yes bro, you can fast tomorrow thats ashura officially

So long as you aren't on your period

absolutely akhi, our Prophet advised us to be different from yahuud by either fasting one day before(today) or one day after ashuura (wedenesday) so its 100% part of the sunnah to fast that day. I can bring u daleel if you like.

The strongest of these reasons is being different from the People of the Book. Shaykh ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

"The Prophet, peace be upon him, forbade imitating the People of the Book in many ahadith, for example, his words concerning 'Ashura:

'If I live until the next year, I will certainly fast on the ninth day.' " [Al-Fatawa al-Kubra]

Ibn Hajar, may Allah be pleased with him, said in his commentary on this hadith:

"What he meant by fasting on the ninth day was probably not that he would limit himself to that day, but would add it to the tenth, either to be on the safe side or to be different from the Jews and Christians, which is more likely. This is also what we can understand from some of the reports narrated by Muslim." [Fath, 4/245]
