Why Guru and Shukra Asta matter
Guru (Jupiter) and Shukra (Venus) Asta, also called Tara Asta or Tara Doob, are the main periods when no muhurat is given for weddings (vivah), griha pravesh, mundan or upanayana. Muhurats resume once the planet rises again (Uday). Asta depends on where you are, so the dates can differ by a day or two between cities.
