Daily Almanac

Auspicious day

Today is Saturday, in the Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Chaturdashi till evening, then Purnima begins. Chaturdashi is an intense day. Take big decisions with care. The Moon is in Rohini nakshatra till tomorrow early morning, then Mrigashira. Amrit Siddhi Yoga is on today, a rare good time for any new start. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 11:55 to 12:36, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 09:40 to 10:58. The Moon is in Vrishabha rashi and the Sun in Vrishchika.

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.
