good post Sharmila.
Also avoid 7th star(constellation) day , counted from your birthstar to start any auspicious work, business, financial transaction, registrations, buying / selling vehicles or houses, travel etc

ex : if your birth star is aswini, then avoid punarvasu, visakha, poorvabhadra.
out of above 3, when moon transits visakha, it\'ll be your worst day of that month.

this rule can be simplified as

if your birth star is ruled by sun, then avoid all days with stars rules by mercury

moon - avoid ketu
mars - avoid venus
mercury - avoid rahu
jupiter - avoid moon
venus - saturn
saturn - mars
rahu - sun
ketu - jupiter

amavasya(new moon day) useful for tantric, mantra, yoga purposes

But I learnt somewhere that Amavasya is very good day to remember of ancestors and pray for them. Please confirm.
