Shukla Paksha

Thursday, Shukla Paksha. The tithi is Mohini Ekadashi till afternoon, then Dwadashi begins. Ekadashi is a fasting day for many devotees. The Moon is in Uttara Phalguni nakshatra till night, then Hasta. Abhijit Muhurta (11:50 to 12:44) is good for new work; avoid Rahu Kaal (13:58 to 15:39). The Moon is in Kanya rashi and the Sun in Mesha.

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.
