Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Darwin conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:09 PM – 3:39 PM |
| Yamaganda | 6:39 AM – 8:09 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 9:39 AM – 11:09 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:15 PM – 1:03 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:00 AM – 5:47 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:15 AM – 1:02 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).
