Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 11:58 AM – 1:09 PM |
| Yamaganda | 8:27 AM – 9:38 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:48 AM – 11:58 AM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Wednesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 9:38 AM – 10:48 AM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:16 AM – 6:14 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 11:30 PM – 12:28 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).
