Three windows kept free of new beginnings

Rahu Kaal

06:59 – 08:27

Yamaganda

09:55 – 11:22

Gulika Kaal

12:50 – 14:18

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.
