Rahu Kaal - Houston, 15 December 2025

On Monday, the 15th of December 2025, the Vedic calendar in Houston carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 7:10 AM and dipping below the horizon at 5:23 PM, bringing 10 hours 12 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Krishna side of the lunar month, and the nakshatra of the day is Swati. The day carries the Atiganda yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-12-15. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 5:34 AM to 6:22 AM.

In Houston, Rahu Kala runs from 8:27 AM to 9:43 AM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Monday is East; new ventures toward the East are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Amrit choghadiya, running 7:10 AM to 8:27 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Swati nakshatra is under the lordship of Rahu, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Houston's horizon.
