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. | 2:57 PM – 4:22 PM |
|---|---|
Yamagandam?Another avoid-window. Tradition says things begun now don’t finish well, so big starts and journeys wait. | 9:16 AM – 10:41 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. | 12:06 PM – 1:31 PM |
Auspicious times
Abhijit Muhurtham?The midday power slot around local noon — considered good for almost anything. Not used on Wednesdays. | 11:43 AM – 12:29 PM |
|---|---|
Brahma Muhurtham?The calm window before dawn, prized for study, meditation and yoga. | 4:44 AM – 5:35 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. | 7:50 AM – 9:16 AM Laabam9:16 AM – 10:41 AM Dhanam10:41 AM – 12:06 PM Sugam1:31 PM – 2:57 PM Uthi4:22 PM – 5:47 PM AmirdhaGowri Panchangam → |
Five limbs of the day
| Day | Tuesday |
|---|---|
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 12:27 AM (21 Apr) then Krishna Prathama |
Nakshatra?The star-zone the Moon is passing through. There are 27; the one at your birth is your birth star. | Chitra (Chithirai) until 12:58 AM (21 Apr) then Swati (Swathi) |
Yoga?One of 27 combinations of the Sun’s and Moon’s positions, each with its own flavour for the day. | Harshana until 2:17 PM then Vajra |
Karana?Half a tithi. Eleven kinds cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one people avoid. | Vishti (Bhadra) until 12:51 PM then Bava until 12:27 AM (21 Apr) then Balava |
Moon sign (Rasi)?The zodiac sign (rasi) the Moon is in right now. It moves on every 2¼ days. | Kanya (Virgo) until 1:01 PM then Thula (Libra) |
| Sun sign | Mesha (Aries) |
| Lunar month (amanta) | Chaitra, 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. | Kumbha (Aquarius) until 1:01 PM then Meena (Pisces) |

About today’s panchangam for Thembisa
In Thembisa on Tuesday, 20 April 2027, the sun rises at 6:25 AM and sets at 5:47 PM. Rahu Kalam runs 2:57 PM – 4:22 PM, Yamagandam 9:16 AM – 10:41 AM and Gulikai Kalam 12:06 PM – 1:31 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 Chitra (Chithirai) nakshatra. The Tamil date is Chithirai 7, Plavanga year.
