• Padmini Ekadashi: The Ekadashi Tithi is active for the majority of the day, ending at 5:52 PM. Devotees should observe fasting and prayers until the Tithi ends.
• Vishti Karana: The Vishti (considered inauspicious for starting new ventures) is active from 5:13 AM until 5:52 PM. It is advisable to avoid initiating major projects, signing contracts, or traveling for auspicious purposes during this long window.
• Dwipushkar Yoga: Begins at 05:52 PM (when Dwadashi starts) and continues until May 27, 05:49 AM. This is a highly auspicious yoga for charitable acts and spiritual rituals.
• Chandrashtama: Individuals born under Dhanishta (last 2 padams), Shatabhisha, or Purva Bhadrapada (first 3 padams) should exercise caution.

Daily Summary for Los Angeles: Tuesday is a day of spiritual intensity with Ekadashi and Hasta Nakshatra dominating the morning and early afternoon. However, the Vishti Karana creates a long inauspicious block until 5:52 PM. The most favorable time for important tasks is the Amrit Kaal (10:58 AM – 12:41 PM) and Abhijit Muhurat (12:22 PM – 1:18 PM). After 5:52 PM, the energy shifts to Dwipushkar Yoga, making the evening ideal for spiritual practices and charity.
