Auspicious day

Today is Thursday, in the Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Dvitiya till tomorrow early morning, then Tritiya begins. Dvitiya is a steady day, good for working with others. The Moon is in Ashwini nakshatra till evening, then Bharani. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is on today, a rare good time for any new start. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 11:58 to 12:48, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 13:58 to 15:33. The Moon is in Mesha rashi and the Sun in Meena.

Day at a glance

A North Indian timing system: eight day windows and eight night windows, each rated good, neutral, or bad. A quick way to pick (or avoid) a slot for an everyday task.

A South Indian tradition that splits the day and night into eight Gowri windows each — used for picking auspicious slots for everyday work.

A short-list of the six most important windows — three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and three to avoid (Rahu, Yamaganda, Gulika). Some days may show fewer if a window isn't computed.

Each day and night splits into twelve planetary hours, each ruled by a planet. The ruling planet sets the hour's tone — pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
