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.

10:31 AM – 12:14 PM
Yamagandam

Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait.

3:39 PM – 5:22 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.

7:06 AM – 8:49 AM

Auspicious times

Abhijit Muhurtham

The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays.

11:47 AM – 12:41 PM
Brahma Muhurtham

The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga.

4:01 AM – 4:42 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.

Five limbs of the day

DayFriday
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.

Shukla Dasami until 5:00 PM
then Shukla Ekadasi
Nakshatra

The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star.

Bharani until 12:21 AM (8 Jan)
then Krittika (Karthigai)
Yoga

One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day.

Siddha until 8:18 AM
then Sadhya
Karana

Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid.

Gara until 5:00 PM
then Vanija until 4:39 AM (8 Jan)
then Vishti (Bhadra)
Moon sign (Rasi)

The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days.

Mesha (Aries) all day
Sun signDhanus (Sagittarius)
Lunar month (amanta)Pausha, Shukla Paksha

If this is your moon sign, the Moon is in your 8th house — tradition says keep it low-key and put off big decisions.

Kanya (Virgo) all day

About today’s panchangam for Randburg

In Randburg on Friday, 7 January 2028, the sun rises at 5:23 AM and sets at 7:05 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 10:31 AM – 12:14 PM, Yamagandam 3:39 PM – 5:22 PM and Gulikai Kalam 7:06 AM – 8:49 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 Shukla Dasami tithi and Bharani nakshatra. The Tamil date is Margazhi 23, Plavanga year.
