This is the general reading — the almanac's answer for your place. Cast your kundali and it becomes yours: the Moon's distance from your own birth star and birth rashi is half of what a purohit weighs.

Each window is an auspicious choghadiya or muhurta, with rahu kaal, yamaganda and gulika cut out of it, kept only where the rising sign suits what you are beginning. Nothing shorter than 24 minutes is offered, because a muhurta is classically forty-eight.
