Choghadiya - Houston, 11 December 2025

On Thursday, the 11th of December 2025, the Vedic calendar in Houston carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:07 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:21 PM, bringing 10 hours 14 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ashtami of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Purva Phalguni. The day carries the Priti yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-11. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:31 AM to 6:19 AM.

In Houston, Rahu Kala runs from 1:31 PM to 2:48 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Thursday is South; new ventures toward the South are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Shubh choghadiya, running 7:07 AM to 8:24 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Purva Phalguni nakshatra is under the lordship of Venus, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Houston's horizon.
