Choghadiya Today — Sugar Land
Monday, October 12, 2026 · Sugar Land, Texas · UTC−5
Sunrise
7:24 AM
Sunset
6:55 PM
Each day slot
86 min
Computed from Sugar Land'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 86 minutes rather than a flat 90.

Which choghadiya opens each day in Sugar Land

When Sugar Land's clocks change
Sugar Land moves from UTC−5 to UTC−6 on November 1, 2026. The choghadiya follow the Sun, not the clock, so every slot keeps its place in the day while its clock time jumps: on November 1, 2026 sunrise, where the first day choghadiya begins, reads 6:37 AM on the new clock and would have read 7:37 AM on the old one.
Why Sugar Land needs its own table
Summer against winter
In Sugar Land a day choghadiya runs 105 min at the June solstice and 76 min at the December one, because the day arc itself changes length. Night runs the other way: 75 min against 104 min. Any table quoting a fixed 90 is wrong in both seasons.
Against the nearest city
Houston is only 19 miles from Sugar Land, and its sunrise today is 7:23 AM against Sugar Land's 7:24 AM. Every one of the sixteen slots shifts with it, which is why this is computed per city rather than per region.
Over the year, Sugar Land's solar arc moves enough to swing an eighth of the day by 28 minutes end to end.
Frequently asked
What is the shubh choghadiya today in Sugar Land?
Today's auspicious day slots in Sugar Land are Amrit (7:24 AM–8:50 AM), Shubh (10:16 AM–11:43 AM), Labh (4:02 PM–5:29 PM), Amrit (5:29 PM–6:55 PM). Amrit is the strongest, then Shubh, then Labh.
Is a choghadiya always 90 minutes?
No. A choghadiya is one-eighth of the day arc, so it stretches and shrinks with sunrise and sunset. In Sugar Land today the day slots run 86 minutes each and the night slots 94.
Which choghadiya should I avoid?
Rog, Kaal and Udveg. In Sugar Land today they fall at Kaal 8:50 AM–10:16 AM, Rog 11:43 AM–1:09 PM, Udveg 1:09 PM–2:36 PM. Char is neutral and is the traditional slot for travel. Udveg is ruled by the Sun and is a separate thing from Rahu Kaal, which is ruled by Rahu.
Why does night choghadiya not repeat the day sequence?
Because it begins five positions further into the same cycle, and runs from sunset to the following sunrise rather than for a fixed twelve hours. Tonight in Sugar Land it opens with Char at 6:55 PM.
Choghadiya in other cities
Sugar Land shares this. Your chart does not.
These windows come from the Sun and the weekday, so a whole city shares them. Whether a period is actually good for you depends on your own running dasha and the transits over your chart.
