Moonset
Does not set
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 | 12:58 PM – 2:06 PM |
| Yamaganda | 9:31 AM – 10:40 AM |
| Gulika Kaal | 11:49 AM – 12:58 PM |
Disha Shool: North. Travel in that direction is traditionally avoided on a Wednesday.
Auspicious timings
| Muhurat | Time | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Abhijit Muhurta | 10:40 AM – 11:49 AM | The eighth muhurta of the day, centred on solar noon. |
| Brahma Muhurta | 6:20 AM – 7:19 AM | The fourteenth of the night’s fifteen muhurtas, ending before sunrise. |
| Nishita Muhurta | 12:28 AM – 1:27 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).
