What changes at sunrise around 9 January 2027
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 9 January 2027
In clock order through the day, with each length beside it. The three avoided windows come out at 78 minutes apiece because that is an eighth of this particular 10 h 26 m day — the arithmetic is in the next table.
| Window | Time (IST) | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma Muhurat | 05:39-07:15 | 96 min |
| Sunrise | 07:15 | an instant |
| Gulika Kaal | 07:15-08:33 | 78 min |
| Rahu Kaal | 09:51-11:09 | 78 min |
| Abhijit Muhurat | 12:07-12:49 | 42 min |
| Yamaghanta Kaal | 13:46-15:04 | 78 min |
| Sunset | 17:41 | an instant |
The eight parts of 9 January 2027
Sunrise 07:15 to sunset 17:41 is 626 minutes, so each eighth runs 78.3 minutes. Which three of the eight carry names depends on the weekday, and on Saturday they fall here. This day is 7 minutes longer than the shortest day in the table, and 212 minutes shorter than the longest, and every window above stretches or shrinks with it.
| Part | From | To | Named |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 07:15 | 08:33 | Gulika |
| 2 | 08:33 | 09:52 | — |
| 3 | 09:52 | 11:10 | Rahu Kaal |
| 4 | 11:10 | 12:28 | — |
| 5 | 12:28 | 13:46 | — |
| 6 | 13:46 | 15:05 | Yamaghanta |
| 7 | 15:05 | 16:23 | — |
| 8 | 16:23 | 17:41 | — |
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 9 January 2027 — all twelve rashis
One Moon, twelve answers: the house is the distance from your janma rashi to Capricorn. 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 | 10 | Karma — action, career and standing | Favourable | 31 Jan |
| ♉︎Taurus | 9 | Bhagya — fortune, dharma and long journeys | Middling | 3 Feb |
| ♊︎Gemini | 8 | Randhra — upheaval, the hidden and longevity | Avoided | today |
| ♋︎Cancer | 7 | Kalatra — partnership, spouse and trade | Favourable | 11 Jan |
| ♌︎Leo | 6 | Shatru — competition, debt and disease | Favourable | 14 Jan |
| ♍︎Virgo | 5 | Putra — children, learning and creativity | Middling | 16 Jan |
| ♎︎Libra | 4 | Bandhu — home, mother and comfort | Avoided | 18 Jan |
| ♏︎Scorpio | 3 | Sahaja — effort, siblings and short journeys | Favourable | 20 Jan |
| ♐︎Sagittarius | 2 | Dhana — wealth, speech and family | Middling | 22 Jan |
| ♑︎Capricorn | 1 | Tanu — the body and the self | Favourable | 24 Jan |
| ♒︎Aquarius | 12 | Vyaya — expenditure, release and distant places | Avoided | 26 Jan |
| ♓︎Pisces | 11 | Labha — gain, income and networks | Favourable | 29 Jan |
Gemini holds the window while the Moon is in Capricorn — still there at sunrise on 10 January 2027, and in Aquarius by sunrise on 11 January 2027, when Capricorn 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 9 January 2027
Counted from your janma nakshatra to Uttara Ashadha, 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 Ashadha, Uttara Phalguni, Krittika |
| 2. Sampat | wealth; the strongest for anything undertaken for gain | Purva Ashadha, Purva Phalguni, Bharani |
| 3. Vipat | danger and loss; not chosen for beginnings or travel | Moola, Magha, Ashwini |
| 4. Kshema | well-being; for what needs to hold rather than to win | Jyeshtha, Ashlesha, Revati |
| 5. Pratyari | obstruction; avoided where another party must consent | Anuradha, Pushya, Uttara Bhadrapada |
| 6. Sadhaka | accomplishment; for finishing rather than starting | Vishakha, Punarvasu, Purva Bhadrapada |
| 7. Vadha | harm; the heaviest of the three, rejected outright | Swati, Ardra, Shatabhisha |
| 8. Mitra | friendship; for dealings with people rather than things | Chitra, Mrigashira, Dhanishta |
| 9. Ati-Mitra | close friendship, also Parama Mitra; the mildest of the nine | Hasta, Rohini, Shravana |
Uttara Ashadha is the sunrise nakshatra again on 5 February 2027, 4 March 2027, 1 April 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 9 January 2027
What is the tithi on 9 January 2027?+
Shukla Dwitiya, in Shukla Paksha, at sunrise (07:15) in New Delhi. Shukla Pratipada was the tithi at sunrise the previous day. By the next sunrise it is Shukla Tritiya.
What is the Rahu Kaal on 9 January 2027 in New Delhi?+
09:51-11:09 — 78 minutes, which is one-eighth of this 10 h 26 m day. It is the 3rd of the eight equal parts between sunrise (07:15) and sunset (17:41), because that is the part Saturday takes. Yamaghanta is 13:46-15:04 and Gulika 07:15-08:33 on the same construction.
How long is the day on 9 January 2027, and how long is each part?+
Sunrise to sunset is 10 h 26 m in New Delhi, so each of the eight parts runs 78.3 minutes. That is 7 minutes longer than the shortest day in this two-year table (10 h 19 m on 17 December 2026), and 212 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 9 January 2027?+
Uttara Ashadha, at sunrise, with the Moon at 7.5° of Capricorn. It is the sunrise nakshatra again on 5 February 2027, 4 March 2027, 1 April 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 9 January 2027?+
Gemini (Mithuna) — the Moon is in Capricorn, which is the eighth rashi from Gemini. Exactly one rashi qualifies on any date. The Moon is still in Capricorn at sunrise on 10 January 2027 and in Aquarius by sunrise on 11 January 2027, at which point Capricorn takes over the window.
When is my next Chandrashtama after 9 January 2027?+
Counted forward from this date: Aries 31 January 2027; Taurus 3 February 2027; Gemini 9 January 2027; Cancer 11 January 2027; Leo 14 January 2027; Virgo 16 January 2027; Libra 18 January 2027; Scorpio 20 January 2027; Sagittarius 22 January 2027; Capricorn 24 January 2027; Aquarius 26 January 2027; Pisces 29 January 2027. Each rashi gets one window a lunar month, lasting two or three sunrises.
Is 9 January 2027 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.
