Sunday’s Panchang at a glance: timings, tithi, nakshatra

Sunday, September 14, 2025, lines up as Krishna Ashtami in the Bhadrapada month—one of those steady, productive days when discipline and devotion can actually feel easy. If you’ve been waiting to schedule prayers, study, or creative work, today’s grid of tithi, nakshatra, and yoga gives you a clear runway.

Sunrise is at 06:05 and sunset is at 18:28, giving a day length of about 12 hours and 23 minutes. The Ashtami tithi of Krishna Paksha continues until 27:07 (that is 03:07 on Monday). Ashtami is traditionally linked with sadhana, restraint, and Shakti upasana, so it suits focused spiritual practice and inner work.

The moon begins the day in Rohini and shifts to Mrigashira at 08:40. Rohini carries a calm, nurturing tone; Mrigashira brings curiosity, gentle persuasion, and a taste for exploration. Expect softer communication and an ease with learning and research after the nakshatra change. Moonrise is at 23:18 and moonset at 13:09.

The Moon stays in Taurus (Vrishabha) until 20:04:22, then enters Gemini. Taurus Moon hours support steady effort—finances, methodical planning, and tasks that need patience. Once the Moon moves to Gemini, the pace quickens: messages, calls, drafting, brainstorming, and short trips feel more natural.

Two yogas shape the day’s tone: Vajra Yoga lasts until 07:31, and then Siddhi Yoga takes over until 04:55 on Monday. Vajra can feel intense in the early morning—good for firm resolve—while Siddhi is the classic success-signature yoga, encouraging progress in academic, artistic, and well-planned professional work through the day and late night.

For the half-day blocks (karanas), Balava runs until 16:05, followed by Kaulava until 27:07 (03:07 Monday). Both are workable for regular duties; Kaulava is often chosen for community-facing tasks and cooperative work.

Here’s the part most readers check first: the day’s standout muhurats. The Aaj Ka Panchang for this Sunday indicates Brahm Muhurat—ideal for prayer, japa, and meditation—approximately from 04:29 to 05:17, calculated from the given sunrise time. The Abhijeet/Abhijit Muhurat—centered around local midday—falls roughly from 11:52 to 12:41. Because these windows are derived from sunrise and sunset, city-to-city differences apply, but the method remains the same.

Avoid the inauspicious blocks for new beginnings. Rahu Kaal falls from 16:55 to 18:28. Yamaganda is 12:16 to 13:49, and Gulika Kaal is 15:22 to 16:55. Dushta Muhurtas, another red flag for sensitive starts, run from 16:48 to 17:38. Use these periods for routine or low-stakes tasks, not launches, contracts, or first-time rituals.

On the calendar front, the date corresponds to Shaka Samvat 1947 (Vishvavasu), Vikram Samvat 2082, and Kali Samvat 5126. Month naming differs by system: it’s Bhadrapada in the Amanta tradition and Ashwin in the Purnimanta count. If you track festival dates across regions, this split is why labels sometimes look off by a month while the tithi stays the same.

Planning your day: what to do, what to avoid

If you want a simple plan: lean on the early hours for spiritual practice, use midday for decisive work, and steer clear of late-afternoon red zones. The rest is about using the nakshatra and yoga to your advantage.

Brahm Muhurat (about 04:29–05:17) is quiet, clean time. Keep it simple: a short meditation, Vishnu or Krishna mantra japa, or Devi stotra recitation. A quick abhyanga (oil massage) and a light stretch before sunrise can set the tone for the day.

Abhijeet Muhurat (about 11:52–12:41) is your go-to slot for crisp decisions: sending a key email, making a big call, presenting a plan, or locking a purchase you’ve already researched. It’s also a fine time to state intentions—short sankalpa before you act has a way of focusing the mind.

