Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam and Gulika today in Mysuru

Three caution periods are calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts. They shift with your local sunrise, so they are different in every city and different every day.

Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.

For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Rahu Kaal guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.

The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.

Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
