Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Anchorage conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 12:20 PM – 1:53 PM |
| Yamaganda | 4:59 PM – 6:31 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:14 AM – 10:47 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:28 PM – 2:18 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:04 AM – 6:49 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:31 AM – 2:17 AM (next day) | Vedic midnight — the middle of the night, which is not clock midnight. |
Amrit Kaal is not published. It needs the per-nakshatra amrit ghati table, which is a sourced traditional table rather than a derivation — an unverified version would put wrong muhurat timings on an indexed page (plan 6.4).
