Rahu Kaal or Rahu Kaalam in Indian Vedic Astrology

Rahu Kaal (also spelled as Rahu Kaalam) is a specific period of around 90 minutes every day that is considered inauspicious in Indian Vedic Astrology. It is ruled by the shadow planet Rahu, which is known for creating obstacles, confusion, delays, and distractions. Astrologers generally advise avoiding any important or auspicious work during this time.

Significance of Rahu Kaal

According to Vedic tradition, the time ruled by Rahu is filled with negative energy and is not suitable for beginning new ventures, marriages, investments, or journeys. It is believed that anything initiated during Rahu Kaal may face hurdles or not yield the desired results.

Daily Timing of Rahu Kaal

The timing of Rahu Kaal varies each day and is calculated based on the sunrise and sunset time of a particular location. It usually lasts for 1.5 hours. Below is a general guide (approximate) for Rahu Kaal each weekday:

*Note: Exact timing depends on local sunrise, so it's advisable to check a local panchang or astrology app for accurate Rahu Kaal.

Activities to Avoid During Rahu Kaal

Exceptions and Clarifications

Rahu Kaal is not considered harmful for routine daily tasks or ongoing work. If an activity was started before the onset of Rahu Kaal, it can be continued. Also, for spiritual practices, Rahu Kaal is not necessarily a bad time, especially for worship related to Goddess Durga, Lord Shiva, or Rahu itself.

Conclusion

Being aware of Rahu Kaal is essential for timing important activities in Indian Vedic Astrology. Avoiding new beginnings during this period can help reduce negative influences. For personalized guidance based on your birth chart and current planetary periods, consult an experienced astrologer like Dr. A.S. Kalra.
