Today's Tithi in The Pacifica
The tithi on 17 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Tritiya. A tithi is one lunar day — the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun — and it governs which observances, fasts and ceremonies suit the day. End times on this page are converted to The Pacifica local time (Asia/Hong Kong).
Today's Nakshatra in The Pacifica
The Moon is in Punarvasu nakshatra. The zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′ each; the one the Moon occupies colours the day's character and matters for naming ceremonies, travel decisions and muhurat selection in The Pacifica.
Today's Yoga in The Pacifica
Today's yoga is Dhruva. Yoga is computed from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon and cycles through 27 names; some yogas are read as favourable for new undertakings while others counsel routine work.
Sunrise and Sunset in The Pacifica
On 17 June 2026 the sun rises in The Pacifica at 5:39 AM and sets at 7:09 PM. Sunrise is the hinge of the whole panchang: the Hindu day begins at local sunrise, and Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika and the choghadiya sequence are all equal divisions of the daylight between these two moments.
About Panchang in The Pacifica
A panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac that maps each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the constellation the Moon occupies), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). This page carries the complete panchang for The Pacifica, Sham Shui Po District for 17 June 2026: today the Shukla Paksha Tritiya tithi prevails with the Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra, and every muhurat and kaal window below is worked out for The Pacifica's own sky rather than copied from an Indian city's almanac.
Here is why this page is computed for The Pacifica and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 22.33°N, 114.15°E on Asia/Hong Kong time, The Pacifica's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 17 June 2026 the sun rises over The Pacifica at 5:39 AM and sets at 7:09 PM — figures no Indian city shares — and the inauspicious periods — Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda, Gulika — along with the choghadiya sequence and Abhijit Muhurat are all slices of that local daylight, so each sits at a different clock time than it would in India. A large timezone offset can even move the tithi onto a different calendar date.
How these timings are calculated: planetary longitudes come from the Swiss Ephemeris, the same high-precision library used by professional astrology software, with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa — the sidereal reference adopted by India's official Rashtriya Panchang. Tithi changes when the Moon moves 12° ahead of the Sun; nakshatra changes as the Moon crosses each 13°20′ arc of the zodiac. These transition moments are universal, and we convert each one into Asia/Hong Kong local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from The Pacifica's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in The Pacifica or elsewhere in Sham Shui Po District, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (11:57 AM – 12:51 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (12:24 PM – 2:05 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Wednesday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in The Pacifica local time, with no conversion from IST required.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a panchang?
A panchang is the Hindu almanac that describes each day through five limbs — tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (the Moon's constellation), yoga, karana and vara (weekday) — and from them derives the day's auspicious (muhurat) and inauspicious (Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda) periods. This page computes all of them for The Pacifica, Hong Kong.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in The Pacifica?
The daylight between The Pacifica's local sunrise and sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and one fixed part belongs to Rahu depending on the weekday (for example the 8th part on Sunday, the 2nd on Monday). Because The Pacifica's sunrise and day length differ from India's, its Rahu Kalam falls at different clock times than in Indian cities.
What time is Rahu Kalam in The Pacifica on 17 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in The Pacifica on 17 June 2026 is from 12:24 PM – 2:05 PM Sham Shui Po District local time. It is computed from The Pacifica's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 17 June 2026 in The Pacifica?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Tritiya, until 12:11 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to The Pacifica's timezone (Asia/Hong Kong).
Why is the panchang for The Pacifica different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. The Pacifica (22.33°, 114.15°) has different sun times than India, so Rahu Kalam, choghadiya and muhurat windows shift — and because of the time difference, even the tithi prevailing on your calendar date can differ from India's. This page is computed specifically for The Pacifica.
What is the shubh muhurat in The Pacifica on 17 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 11:57 AM – 12:51 PM local time in The Pacifica.
