the same for everyone in the city. A muhurta for one person also weighs their own chart: their Tarabala and Chandrabala on the day, their running dasha and their Ashtakavarga. Two people in the same city can have different best days.

What rules are used?
Nakshatras: Ashwini, Punarvasu, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Anuradha, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha and Revati. Good weekdays: Sunday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; avoided: Tuesday and Saturday. A clean window: Amrit, Shubh or Labh choghadiya, clear of Rahu kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika kaal, Rikta tithis (4th, 9th, 14th) and Amavasya, Bhadra (Vishti karana), and Vyatipata and Vaidhriti yoga, at least 24 minutes long. Not while Mercury and Jupiter are combust (asta).
Is a general muhurat the same as my personal muhurat?
No. A general muhurat is the same for everyone in the city. Your personal dates also weigh your own birth nakshatra and Moon sign (Tarabala and Chandrabala), your dasha and your Ashtakavarga, so some generally good days are weaker for you and others stronger.
Does a good muhurat guarantee a good result?
No. A muhurat is a tradition for choosing a favourable start; it does not decide the outcome. Make the decision itself on its merits and with proper advice.
