Sun & Moon
Lunar calendar
Louisville conventionally follows the Purnimanta reckoning, so the month there is Bhadrapada.
Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 12:06 PM – 1:44 PM |
| Yamaganda | 4:59 PM – 6:37 PM |
| Gulika Kaal | 8:51 AM – 10:29 AM |
Disha Shool: West. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Friday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 1:18 PM – 2:10 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:43 AM – 6:26 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 1:23 AM – 2:06 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).
