At sunrise the Moon is 62.3° ahead of the Sun. 62.3 ÷ 12° = 5.19, which puts it in lunar day 6 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish

At sunrise the Moon is at 312.0° in the sidereal zodiac. 312.0 ÷ 13°20′ = 23.40, which puts it in nakshatra 24 of 27.

Abhijit12:00 PM – 12:36 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 36 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal1:25 PM – 2:32 PM
Daylight today is 537 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 67 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it
