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. | 3:25 PM – 5:07 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 8:33 AM – 10:16 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. | 11:59 AM – 1:42 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:32 AM – 12:26 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 3:45 AM – 4:26 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. | 6:50 AM – 8:33 AM Laabam8:33 AM – 10:16 AM Dhanam10:16 AM – 11:59 AM Sugam1:42 PM – 3:25 PM Uthi5:07 PM – 6:50 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day

Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Anuradha (Anusham) until 2:46 PM then Jyeshtha (Kettai) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Dhriti all day |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Chatushpada until 1:45 PM then Naga until 2:51 AM (9 Dec) then Kimstughna |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Vrischika (Scorpio) all day |
| Sun sign | Vrischika (Scorpio) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Kartika, 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. | Mesha (Aries) all day |

About today’s panchangam for Thembisa
In Thembisa on Tuesday, 8 December 2026, the sun rises at 5:08 AM and sets at 6:50 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 3:25 PM – 5:07 PM, Yamagandam 8:33 AM – 10:16 AM and Gulikai Kalam 11:59 AM – 1:42 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 Amavasya tithi and Anuradha (Anusham) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Karthigai 23, Parabhava year.
