Moonrise
Does not rise
Moonset
9:03 AM
The Moon rises roughly 50 minutes later each day, so on about one civil day a month it does not rise (or does not set) between midnight and midnight at all. That is the correct reading for this date, not missing data.

Inauspicious timings
| Period | Time |
|---|---|
| Rahu Kaal | 2:38 PM – 4:10 PM |
| Yamaganda | 6:56 AM – 8:28 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:01 AM – 11:33 AM |
Disha Shool: South. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Thursday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 12:41 PM – 1:30 PM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 5:19 AM – 6:05 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:42 AM – 1:28 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).
