Daily Almanac

Reflective day

Today is Saturday, in the Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Chaturdashi till tomorrow early morning, then Amavasya begins. Chaturdashi is an intense day. Take big decisions with care. The Moon is in Mula nakshatra till morning, then Purva Ashadha. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 12:10 to 12:52, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 09:52 to 11:12. The Moon is in Dhanu rashi and the Sun in Makara.

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.
