| Tithi | the lunar day: 1/30th of the Moon's elongation from the Sun; Shukla is the waxing half, Krishna the waning |
| Nakshatra | the lunar mansion the Moon occupies — the day's emotional grain |
| Yoga | a Sun–Moon angle (27 divisions) traditionally read for the day's underlying tone |
| Karana | half a tithi; Vishti (Bhadra) is the one classically avoided for beginnings |

Rahu Kalam is an inauspicious window of roughly 90 minutes each day — the weekday’s eighth of daylight — traditionally avoided for beginning important new ventures.
