Tarabalam - Houston, 17 June 2025

On Tuesday, 17 June 2025, the Vedic calendar across Houston carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Dawn breaks at 6:22 AM in Houston and dipping below the horizon at 8:23 PM, bringing 14 hours 1 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Saptami of the Krishna fortnight, and the nakshatra of the day is Shatabhisha. The reigning yoga is Priti, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-06-17. The Brahma Muhurta window for Houston spans 4:46 AM to 5:34 AM — the hour the classics name as most favourable for study and sadhana.

Across Houston, The Rahu Kala window falls between 4:52 PM and 6:37 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours.

Shatabhisha nakshatra is with Rahu as its ruling planet, making this a day shaped by both celestial timing and local geography.
