In Hindu astrology, rāhukāla (Sanskrit: राहुकाल, lit. 'period of Rahu') or rāhukālam (Sanskrit: राहुकालम्, romanized: Rāhukālaṃ) is an inauspicious period of the day, [1] not considered favourable to start any good deed.

In traditional astrology, each triplicity has several planetary rulers, which change with conditions of sect – that is, whether the chart is a day chart or a night chart. Triplicity rulerships are an important essential dignity – one of the several factors used by traditional astrologers to weigh strength, effectiveness, and integrity of ...
