Daily Almanac

Reflective day

Today is Thursday, in the Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Navami till evening, then Dashami begins. Navami is sacred to Durga, better for prayer than for new beginnings. The Moon is in Rohini nakshatra till morning, then Mrigashira. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 11:57 to 12:48, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 13:59 to 15:36. The Moon is in Vrishabha rashi and the Sun in Simha.

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.
