At sunrise the Moon is at 122.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 122.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 9.15, which puts it in nakshatra 10 of 27.

Abhijit11:54 AM – 12:37 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 42 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal9:37 AM – 10:56 AM
Daylight today is 636 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 79 minutes. On Saturday, Rahu Kaal is part 3. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
