Choghadiya Today — Stuttgart

Thursday, 2026-08-20 · Stuttgart, Germany · UTC+2

Sunrise

06:25

Sunset

20:29

Each day slot

106 min

Computed from Stuttgart's own sunrise and sunset with the Swiss Ephemeris — not a national table with the city name changed. That is why the slot length above is 106 minutes rather than a flat 90.

Why Stuttgart needs its own table

Summer against winter

In Stuttgart a day choghadiya runs 121 min at the June solstice and 61 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 59 min against 119 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.

Against the nearest city

Frankfurt is only 153 km from Stuttgart, and its sunrise today is 06:24 against Stuttgart's 06:25. Every one of the sixteen slots below shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.

Over the year, Stuttgart's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 60 minutes end to end.

Frequently asked

What is the shubh choghadiya today in Stuttgart?

Today's auspicious day slots in Stuttgart are Shubh (06:25–08:10), Labh (13:27–15:13), Amrit (15:13–16:58), Shubh (18:44–20:29). Amrit is the strongest, then Shubh, then Labh.

Is a choghadiya always 90 minutes?

No, and this is where most printed tables go wrong. A choghadiya is one-eighth of the day arc, so it stretches and shrinks with sunrise and sunset. In Stuttgart today the day slots run 106 minutes each and the night slots 75 minutes. Only at the equinox, at the equator, would both be 90.

Which choghadiya should I avoid?

Rog, Kaal and Udveg. Rog is associated with illness and conflict, Kaal with loss, Udveg with anxiety and obstruction. Char is neutral and is the traditional slot for travel. Note that Udveg is ruled by the Sun and is a separate thing from Rahu Kaal, which is ruled by Rahu — they often overlap but are not the same window.

Why does night choghadiya not repeat the day sequence?

Because it begins five positions further into the same cycle, and it runs from sunset to the following sunrise rather than for a fixed twelve hours. Tables that simply repeat the day order are wrong for both reasons.

Choghadiya in other cities

Choghadiya is the same for everyone in Stuttgart. Your chart is not.

These sixteen slots come from the Sun alone, so the whole city shares them. The timing that is actually yours comes from your own dasha and transits — which is a different calculation, and it needs your birth details.
