Santa Francesca Panchang

About Panchang in Santa Francesca

Every traditional Hindu day is read through five limbs — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and the weekday (vara) — which together make up the panchang, literally "five limbs". This page sets out all five for Santa Francesca, Lazio on 18 June 2026: the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi is in force with the Moon travelling through Pushya nakshatra. Crucially, every muhurat and kaal below is derived from Santa Francesca's own sunrise at 41.72°N, 13.45°E, not lifted from an India-time almanac.

Here is why this page is computed for Santa Francesca and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 41.72°N, 13.45°E on Europe/Rome time, Santa Francesca's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Santa Francesca at 5:31 AM and sets at 8:43 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 Europe/Rome local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Santa Francesca's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.

If you live in Santa Francesca or elsewhere in Lazio, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:37 PM – 1:37 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (3:01 PM – 4:55 PM) is best avoided for new beginnings. The choghadiya tables above divide Thursday's daylight and night into auspicious and inauspicious spells — every figure already in Santa Francesca local time, with no conversion from IST required.
