Frequently asked questions
What is the tithi in Houston on 8 August 2026?
On 8 August 2026 the tithi in Houston is Krishna Ekadashi, prevailing at sunrise and ending at 12:42 AM CDT. The nakshatra is Mrigashira (pada 1) until 4:14 AM CDT.
When is Rahu Kaal in Houston on 8 August 2026?
Rahu Kaal in Houston on 8 August 2026 runs 10:07 AM to 11:47 AM CDT. Yamaganda (3:07 PM–4:47 PM) and Gulika (6:46 AM–8:26 AM) are also inauspicious — avoid starting new work in all three. They are computed from Houston's actual sunrise, not a fixed national table.
What is the shubh muhurat in Houston on 8 August 2026?
The universally auspicious Abhijit Muhurat runs 1:00 PM–1:54 PM CDT. The choghadiya table above marks every Amrit and Shubh slot through the day and night — those are the best windows to begin work.
Why does Houston's panchang differ from other cities?
Tithis, nakshatras and yogas are moments in time, but Rahu Kaal, choghadiya and Abhijit are derived from local sunrise and sunset, so they shift with longitude and latitude. Bela computes each city from its own coordinates (29.7633°N, -95.3633°E) — never a national average.
How is the "Is today good for…?" score computed?
Bela's engine scans all 16 choghadiya windows of the day for each activity and scores the best one by classical muhurta rules: Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika, Durmuhurtam, Panchaka, nakshatra suitability, tithi and yoga. The 0–100 score is that window's strength — personal Tara Bala vs your birth star is an app feature.