Because Mrigashira dominates after 08:40, communication, research, and travel planning get a boost. This nakshatra rewards polite persuasion, clear drafting, and fact-finding. If you write, pitch, design, edit video, or prep lecture notes, the day’s flow helps you keep a light tone without losing detail.

With Siddhi Yoga in place for most of the day, creative and educational work is well supported. Think: finishing a lesson plan, polishing a portfolio, recording music, sketching, coding a feature you know well, or prepping a case brief. It’s less about risk and more about steady wins.

Ashtami’s discipline pairs nicely with charitable acts. A small donation to food distribution, a book drive, or offering supplies to a local school fits the day. If you observe fasts, keep them moderate and balanced—hydration and simple fruit or milk in intervals if your tradition allows.

When to hit the brakes? Park new ventures during Rahu Kaal (16:55–18:28). The same caution applies for Yamaganda (12:16–13:49) and Gulika (15:22–16:55). Use these windows to review files, back up data, do maintenance, or learn something without committing to a launch date.

Moon sign shift matters if your work depends on mood and messaging. Up to 20:04, Taurus steadies you—budgeting, reconciling accounts, process fixes, and procurement make sense. After the switch to Gemini, line up lighter tasks: calls, community posts, quick edits, and travel confirmations.

Here’s a concise guide you can pin for the day:

• Early morning: Brahm Muhurat (~04:29–05:17). Prayer, meditation, mantra, intention-setting.
• Morning post-sunrise: Routine work, reading, gentle exercise. Rohini to Mrigashira shift at 08:40 favors research and writing.
• Midday: Abhijeet Muhurat (~11:52–12:41). Decisions, submissions, key messages, carefully timed purchases.
• Afternoon: Productive, but avoid new starts during Yamaganda (12:16–13:49), Gulika (15:22–16:55), and especially Rahu Kaal (16:55–18:28).
• Evening: Keep it light. After 20:04, the Gemini Moon favors networking, planning short trips, and drafting ideas.

Sector-wise tips:

• Students: Use early morning for revision of tough topics; midday for mock tests or timed writing. Schedule new applications or fee payments outside the inauspicious windows.
• Professionals: Lock approvals or send proposals in the Abhijeet window. Use late afternoon for internal reviews, not client-facing launches.
• Creators: Script and storyboard in the morning; record or present near noon; edit in the evening when the Gemini Moon lifts communication.
• Home and family: Declutter and plan budgets before noon; keep purchases modest and pre-researched; start puja or vrat work in auspicious slots.

Worship focus blends well with the day’s tone. For Krishna puja, keep it simple: clean altar, offer tulsi, butter or mishri if you follow the tradition, and read a short passage from the Gita or Bhagavata. For Devi upasana, a brief recitation from Durga Saptashati or a simple hymn with a ghee diya aligns with Ashtami’s energy of restraint and clarity.

Travel? Mrigashira leans friendly to short trips and errands, especially if you’ve pre-checked routes and tickets. If you must start a journey during an inauspicious block, many households do a quick protection prayer at the door, wait a minute, and then proceed.

Purchases and money moves: Taurus Moon hours fit utility buys and planned bill payments. Avoid first-time investments or contract signings inside Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, or Gulika. If you’ve already committed and today is the due date, consider acting in the Abhijeet slot.

About the calendar labels you’ll see on regional almanacs: in the Amanta system used in parts of the south and west, the lunar month ends on amavasya; in the Purnimanta system common in the north, it ends on purnima. That’s why one sheet may call the month Bhadrapada while another calls it Ashwin, yet both point to the same tithi and nakshatra for the day.

One last practical note: all muhurats follow the sun. If you’re far from the reference city for these times, adjust by your local sunrise and sunset. Brahm Muhurat lands roughly 1 hour 36 minutes before sunrise and runs about 48 minutes. Abhijeet is centered on local noon and lasts close to 50 minutes. The given blocks—Rahu, Yamaganda, and Gulika—are best treated as do-not-launch windows wherever you are.
