Three windows kept free of new beginnings

Rahu Kaal

07:28 – 08:57

Yamaganda

10:26 – 11:55

Gulika Kaal

13:24 – 14:53

What none of this means. No window here is dangerous, and nothing bad happens to anyone in Rahu Kaal. These are conventions about when to BEGIN things — they are not a reason to delay medicine, a flight, an exam, or anything already underway. VEDAUM will never tell you a time is unsafe.
