October 24 Panchang: Avoid Eastward Travel, Abhijit Muhurat from 11:48 AM to 12:33 PM
The Panchang for October 24 advises against eastward travel and highlights auspicious timings for various activities.
New Delhi, October 23 (Daily Kiran) : In New Delhi, the significance of the Panchang in Hinduism cannot be overstated. Before embarking on any auspicious task, journey, investment, or religious activity, consulting the Panchang is essential. This traditional calendar is based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.
On October 24, 2026, the Shukla Paksha’s Trayodashi Tithi will last until 1:37 PM, followed by the Chaturdashi Tithi. Sunrise will occur at 6:31 AM, while sunset is expected at 5:50 PM. The moon will rise at 4:31 PM and set at 5:22 AM the following day.
According to the Panchang, the Sun will be positioned in the Swati Nakshatra on this day. Astrologically, the presence of the Sun in Swati Nakshatra brings significant and profound effects. This Nakshatra is governed by Vayu Dev (the Wind God) and Rahu, encouraging individuals to break free from old circumstances and constraints.
From 8:00 PM Saturday, the Vyaghata Yoga will prevail until then, transitioning into the Harshan Yoga. In astrology, Vyaghata Yoga, the 13th of the 27 Nitya Yogas, is often viewed as inauspicious, associated with obstacles and challenges.
The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time of the day, will occur from 11:48 AM to 12:33 PM. This period, lasting about 48 minutes, is believed to eliminate negative influences when actions are taken during this time.
Amrit Kaal will be observed from 3:50 PM to 5:23 PM. This time frame is regarded as highly beneficial, filled with positive energy, and is ideal for new ventures, investments, worship, and important travels.
Rahu Kaal will take place from 9:21 AM to 10:46 AM, a period deemed inauspicious for initiating new or auspicious activities. It is calculated by dividing the daylight hours into eight equal parts, each lasting about 90 minutes, and varies by location. Existing tasks can continue during this time.
Yamgand Kaal will be observed from 1:35 PM to 3:00 PM, a period associated with the deity of death, Yama. This time is considered unfavorable for starting new projects or journeys, as it may bring health issues or misfortune.
Gulik Kaal, often termed “poisonous time,” will run from 6:31 AM to 7:56 PM. Activities undertaken during this period are believed to yield negative outcomes. While new ventures should be avoided, ongoing tasks can continue, and activities like banking, donations, or investments are considered favorable.
On this day, the Sun will be in Libra, a position regarded as weak for the Sun. Libra, ruled by Venus, contrasts with the Sun’s fiery nature, which may lead to a decrease in self-confidence and decision-making ability.
The Moon will be in Pisces, which deeply influences an individual’s temperament, relationships, and mental state. Under this influence, individuals strive to maintain balance and peace, avoiding unrest.
Traveling eastward will be unfavorable due to the presence of Dishashool in that direction, as per astrological and Vastu principles.
