The five limbs of the day
A panchang ("five limbs") describes a day by tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and weekday. Each is read at San Francisco's sunrise, with the time it ends.
Tithi (lunar day)
Purnima · Shukla
until 9:11 PM · then Pratipada
Purnima (full moon) — peak, luminous energy. Powerful for spiritual practice, completion and generosity, though emotions run high.
Nakshatra (Moon's star)
Ashwini
until 5:11 AM, Oct 26 · then Bharani
The Moon rides Ashwini today: fast healer, first out the gate, allergic to waiting.
Yoga (Sun + Moon)
Vajra
until 1:47 AM, Oct 26 · then Siddhi
Vajra is one of the tenser yogas — hold off on anything important and keep to routine and care.
Karana (half a tithi)
Vishti
until 10:22 AM · then Bava until 9:11 PM, Balava
Vishti (Bhadra) is active — the one karana classically avoided for anything auspicious. Wait it out before finalising.
Vara (weekday)
Sunday
Sun's day
Sunday. Ruled by the Sun — favours authority, health, government dealings and standing your ground. Go bold; avoid playing small.

Aries
Moonrise 5:54 PM

How these times are worked out
Sunrise and sunset are computed for San Francisco's coordinates (37.77°N, 122.42°W), with the Sun's upper edge on the horizon. Every window on this page is counted from them, which is why San Francisco's times differ from any other city's.
The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana come from the sidereal (Lahiri) positions of the Sun and Moon, the system Indian almanacs use. End times are cut to the minute, the way printed panchangs show them.
The page refreshes every few minutes, and the day turns over at midnight San Francisco time. For another date or a place not listed, use the Panchang tool.
Questions people ask
What is today's tithi in San Francisco?
At sunrise in San Francisco on Sunday, 25 October 2026 the tithi (lunar day) is Purnima of Shukla Paksha, until 9:11 PM. The tithi is the Moon's distance from the Sun in steps of 12 degrees, so it can change at any hour of the day.
Which nakshatra is it today?
The Moon is in Ashwini nakshatra at sunrise, until 5:11 AM, Oct 26 (San Francisco time). A nakshatra is one of the 27 star segments the Moon passes through, about one a day.
What time is Rahu Kaal in San Francisco today?
On Sunday, 25 October 2026, Rahu Kaal in San Francisco runs from 4:58 PM to 6:19 PM (PDT). It is one of eight equal parts of the daytime, from sunrise (7:28 AM) to sunset (6:19 PM), and which part it takes depends on the weekday. Almanacs avoid starting anything new in it.
What are the good times today in San Francisco?
Abhijit Muhurta 12:32 PM to 1:15 PM; Amrit Kaal 10:29 PM to 11:59 PM. For hour-by-hour timing, see the choghadiya for San Francisco.
Why does San Francisco need its own panchang?
Every window here is counted from San Francisco's own sunrise and sunset, which move with latitude, longitude and season. A city a few hundred kilometres away can be several minutes apart, and the end times of the tithi and nakshatra are shown in San Francisco's local time.
