There are 30 in a lunar month, split into the waxing Shukla and waning Krishna pakshas. Today in London it is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha). Nakshatra -- the lunar mansion The nakshatra is the constellation the Moon occupies -- 27 in all, each 13°20′ wide. Today the Moon is in purva-bhadrapada, pada 3\. It sets the emotional and muhurta texture of the day. Yoga & Karana Yoga (Dhruva today) is a Sun-Moon angular combination; Karana (Balava today) is half a tithi. Both are used to judge the quality of a moment for specific activities. Vara -- the weekday Vara is the weekday (Shukravara today), ruled by its lord graha. The weekday fixes which parts of the day fall under Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and each Choghadiya. ## Frequently asked questions What is the Rahu Kaal in London today? Today (Friday, 23 October 2026), Rahu Kaal in London runs from 11:27 AM - 12:44 PM. Rahu Kaal is one of eight equal parts of the daytime (sunrise to sunset) and is traditionally avoided for starting new or auspicious activities. It shifts every day because sunrise and sunset change, and its part-of-day is fixed by the weekday. What is today's tithi and nakshatra in London? As of sunrise in London today, the tithi is Dwadashi (Shukla Paksha) and the Moon is in purva-bhadrapada nakshatra, pada 3\. Tithi and nakshatra are evaluated at local sunrise and can change during the day as the Moon moves. What time is sunrise and sunset in London today? In London today, sunrise is at 07:38 AM and sunset at 05:50 PM (local time). These are computed for the city's coordinates using the standard sunrise equation, and they set the boundaries for Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya, and the Vedic day. What is Choghadiya and how do I read it? Choghadiya divides the day and night into eight muhurta windows each. Amrit, Shubh, and Labh are auspicious; Chal is neutral (favoured for travel); Udveg, Kaal, and Rog are best avoided for important starts. The sequence is fixed by the weekday and the exact times come from the day's real sunrise and sunset -- so they are unique to this city and date. Is Rahu Kaal really unlucky? Rahu Kaal is a traditional timing convention, not a fixed omen. Plenty of good things happen during it every day. We show it as neutral information so you can time optional new beginnings around it if you follow the custom -- never as something to fear or to pay to 'remove'.
