Krishna Paksha

Thursday, Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Pratipada till early morning the next day, then Dvitiya begins. Pratipada is a good day for new beginnings. The Moon is in Ardra nakshatra till early morning the next day, then Punarvasu. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is formed on this day, an auspicious time for new work. Abhijit Muhurta (11:59 to 12:41) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (13:38 to 14:55). The Moon is in Mithuna rashi and the Sun in Dhanu.

Day at a glance

A timing system used mainly in Gujarat, Rajasthan and North India: 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 to pick auspicious slots for everyday work.

A short-list of the seven most important windows: three auspicious (Brahma, Abhijit, Amrit) and four to avoid (Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Varjyam). 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, so pick an hour whose ruler suits the task.
