Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Halifax conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:36 AM – 1:15 PM |
| Yamaganda | 4:34 PM – 6:14 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:17 AM – 9:56 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:49 PM – 1:42 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:08 AM – 5:50 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:55 AM – 1:37 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).
