Today's Tithi in Spruce Hill
The tithi on 18 June 2026 is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi. 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 Spruce Hill local time (America/New York).
Today's Nakshatra in Spruce Hill
The Moon is in Ashlesha 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 Spruce Hill.
Today's Yoga in Spruce Hill
Today's yoga is Vyaghata. 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 Spruce Hill
On 18 June 2026 the sun rises in Spruce Hill at 5:31 AM and sets at 8:32 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 Spruce Hill
A panchang answers a simple question — what does today favour? — through five limbs: tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara. This is the complete panchang for Spruce Hill, Pennsylvania on 18 June 2026, when the Shukla Paksha Chaturthi tithi prevails and the Moon sits in Ashlesha nakshatra. Every auspicious and inauspicious window shown here is calculated from Spruce Hill's own sky at 39.95°N, 75.21°W, never recycled from a generic IST panchang.
Here is why this page is computed for Spruce Hill and not merely translated from an Indian almanac: the panchang's machinery turns on local sunrise. At 39.95°N, 75.21°W on America/New York time, Spruce Hill's day starts and ends at its own hours. On 18 June 2026 the sun rises over Spruce Hill at 5:31 AM and sets at 8:32 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 America/New York local time, then derive sunrise-dependent windows from Spruce Hill's own horizon. The full method is documented on our methodology page.
If you live in Spruce Hill or elsewhere in Pennsylvania, use this page the way a family priest would: check the tithi and nakshatra first, then choose your hour. Abhijit Muhurat (12:32 PM – 1:32 PM) is the day's most dependable auspicious window, while Rahu Kalam (2:54 PM – 4:47 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 Spruce Hill 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 Spruce Hill, United States.
How is Rahu Kalam calculated in Spruce Hill?
The daylight between Spruce Hill'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 Spruce Hill'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 Spruce Hill on 18 June 2026?
Rahu Kalam in Spruce Hill on 18 June 2026 is from 2:54 PM – 4:47 PM Pennsylvania local time. It is computed from Spruce Hill's own sunrise and sunset — not India's — so it differs from Rahu Kalam in Indian cities.
What is the tithi on 18 June 2026 in Spruce Hill?
The tithi is Shukla Paksha Chaturthi, until 9:31 AM local time. Tithi end times are converted to Spruce Hill's timezone (America/New York).
Why is the panchang for Spruce Hill different from India?
All panchang timings depend on local sunrise and sunset. Spruce Hill (39.95°, -75.21°) 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 Spruce Hill.
What is the shubh muhurat in Spruce Hill on 18 June 2026?
Abhijit Muhurat, the most auspicious window of the day, is 12:32 PM – 1:32 PM local time in Spruce Hill.
