How this day differs

  • Sunrise 05:18 (yesterday 05:19), sunset 18:24 (yesterday 18:24), daylight 13 h 06 min (yesterday 13 h 05 min).
  • Between this sunrise and the next: moonrise 00:57 (next day), yesterday 00:12 (next day); moonset 11:01, yesterday 09:54.
  • At 05:18 the tithi is Krishna Saptami; at yesterday’s sunrise (05:19) it was Krishna Shashthi.
  • At 05:18 the Moon is in Pushya (Punarvasu at 05:19 yesterday), having moved from Mithuna (Gemini) into Karka (Cancer); the yoga is Sadhya (yesterday Siddha).
  • Rahu Kaal moves from 08:35–10:13 on Saturday (daylight part 3 of 8) to 16:46–18:24 on Sunday (part 8).

Johannesburg lies at 26.20° S, 28.05° E; local solar noon is at 11:51, with 13 h 06 min of daylight against 11 h 40 min in Bengaluru. The limbs end at the same instants everywhere; this page gives Johannesburg’s local clock.

Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Abhijit and Brahma muhurta

Each daylight part is 1 h 38 min today; the weekday picks which part is Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda or Gulika, which panchangas avoid for new work, while Abhijit (52 min) and Brahma muhurta count as favourable by tradition. Some panchangas reckon Brahma muhurta with fixed 48-minute muhurtas.
