Yamaganda Kala - Houston, 6 July 2025

On Sunday, the 6th of July 2025, the Vedic calendar in Houston carries a day of particular rhythmic quality. Sunrise arrives at 6:28 AM and dipping below the horizon at 8:24 PM, bringing 13 hours 57 minutes of daylight. The tithi is Ekadashi of Shukla Paksha, and the nakshatra of the day is Vishakha. The day carries the Sadhya yoga, completing the core panchang signature for 2025-07-06. Brahma Muhurta, the pre-dawn meditation window, runs from 4:52 AM to 5:40 AM.

In Houston, Rahu Kala runs from 6:39 PM to 8:24 PM — the period to avoid for new endeavours. The inauspicious direction (Disha Shool) for Sunday is West; new ventures toward the West are traditionally deferred. On the auspicious side, Labh choghadiya, running 9:57 AM to 11:41 AM, stands out as the best muhurta. Vishakha nakshatra is under the lordship of Jupiter, bringing the ancient panchang frame into direct contact with Houston's horizon.
