Abhijit Muhurta - London, 9 October 2026

On Friday, the 9th of October 2026, the Vedic calendar in London carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:15 AM and dipping below the horizon at 6:18 PM, bringing 11 hours 3 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Phalguni. The day carries the Brahma yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2026-10-09. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:39 AM to 6:27 AM.

In London, Rahu Kala runs from 11:24 AM to 12:47 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Friday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 8:38 AM to 10:01 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is under the lordship of Sun, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with London's horizon.
