In Vedic astrology, certain time periods each day are considered inauspicious for starting important tasks, making decisions, or initiating new ventures. These periods—Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal, and Yamaganda Kaal—are believed to be influenced by negative planetary energies, requiring extra caution and mindfulness.
What Are These Inauspicious Periods?
- Rahu Kaal – A 90-minute period governed by Rahu, associated with illusions, confusion, and obstacles. Avoid beginning new projects, signing contracts, or traveling during this time.
- Gulika Kaal – Linked to Gulika (a malefic shadow planet), this period is known for causing delays and setbacks. Many people prefer to postpone major decisions until after this time.
- Yamaganda Kaal – Associated with Yama (the god of death and justice), this period is thought to bring challenges and difficulties. Tasks undertaken during this time may require extra effort to succeed.
If you believe in Vedic astrology, keeping track of these timings can help you plan your day better and avoid unnecessary hurdles.
