What changes at sunrise around 23 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 23 January 2027
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 39 m day — the arithmetic is in the next table.
| Window | Time (IST) | Length |
|---|---|---|
| Brahma Muhurat | 05:37-07:13 | 96 min |
| Sunrise | 07:13 | an instant |
| Gulika Kaal | 07:13-08:33 | 80 min |
| Rahu Kaal | 09:53-11:13 | 80 min |
| Abhijit Muhurat | 12:11-12:54 | 43 min |
| Yamaghanta Kaal | 13:52-15:12 | 80 min |
| Sunset | 17:52 | an instant |
The eight parts of 23 January 2027
Sunrise 07:13 to sunset 17:52 is 639 minutes, so each eighth runs 79.9 minutes. Which three of the eight carry names depends on the weekday, and on Saturday they fall here. This day is 20 minutes longer than the shortest day in the table, and 199 minutes shorter than the longest, and every window above stretches or shrinks with it.
| Part | From | To | Named |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 07:13 | 08:33 | Gulika |
| 2 | 08:33 | 09:53 | — |
| 3 | 09:53 | 11:13 | Rahu Kaal |
| 4 | 11:13 | 12:33 | — |
| 5 | 12:33 | 13:52 | — |
| 6 | 13:52 | 15:12 | Yamaghanta |
| 7 | 15:12 | 16:32 | — |
| 8 | 16:32 | 17:52 | — |
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 23 January 2027 — all twelve rashis
One Moon, twelve answers: the house is the distance from your janma rashi to Cancer. 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 | 4 | Bandhu — home, mother and comfort | Avoided | 31 Jan |
| ♉︎Taurus | 3 | Sahaja — effort, siblings and short journeys | Favourable | 3 Feb |
| ♊︎Gemini | 2 | Dhana — wealth, speech and family | Middling | 5 Feb |
| ♋︎Cancer | 1 | Tanu — the body and the self | Favourable | 8 Feb |
| ♌︎Leo | 12 | Vyaya — expenditure, release and distant places | Avoided | 10 Feb |
| ♍︎Virgo | 11 | Labha — gain, income and networks | Favourable | 12 Feb |
| ♎︎Libra | 10 | Karma — action, career and standing | Favourable | 15 Feb |
| ♏︎Scorpio | 9 | Bhagya — fortune, dharma and long journeys | Middling | 17 Feb |
| ♐︎Sagittarius | 8 | Randhra — upheaval, the hidden and longevity | Avoided | today |
| ♑︎Capricorn | 7 | Kalatra — partnership, spouse and trade | Favourable | 24 Jan |
| ♒︎Aquarius | 6 | Shatru — competition, debt and disease | Favourable | 26 Jan |
| ♓︎Pisces | 5 | Putra — children, learning and creativity | Middling | 29 Jan |
Sagittarius holds the window while the Moon is in Cancer — still there at sunrise on 23 January 2027, and in Leo by sunrise on 24 January 2027, when Cancer 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 23 January 2027
Counted from your janma nakshatra to Pushya, 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 | Pushya, Uttara Bhadrapada, Anuradha |
| 2. Sampat | wealth; the strongest for anything undertaken for gain | Punarvasu, Purva Bhadrapada, Vishakha |
| 3. Vipat | danger and loss; not chosen for beginnings or travel | Ardra, Shatabhisha, Swati |
| 4. Kshema | well-being; for what needs to hold rather than to win | Mrigashira, Dhanishta, Chitra |
| 5. Pratyari | obstruction; avoided where another party must consent | Rohini, Shravana, Hasta |
| 6. Sadhaka | accomplishment; for finishing rather than starting | Krittika, Uttara Ashadha, Uttara Phalguni |
| 7. Vadha | harm; the heaviest of the three, rejected outright | Bharani, Purva Ashadha, Purva Phalguni |
| 8. Mitra | friendship; for dealings with people rather than things | Ashwini, Moola, Magha |
| 9. Ati-Mitra | close friendship, also Parama Mitra; the mildest of the nine | Revati, Jyeshtha, Ashlesha |
Pushya is the sunrise nakshatra again on 19 February 2027, 18 March 2027, 15 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 23 January 2027
What is the tithi on 23 January 2027?+
Krishna Pratipada, in Krishna Paksha, at sunrise (07:13) in New Delhi. Purnima was the tithi at sunrise the previous day. By the next sunrise it is Krishna Dwitiya.
What is the Rahu Kaal on 23 January 2027 in New Delhi?+
09:53-11:13 — 80 minutes, which is one-eighth of this 10 h 39 m day. It is the 3rd of the eight equal parts between sunrise (07:13) and sunset (17:52), because that is the part Saturday takes. Yamaghanta is 13:52-15:12 and Gulika 07:13-08:33 on the same construction.
How long is the day on 23 January 2027, and how long is each part?+
Sunrise to sunset is 10 h 39 m in New Delhi, so each of the eight parts runs 79.9 minutes. That is 20 minutes longer than the shortest day in this two-year table (10 h 19 m on 17 December 2026), and 199 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 23 January 2027?+
Pushya, at sunrise, with the Moon at 16.5° of Cancer. It is the sunrise nakshatra again on 19 February 2027, 18 March 2027, 15 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 23 January 2027?+
Sagittarius (Dhanu) — the Moon is in Cancer, which is the eighth rashi from Sagittarius. Exactly one rashi qualifies on any date. The Moon is still in Cancer at sunrise on 23 January 2027 and in Leo by sunrise on 24 January 2027, at which point Cancer takes over the window.
When is my next Chandrashtama after 23 January 2027?+
Counted forward from this date: Aries 31 January 2027; Taurus 3 February 2027; Gemini 5 February 2027; Cancer 8 February 2027; Leo 10 February 2027; Virgo 12 February 2027; Libra 15 February 2027; Scorpio 17 February 2027; Sagittarius 23 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 23 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.
