October 25 Muhurat Guide: Abhijit, Rahu Kaal and Amritkaal

Choosing the right time for important activities is a long-standing practice in Hindu tradition. The Panchang provides muhurat and kaal timings to help people plan their day, and for Sunday, October 25, 2026, these timings cover a wide range of daily activities.

The Chaturdashi tithi of Ashwin Shukla Paksha ends at 11:56 AM, after which Purnima begins. The Sun rises at 6:32 AM and sets at 5:49 PM, while the Moon rises at 5:08 PM and sets at 6:25 AM the next morning.

Astrologers highlight the Abhijit Muhurat from 11:48 AM to 12:33 PM as the most auspicious period of the day. It falls when the Sun is directly overhead and is believed to be ideal for meaningful beginnings. Amritkaal, from 5:03 PM to 6:34 PM, is also described as a window of positive energy, where success is considered more likely for business, investment, worship and significant travel.

The Harshan Yoga continues until 5:21 PM. It is listed as the 14th of the 27 natural yogas and is associated with joy and vitality. Its deities are Bhaga and the Sun.

For those who prefer to avoid inauspicious periods, the Panchang lists several cautions. Yamaganda Kaal from 12:10 PM to 1:35 PM is linked with Yama and considered unsuitable for new work, journeys and financial dealings. Gulika Kaal from 3:00 PM to 4:24 PM, sometimes called the poisonous time, is viewed as a period when new tasks should be avoided, though routine work may continue. Rahu Kaal from 4:24 PM to 5:49 PM is also treated as unfavourable for starting new activities. Its exact timing varies by location, and it is calculated by dividing the period between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts.

The Sun's placement in Libra and the Moon's in Pisces shape the broader energy of the day. The Sun in Libra is seen as weakened, while the Moon in Pisces supports compassion and spirituality. Dishashool lies in the west, and travel in that direction is considered inauspicious.
