Reflective day

Today is Saturday, in the Krishna Paksha. The tithi is Dashami till tomorrow early morning, then Saphala Ekadashi begins. Dashami is a stable day, auspicious for most work. The Moon is in Swati nakshatra till night, then Vishakha. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga is on today, a rare good time for any new start. Start new work in Abhijit Muhurta, 12:05 to 12:47, and avoid it in Rahu Kaal, 09:50 to 11:08. The Moon is in Tula rashi and the Sun in Dhanu.

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.
