How this day differs

• Sunrise 07:21 (yesterday 07:20), sunset 17:45 (yesterday 17:47), daylight 10 h 24 min (yesterday 10 h 26 min).
• Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 22:52, yesterday 21:35; moonset 13:29, yesterday 12:43.
• At 07:21 the tithi is Krishna Saptami; at yesterday’s sunrise (07:20) it was Krishna Panchami, and Krishna Shashthi began and ended in between.
• At 07:21 the Moon is in Punarvasu (Ardra at 07:20 yesterday), in Mithuna (Gemini); the yoga is Sadhya (yesterday Shiva).
• Rahu Kaal moves from 11:15–12:33 on Friday (daylight part 4 of 8) to 09:57–11:15 on Saturday (part 3).

Chicago lies at 41.88° N, 87.63° W; local solar noon is at 12:33, with 10 h 24 min of daylight against 11 h 40 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Chicago’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 18 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (42 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
