Choghadiya - San Francisco, 5 May 2027

On Wednesday, the 5th of May 2027, the Vedic calendar for those in San Francisco carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. The morning light begins at 6:10 AM and dipping below the horizon at 8:02 PM, bringing 13 hours 52 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Amavasya of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Ashwini. Yoga for the day is Ayushman, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-05-05. Pre-dawn, from 4:34 AM to 5:22 AM, is Brahma Muhurta: the period the Vedic tradition reserves for prayer, meditation, and study.

For those in San Francisco, From 1:06 PM to 2:50 PM Rahu Kala is in force — the period to avoid for new endeavours. On Wednesday the Disha Shool (directional affliction) is North; the classical recommendation is to delay North-facing departures. On the auspicious side, Labh (6:10 AM–7:54 AM) is the top-quality choghadiya of the day. Ashwini nakshatra is governed by Ketu, grounding the cosmic calendar in the rhythms of this specific place and time.
