• Ashlesha Nakshatra:
  Known for transformative energy but also caution; auspicious for spiritual activities, mantra chanting, and resolving complex problems.
• Vishti (Bhadra) Karana:
  An inauspicious karana; major auspicious activities like weddings, housewarmings, and business starts are generally avoided during Vishti.
• Yoga Considerations:
  Vidaal Yoga may bring obstacles, so new important tasks should be avoided. Jwalamukhi Yoga supports transformation and spiritual fire, making it suitable for spiritual practices.

Summary Table

October 16, 2025, is a significant day with a transition from Krishna Dashami to Ekadashi, making it important for fasting and spiritual observances. Due to Vishti (Bhadra) Karana and Vidaal Yoga, the day calls for caution in initiating new ventures but supports spiritual and transformative activities aligned with Ashlesha Nakshatra and Jwalamukhi Yoga.
