Friday July 31, 2026: Lucky Yog, Rahu Kalam and Travel Advice in Panchang

Friday, July 31, 2026, is marked in the Hindu calendar as the second day of Sawan. The day features Saubhagya Yoga, a lucky combination that remains effective until 11:55 PM, offering a supportive backdrop for financial and personal endeavors.

However, the day also contains several inauspicious intervals. Rahu Kalam runs from 10:25 AM to 12:05 PM, Gulika from 7:05 AM to 8:45 AM, and Yamaghan from 3:25 PM to 5:05 PM. Traditional guidance advises postponing new projects, contracts, or important ceremonies during these windows.

Astrologically, the Sun is situated in Cancer and the Moon in Capricorn. Sunrise is at 5:25 AM and sunset at 6:45 PM; Moonrise occurs at 7:56 PM, with moonset the following morning at 6:44 AM. The Dhanishtha Nakshatra extends till 7:27 PM, and the second lunar tithi (Dwitiya) concludes at 10:32 PM.

The ABHIJIT MUHURAT, considered highly favorable, is from 11:39 AM to 12:31 PM—optimal for religious rites, strategic decisions, and starting new initiatives.

Travel direction advice: the west is a Disha Shool today. Journeying westward is best avoided, unless one performs customary protective rites.

Friday also accentuates Lakshmi puja alongside Shiva and Parvati worship, promising prosperity and domestic harmony during the monsoon season.
