What changes at sunrise around 21 November 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 21 November 2026
In clock order through the day, with each length beside it. The three avoided windows come out at 80 minutes apiece because that is an eighth of this particular 10 h 37 m day — the arithmetic is in the next table.
| Window | Time (IST) | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma Muhurat | 05:12-06:48 | 96 min |
| Sunrise | 06:48 | an instant |
| Gulika Kaal | 06:48-08:07 | 79 min |
| Rahu Kaal | 09:27-10:47 | 80 min |
| Abhijit Muhurat | 11:45-12:28 | 43 min |
| Yamaghanta Kaal | 13:26-14:46 | 80 min |
| Sunset | 17:25 | an instant |
The eight parts of 21 November 2026
Sunrise 06:48 to sunset 17:25 is 637 minutes, so each eighth runs 79.6 minutes. Which three of the eight carry names depends on the weekday, and on Saturday they fall here. This day is 18 minutes longer than the shortest day in the table, and 201 minutes shorter than the longest, and every window above stretches or shrinks with it.
| Part | From | To | Named |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 06:48 | 08:08 | Gulika |
| 2 | 08:08 | 09:27 | — |
| 3 | 09:27 | 10:47 | Rahu Kaal |
| 4 | 10:47 | 12:07 | — |
| 5 | 12:07 | 13:26 | — |
| 6 | 13:26 | 14:46 | Yamaghanta |
| 7 | 14:46 | 16:05 | — |
| 8 | 16:05 | 17:25 | — |
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 21 November 2026 — all twelve rashis
One Moon, twelve answers: the house is the distance from your janma rashi to Pisces. 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 | 12 | Vyaya — expenditure, release and distant places | Avoided | 8 Dec |
| ♉︎Taurus | 11 | Labha — gain, income and networks | Favourable | 10 Dec |
| ♊︎Gemini | 10 | Karma — action, career and standing | Favourable | 13 Dec |
| ♋︎Cancer | 9 | Bhagya — fortune, dharma and long journeys | Middling | 15 Dec |
| ♌︎Leo | 8 | Randhra — upheaval, the hidden and longevity | Avoided | today |
| ♍︎Virgo | 7 | Kalatra — partnership, spouse and trade | Favourable | 22 Nov |
| ♎︎Libra | 6 | Shatru — competition, debt and disease | Favourable | 25 Nov |
| ♏︎Scorpio | 5 | Putra — children, learning and creativity | Middling | 27 Nov |
| ♐︎Sagittarius | 4 | Bandhu — home, mother and comfort | Avoided | 29 Nov |
| ♑︎Capricorn | 3 | Sahaja — effort, siblings and short journeys | Favourable | 1 Dec |
| ♒︎Aquarius | 2 | Dhana — wealth, speech and family | Middling | 3 Dec |
| ♓︎Pisces | 1 | Tanu — the body and the self | Favourable | 5 Dec |
Leo holds the window while the Moon is in Pisces — still there at sunrise on 21 November 2026, and in Aries by sunrise on 22 November 2026, when Pisces 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 21 November 2026
Counted from your janma nakshatra to Uttara Bhadrapada, 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 | Uttara Bhadrapada, Anuradha, Pushya |
| 2. Sampat | wealth; the strongest for anything undertaken for gain | Purva Bhadrapada, Vishakha, Punarvasu |
| 3. Vipat | danger and loss; not chosen for beginnings or travel | Shatabhisha, Swati, Ardra |
| 4. Kshema | well-being; for what needs to hold rather than to win | Dhanishta, Chitra, Mrigashira |
| 5. Pratyari | obstruction; avoided where another party must consent | Shravana, Hasta, Rohini |
| 6. Sadhaka | accomplishment; for finishing rather than starting | Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Phalguni, Krittika |
| 7. Vadha | harm; the heaviest of the three, rejected outright | Purva Ashadha, Purva Phalguni, Bharani |
| 8. Mitra | friendship; for dealings with people rather than things | Moola, Magha, Ashwini |
| 9. Ati-Mitra | close friendship, also Parama Mitra; the mildest of the nine | Jyeshtha, Ashlesha, Revati |
Uttara Bhadrapada is the sunrise nakshatra again on 18 December 2026, 14 January 2027, 10 February 2027 — 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 21 November 2026
What is the tithi on 21 November 2026?+
Shukla Dwadashi, in Shukla Paksha, at sunrise (06:48) in New Delhi. Shukla Dashami was the tithi at sunrise the previous day. By the next sunrise it is Shukla Trayodashi.
What is the Rahu Kaal on 21 November 2026 in New Delhi?+
09:27-10:47 — 80 minutes, which is one-eighth of this 10 h 37 m day. It is the 3rd of the eight equal parts between sunrise (06:48) and sunset (17:25), because that is the part Saturday takes. Yamaghanta is 13:26-14:46 and Gulika 06:48-08:07 on the same construction.
How long is the day on 21 November 2026, and how long is each part?+
Sunrise to sunset is 10 h 37 m in New Delhi, so each of the eight parts runs 79.6 minutes. That is 18 minutes longer than the shortest day in this two-year table (10 h 19 m on 17 December 2026), and 201 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 21 November 2026?+
Uttara Bhadrapada, at sunrise, with the Moon at 16.6° of Pisces. It is the sunrise nakshatra again on 18 December 2026, 14 January 2027, 10 February 2027. 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 21 November 2026?+
Leo (Simha) — the Moon is in Pisces, which is the eighth rashi from Leo. Exactly one rashi qualifies on any date. The Moon is still in Pisces at sunrise on 21 November 2026 and in Aries by sunrise on 22 November 2026, at which point Pisces takes over the window.
When is my next Chandrashtama after 21 November 2026?+
Counted forward from this date: Aries 8 December 2026; Taurus 10 December 2026; Gemini 13 December 2026; Cancer 15 December 2026; Leo 21 November 2026; Virgo 22 November 2026; Libra 25 November 2026; Scorpio 27 November 2026; Sagittarius 29 November 2026; Capricorn 1 December 2026; Aquarius 3 December 2026; Pisces 5 December 2026. Each rashi gets one window a lunar month, lasting two or three sunrises.
Is 21 November 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.
