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. | 2:50 PM – 4:20 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 8:46 AM – 10:17 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. | 11:48 AM – 1:19 PM |
Sunrise / Sunset
| Sunrise | 5:45 AM |
|---|---|
| Sunset | 5:51 PM |
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:24 AM – 12:12 PM |

How Rahu Kalam is calculated for Sydney
The time between sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one part — fixed by the weekday — is Rahu Kalam: the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday. With today’s day length in Sydney, each part lasts about 91 minutes. The familiar “Monday 7:30–9:00” chart assumes a 6:00 AM sunrise and a 12-hour day, so it can be off by half an hour or more depending on the season and how far east or west you are.
By tradition, new ventures, journeys, purchases and auspicious ceremonies are not started during Rahu Kalam; work already under way simply continues. Yamagandam and Gulikai Kalam are computed the same way from different parts of the day.
