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. | 7:01 AM – 8:38 AM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 10:15 AM – 11:53 AM |
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. | 1:30 PM – 3:07 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:27 AM – 12:18 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 3:55 AM – 4:39 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. | 5:23 AM – 7:01 AM Amirdha10:15 AM – 11:53 AM Laabam11:53 AM – 1:30 PM Dhanam1:30 PM – 3:07 PM Sugam4:44 PM – 6:22 PM UthiGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Monday |
|---|---|
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. | Pournami until 6:11 AM then Krishna Prathama until 3:31 AM (27 Oct) then Krishna Dwitiya |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Ashwini (Aswini) until 2:11 PM then Bharani |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Vajra until 10:46 AM then Siddhi |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Bava until 6:11 AM then Balava until 4:54 PM then Kaulava until 3:31 AM (27 Oct) then Taitila |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Mesha (Aries) all day |
| Sun sign | Thula (Libra) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Ashwin, Shukla 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. | Kanya (Virgo) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Soweto
In Soweto on Monday, 26 October 2026, the sun rises at 5:23 AM and sets at 6:22 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 7:01 AM – 8:38 AM, Yamagandam 10:15 AM – 11:53 AM and Gulikai Kalam 1:30 PM – 3:07 PM. 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 Pournami tithi and Ashwini (Aswini) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Aippasi 10, Parabhava year.
