At sunrise the Moon is at 134.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 134.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 10.08, which puts it in nakshatra 11 of 27.

Abhijit12:01 PM – 12:37 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 Kaal8:58 AM – 10:05 AM
Daylight today is 538 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 67 minutes. On Monday, Rahu Kaal is part 2. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

MoonRises 10:51 PM, Sets 10:52 AM, 74% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.
