Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Austin conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 6:03 PM – 7:35 PM |
| Yamaganda | 1:27 PM – 2:59 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 4:31 PM – 6:03 PM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Sunday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:02 PM – 1:51 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:42 AM – 6:28 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:04 AM – 1:50 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).
