Indian astrology gives it little weight because India runs by tithi, not by date; if dates mattered, tides, amavasya, purnima and eclipses would fall on fixed dates. Doors by mulank follow the planet of each number (1 Sun East, 2 Moon North-West, 3 Jupiter North-East, 4 Rahu and 7 Ketu South-West, 5 Mercury North, 6 Venus South-East, 8 Saturn West, 9 Mars South), but the rashi and the birth chart should decide.

Applying this friend-enemy logic of the planets to every activity lets you derive remedies yourself.
