October 29 Panchang: Avoid Travel South, Amrit Kaal from 8:17 AM to 9:44 AM

New Delhi, October 28 (Daily Kiran) : In Hindu tradition, the Panchang holds significant importance. It is consulted before undertaking auspicious activities, travel, investments, or rituals. The Panchang is a system of Hindu timekeeping based on the positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.

On October 29, the fourth day of the waning phase of Kartik month will commence at 1:07 AM and conclude at 10:10 PM. This will be followed by the fifth day, which lasts until 7:25 PM on October 30. Sunrise on Thursday will be at 6:34 AM, with sunset occurring at 5:46 PM. The moon will rise at 8:33 PM and set the next morning at 10:52 AM.

According to the Panchang, the sun will be positioned in the Swati Nakshatra on this day. Astrologically, the sun’s presence in Swati is believed to bring profound effects, encouraging individuals to break free from old circumstances and limitations. The presiding deity of this Nakshatra is Vayu Dev (the wind), while Rahu is its ruling planet.

The Parigh Yoga will be in effect until 12:05 AM on Thursday, after which the Shiv Yoga will begin. Parigh Yoga, the 19th of the 27 daily yogas, is interpreted as a period associated with obstacles or barriers. It is governed by Lord Vishwakarma and influenced by Saturn. Generally, this yoga is considered inauspicious.

The Abhijit Muhurat, regarded as the most favorable time of the day, will occur from 11:48 AM to 12:33 PM. This period, lasting about 48 minutes, is believed to negate all inauspicious influences when activities are performed during this time.

From 8:17 AM to 9:44 AM, the Amrit Kaal will be in effect. This auspicious period is associated with positive energies and is considered ideal for new ventures, investments, prayers, and significant travels.

However, the Rahu Kaal will take place from 1:34 PM to 2:58 PM, a time deemed unfavorable for starting new or auspicious tasks. This period is calculated by dividing the daylight hours into eight equal parts, each lasting about 90 minutes, and varies with location. Existing tasks can continue, but new endeavors should be avoided.

Yamgand Kaal will run from 6:34 AM to 7:58 AM, a time linked to Yama, the god of death. It is considered inauspicious for initiating new projects, and caution is advised regarding health and longevity during this period.

The Gulika Kaal will be observed from 9:22 AM to 10:46 AM. Often referred to as a ‘poisonous time,’ it is believed that actions taken during this period can yield negative outcomes. While new tasks should be avoided, ongoing projects can continue, and routine actions are acceptable.

On this day, the sun will be in Libra. Astrologically, this is considered a debilitation for the sun, as Libra is governed by Venus, contrasting with the sun’s fiery nature. This positioning may lead to a sense of diminished strength or confidence.

The moon will remain in Taurus throughout the day and night. The presence of the moon in Taurus is viewed as highly auspicious, promoting mental stability and emotional calmness.

Traveling south on this day is discouraged due to the presence of Dishashool, a direction considered inauspicious for journeys.
