Disha Shool - San Francisco, 15 May 2027

The sun rises at 6:01 AM and dipping below the horizon at 8:11 PM, bringing 14 hours 10 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of the Shukla fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Uttara Phalguni. Harshana yoga presides over the day, completing the core panchang signature for 2027-05-15. Brahma Muhurta opens at 4:25 AM and closes at 5:13 AM, anchored to today's local sunrise.

Throughout San Francisco, Rahu Kala occupies the stretch from 9:33 AM through 11:20 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

Uttara Phalguni nakshatra is ruled by Sun, anchoring the vedic day in the particulars of San Francisco.
