Panchang Summary — 18 August 2027
General information only — not personal advice.

On Wednesday, 18 August 2027, it is Dwitiya of Krishna Paksha, in the month of Bhadrapad. The day falls on a Budhavara, traditionally ruled by Mercury, with the Moon resting in Shatabhisha nakshatra. Dwitiya is considered an auspicious tithi, so it is a favorable day for new beginnings, ceremonies, or important decisions. Between 1:25 PM and 3:04 PM, Rahu Kaal is in effect; elders advise against starting anything new during this window. The most auspicious moment of the day is Abhijit Muhurta, from 12:59 PM to 1:51 PM — a good slot for anything important.
