Times to avoid
Rahu Kalam?About 90 minutes each day when people avoid starting anything new — signing, buying, setting out. Work already in progress is fine. | 9:27 AM – 10:50 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 1:36 PM – 2:59 PM |
Gulikai Kalam?Whatever you do in Gulikai is said to repeat. Skipped for things you never want again (loans, funerals); some use it for things they do. | 6:41 AM – 8:04 AM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:51 AM – 12:35 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:58 AM – 5:49 AM |
Nalla Neram?The Tamil way to pick a good time: day and night are each cut into 8 slots, and every slot has a name that says whether it’s good or not. | 8:04 AM – 9:27 AM Uthi10:50 AM – 12:13 PM Amirdha1:36 PM – 2:59 PM Laabam2:59 PM – 4:22 PM Dhanam4:22 PM – 5:45 PM SugamGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Saturday |
|---|---|
Tithi?The lunar day. Each time the Moon pulls 12° further from the Sun a new tithi begins — 30 in a lunar month, so it can change at any hour. | Krishna Dasami until 10:29 AM then Krishna Ekadasi |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Rohini until 1:21 PM then Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Vyaghata until 2:08 AM (9 Aug) then Harshana |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Vishti (Bhadra) until 10:29 AM then Bava until 9:04 PM then Balava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Rishabha (Taurus) until 12:19 AM (9 Aug) then Mithuna (Gemini) |
| Sun sign | Kataka (Cancer) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Ashadha, Krishna Paksha |
Chandrashtama for?If this is your moon sign, the Moon is in your 8th house — tradition says keep it low-key and put off big decisions. | Thula (Libra) until 12:19 AM (9 Aug) then Vrischika (Scorpio) |

About today’s panchangam for Centurion
In Centurion on Saturday, 8 August 2026, the sun rises at 6:41 AM and sets at 5:45 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 9:27 AM – 10:50 AM, Yamagandam 1:36 PM – 2:59 PM and Gulikai Kalam 6:41 AM – 8:04 AM. These periods, like the good-time slots, are found by dividing the time between local sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts — which is why they shift from city to city and day to day, and why a fixed “7:30 to 9:00” chart is only an approximation.
The day begins at sunrise with Krishna Dasami tithi and Rohini nakshatra. The Tamil date is Aadi 23, Parabhava year.
