Understanding Choghadiya
Choghadiya (चौघड़िया) is a Vedic system used to pick auspicious windows for daily activities — travel, meetings, purchases, ceremonies. The day from sunrise to sunset is split into 8 equal parts and the night from sunset to next sunrise into 8 more. Each window is ruled by a planet and carries a fixed nature.
- Amrit (Moon) — most auspicious; ideal for any new beginning.
- Shubh (Jupiter) — favorable for ceremonies and learning.
- Labh (Mercury) — gains, business, financial activities.
- Char (Venus) — neutral; good for travel and short tasks.
- Udveg (Sun) — restlessness; avoid important work.
- Kaal (Saturn) — avoid new ventures.
- Rog (Mars) — illness/conflict; avoid health & legal matters.
