What changes at sunrise around 2 September 2026
Each value is the one current at sunrise, the convention an almanac uses when a single figure has to stand for a civil date. Neighbouring days are here because that convention hides movement: a limb can hold across two sunrises or turn over twice. What each limb is.

The seven windows on 2 September 2026
In clock order through the day, with each length beside it. The three avoided windows come out at 95 minutes apiece because that is an eighth of this particular 12 h 42 m day — the arithmetic is in the next table.
| Window | Time (IST) | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma Muhurat | 04:23-05:59 | 96 min |
| Sunrise | 05:59 | an instant |
| Yamaghanta Kaal | 07:34-09:10 | 96 min |
| Gulika Kaal | 10:45-12:20 | 95 min |
| Abhijit Muhurat | 11:55-12:46 | 51 min |
| Rahu Kaal | 12:20-13:55 | 95 min |
| Sunset | 18:41 | an instant |
The eight parts of 2 September 2026
Sunrise 05:59 to sunset 18:41 is 762 minutes, so each eighth runs 95.3 minutes. Which three of the eight carry names depends on the weekday, and on Wednesday they fall here. This day is 143 minutes longer than the shortest day in the table, and 76 minutes shorter than the longest, and every window above stretches or shrinks with it.
| Part | From | To | Named |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 05:59 | 07:34 | — |
| 2 | 07:34 | 09:10 | Yamaghanta |
| 3 | 09:10 | 10:45 | — |
| 4 | 10:45 | 12:20 | Gulika |
| 5 | 12:20 | 13:55 | Rahu Kaal |
| 6 | 13:55 | 15:31 | — |
| 7 | 15:31 | 17:06 | — |
| 8 | 17:06 | 18:41 | — |
The five parts without a name are not auspicious by elimination — they are simply unmarked. For anywhere other than New Delhi the panchang tool recomputes all of this from that city’s own sunrise.
Chandra Bala on 2 September 2026 — all twelve rashis
One Moon, twelve answers: the house is the distance from your janma rashi to Aries. The last column counts forward to your own next Chandrashtama from this date, which is a different date for every rashi.
| Janma rashi | House | Bhava | Class | Next Chandrashtama |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ♈︎Aries | 1 | Tanu — the body and the self | Favourable | 17 Sep |
| ♉︎Taurus | 12 | Vyaya — expenditure, release and distant places | Avoided | 19 Sep |
| ♊︎Gemini | 11 | Labha — gain, income and networks | Favourable | 22 Sep |
| ♋︎Cancer | 10 | Karma — action, career and standing | Favourable | 24 Sep |
| ♌︎Leo | 9 | Bhagya — fortune, dharma and long journeys | Middling | 26 Sep |
| ♍︎Virgo | 8 | Randhra — upheaval, the hidden and longevity | Avoided | today |
| ♎︎Libra | 7 | Kalatra — partnership, spouse and trade | Favourable | 4 Sep |
| ♏︎Scorpio | 6 | Shatru — competition, debt and disease | Favourable | 6 Sep |
| ♐︎Sagittarius | 5 | Putra — children, learning and creativity | Middling | 8 Sep |
| ♑︎Capricorn | 4 | Bandhu — home, mother and comfort | Avoided | 10 Sep |
| ♒︎Aquarius | 3 | Sahaja — effort, siblings and short journeys | Favourable | 12 Sep |
| ♓︎Pisces | 2 | Dhana — wealth, speech and family | Middling | 14 Sep |
Virgo holds the window while the Moon is in Aries — still there at sunrise on 3 September 2026, and in Taurus by sunrise on 4 September 2026, when Aries takes over. The crossing is somewhere between those two sunrises; the table samples the Moon once a day, so naming a minute would be inventing precision.
