The Panchang (meaning “five limbs” in Sanskrit) is the traditional Hindu calendar system used to determine auspicious and inauspicious timings for daily activities. The five elements are Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Sun-Moon angular relationship), Karana (half of a Tithi), and Vara (weekday). Together, these five components provide a complete picture of the cosmic energy available on any given day.
Today in San Francisco, the Tithi is Ashtami (Shukla Paksha), and the Moon occupies Vishakha Nakshatra (Pada 3), ruled by Jupiter. The prevailing Yoga is Brahma, which is considered favourable for starting new endeavours.
All timings on this page are calculated specifically for San Francisco (America/Los_Angeles timezone) using the Lahiri Ayanamsa and precise astronomical positions from NASA JPL ephemeris data. Sunrise in San Francisco today is at 6:28 AM and sunset at 7:56 PM, giving a day length of 13 hours and 28 minutes.
Rahu Kaal (1:12 PM - 2:53 PM) is a period considered inauspicious for starting new ventures, signing contracts, or beginning journeys. This timing is calculated by dividing the daytime into eight equal parts and assigning the Rahu-ruled segment based on the weekday.
Abhijit Muhurat (12:45 PM - 1:39 PM) is the most auspicious window of the day, occurring around solar noon. It is considered universally favourable for important activities regardless of other unfavourable periods.
Yamaganda (8:09 AM - 9:50 AM) and Gulika Kaal (11:31 AM - 1:12 PM) are additional inauspicious windows. While Rahu Kaal receives the most attention, traditional practitioners also avoid Yamaganda for health-related decisions and Gulika Kaal for financial matters.
Today's tithi in San Francisco is Ashtami (Shukla Paksha). The Tithi is the lunar day, determined by the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month, 15 in each Paksha.

The Abhijit Muhurat in San Francisco today is from 12:45 PM to 1:39 PM. This is the most auspicious time window, ideal for starting important activities, worship, and new beginnings.
