Akshaya Tritiya day is the very auspicious day - there's no inauspiciousness to be found today so even checking muhurthas is considered unnecessary, so auspicious it is.

Akshaya tritiya falls on the third lunar day from Amavayasya(new moon) which occurs during the suklapaksha month of Vaishaka.The special fasts and feasts of the vaisaka month begins with Akshaya Tritiya.

The main legend is from Mahabharata. When Pandavas were in exile, Lord Krishna gave Draupadi a bowl called the Akshaya Pathram.

Scientific Approach:

Our Indian traditions formed ages ago and they take in all universal aspects and their impact on us (human beings). Thus born were the formations of almanac after the birth of a boy or a girl.  Sun and moon’s positions are particularly taken into account to calculate the merits or demerits of the almanac. Sun is the life supporter and moon has maximum impact on the blood pressure of a person.
It is a scientifically proved fact that planets and stars have their magnetic effect on the living things on earth. Solar and lunar eclipses have negative effects on earth and its inhabitants. Sun spots cause El nino effect in the oceans and it results in the decreased rainfall in the Indian sub-continent. Moon’s effect on human beings mind is well known since ages.

When these two factors –sun and moon are filled with positive energy, it will have double positive effect on our mind. A person with bright health and mind could take right decision. Thus form the idea of investment in gold, precious jewels and property dealings on this particular day.
Akshaya Thritiya falls on the immediate beginning of the financial year in the month of April. Commercial fraternity would have declared their profits or losses. Firstly, surplus in the form of assets is more durable than in the form of currency. Secondly, there will be an increased flow of wealth in the society if there is an increase in the commercial activity like sales and bargains. Further, nothing impresses a lady than gold and jewelry.  
Thus, all the cosmic and commercial positives might have lead to the undeminishing positive flow of wealth in the society in the name of Akshaya Thritiya .