Tara Bala from your birth star on 2 September 2026
Counted from your janma nakshatra to Bharani, the day’s. Nine taras repeat three times across the 27, so each is reached from exactly three birth stars — find yours in the right-hand column and read across.
| Tara | What it signifies | If your janma nakshatra is |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Janma | the birth star — intensifies rather than helps | Bharani, Purva Ashadha, Purva Phalguni |
| 2. Sampat | wealth; the strongest for anything undertaken for gain | Ashwini, Moola, Magha |
| 3. Vipat | danger and loss; not chosen for beginnings or travel | Revati, Jyeshtha, Ashlesha |
| 4. Kshema | well-being; for what needs to hold rather than to win | Uttara Bhadrapada, Anuradha, Pushya |
| 5. Pratyari | obstruction; avoided where another party must consent | Purva Bhadrapada, Vishakha, Punarvasu |
| 6. Sadhaka | accomplishment; for finishing rather than starting | Shatabhisha, Swati, Ardra |
| 7. Vadha | harm; the heaviest of the three, rejected outright | Dhanishta, Chitra, Mrigashira |
| 8. Mitra | friendship; for dealings with people rather than things | Shravana, Hasta, Rohini |
| 9. Ati-Mitra | close friendship, also Parama Mitra; the mildest of the nine | Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Phalguni, Krittika |
Bharani is the sunrise nakshatra again on 30 September 2026, 27 October 2026, 23 November 2026 — so the nine columns above shift wholesale on those dates and the tara you land on changes with them. Find your nakshatra if you do not know it.
FAQ
Questions about 2 September 2026
What is the tithi on 2 September 2026?+
Krishna Panchami, in Krishna Paksha, at sunrise (05:59) in New Delhi. Krishna Chaturthi was the tithi at sunrise the previous day. By the next sunrise it is Krishna Saptami.
What is the Rahu Kaal on 2 September 2026 in New Delhi?+
12:20-13:55 — 95 minutes, which is one-eighth of this 12 h 42 m day. It is the 5th of the eight equal parts between sunrise (05:59) and sunset (18:41), because that is the part Wednesday takes. Yamaghanta is 07:34-09:10 and Gulika 10:45-12:20 on the same construction.
How long is the day on 2 September 2026, and how long is each part?+
Sunrise to sunset is 12 h 42 m in New Delhi, so each of the eight parts runs 95.3 minutes. That is 143 minutes longer than the shortest day in this two-year table (10 h 19 m on 17 December 2026), and 76 minutes shorter than the longest (13 h 58 m on 14 June 2026). Every window on this page is a fraction of that length, so all of them move with it.
Which nakshatra is the Moon in on 2 September 2026?+
Bharani, at sunrise, with the Moon at 15.2° of Aries. It is the sunrise nakshatra again on 30 September 2026, 27 October 2026, 23 November 2026. The degree is given because the nakshatra alone does not fix the rashi — nine of the 27 straddle a sign boundary.
Which rashi is in Chandrashtama on 2 September 2026?+
Virgo (Kanya) — the Moon is in Aries, which is the eighth rashi from Virgo. Exactly one rashi qualifies on any date. The Moon is still in Aries at sunrise on 3 September 2026 and in Taurus by sunrise on 4 September 2026, at which point Aries takes over the window.
When is my next Chandrashtama after 2 September 2026?+
Counted forward from this date: Aries 17 September 2026; Taurus 19 September 2026; Gemini 22 September 2026; Cancer 24 September 2026; Leo 26 September 2026; Virgo 2 September 2026; Libra 4 September 2026; Scorpio 6 September 2026; Sagittarius 8 September 2026; Capricorn 10 September 2026; Aquarius 12 September 2026; Pisces 14 September 2026. Each rashi gets one window a lunar month, lasting two or three sunrises.
Is 2 September 2026 an auspicious day?+
Not a question a dated page can answer. Six of the twelve houses are classed favourable, so 6 of the twelve rashis sit in a favourable position on this date — and Tara Bala, the tithi, the karana and your own chart all still have to be applied. The combined filter passes roughly a third of days for any one person.
Where is this panchang computed for, and how?+
New Delhi (28.6139°N, 77.209°E), from the JPL DE421 ephemeris with the Lahiri ayanamsa, over 2026-01-01 to 2027-12-31. Sunrise, sunset and the six windows derived from them are specific to this latitude and longitude.
