Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Helsinki conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Sravana.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 1:24 PM – 3:22 PM |
| Yamaganda | 7:32 AM – 9:29 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 11:27 AM – 1:24 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Wednesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 9:29 AM – 11:27 AM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 4:22 AM – 4:54 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:10 AM – 1:42 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).
