Which Omens Are Considered Auspicious — What the Texts and Tradition Say
Per Prashna Marga, a conch or Vedic chant, curd, rice, durva grass, a full pot, a young girl, a lamp, lotus, cow with calf, mirror and gold are good signs.
Muhurta Chintamani also lists a full pot, cow, curd, flowers and flags as lucky for travel.
When a good sign appears, it is a fine moment to begin important work.
Brihat Samhita's general rule reverses omens for women; no separate rule is given for this one.
