Tithi · Weekday · Lunar month

    • Krishna Chaturdashi

      Prev day 22:22 Next day 00:04

    Chaturdashi — an intense, transformative day. Best used cautiously for major decisions.

  • Saturday

    Saturday — ruled by Saturn. A disciplined, slow-moving day; good for completing pending work, less so for fresh starts.

  • Magha · Phalguna

Nakshatra · Yoga · Karana

    • Mula

      Prev day 05:47 Same day 08:11

    • Purva Ashadha

      Same day 08:11 Next day 10:13

    Sharp nakshatra — favours decisive action, surgery, and matters needing focused force.

    • Vyaghata

      Prev day 21:05 Same day 21:16

    • Harshana

      Same day 21:16 Next day 21:09

    An inauspicious yoga — sun-moon energies clash today. Traditionally avoided for major new ventures.

    • Vishti

      Prev day 22:22 Same day 11:16

    • Shakuni

      Same day 11:16 Next day 00:04

    Vishti (Bhadra) karana — traditionally avoided for important new work; routine tasks are fine.

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.
