How to read today's table for San Francisco

Green slots (Amrit, Shubh, Labh) are the day's best hours — schedule weddings, signings, launches and purchases there. The blue Chal slot is workable, and traditionally preferred for travel. Red slots (Udveg, Rog, Kaal) are the hours to avoid for anything that must begin well.

Slot lengths follow San Francisco's daylight: the eight day slots divide sunrise to sunset exactly, so they are longer in summer and shorter in winter. That is why a generic 90-minute table misleads — the times above are computed from San Francisco's own sunrise and sunset.

Cross-check with Rahu Kaal for San Francisco and the Panchang for San Francisco before fixing any important time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Choghadiya today in San Francisco?

Today (Friday, Nov 13), San Francisco has 3 auspicious day slots (Labh, Amrit, Shubh) and 3 inauspicious ones (Kaal, Rog, Udveg). The full day and night tables are above.

When should I avoid beginnings in San Francisco today?

Avoid the Kaal, Rog and Udveg choghadiya slots (marked in red) for anything new — together they cover roughly a third of the day. Routine work may continue, but new ventures should wait for Amrit, Shubh or Labh.

Why are the Choghadiya slots not exactly 90 minutes?

Each day and night is split into 8 equal slots, so slot length follows the seasons: in summer the day slots stretch longer than 90 minutes, in winter they shrink. Near the equator they stay close to 90 minutes year-round.

Is San Francisco Choghadiya different from Rahu Kaal?

Yes. Rahu Kaal is a single ~90-minute inauspicious window each day, while Choghadiya grades every hour of the day and night as good, neutral or bad. Muhurta practice uses both together — see this page's Rahu Kaal link above.
