Below are the important Muhurat details for January 06, 2025, for New York City, USA:
Sunrise and Sunset:
On January 6, 2025, the Sun rises at 7:20 AM and sets at 4:44 PM. The day starts with a golden hue, symbolising new beginnings and hope. The long summer days provide a good opportunity to implement certain strategies and start preparations for future endeavours.
Moonrise and Moonset:
The Moon rises at 11:14 AM and sets at 12:33 AM (Jan 7). The later moonset brings emotionality into the night, which helps to think and build relationships. This is a good time to do those things that demand concentration and time, such as reading, writing, drawing, knitting, gardening, etc.
Tithi (Lunar Day):
Shukla Saptami continues until 7:53 AM, entering into Shukla Ashtami until 05:56 AM (Jan 07). Ashtami has strength and disciplinary force associated with it. It is an active day for tackling problems or moving towards long-held goals. Businesses started today are likely to have long-term impacts.
Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion):
Uttara Bhadrapada governs the day until 8:36 AM, leading into Revati. Uttara Bhadrapada influences determination and steadiness, and Revati influences compassion and creativity. This combination helps balance the active problem-solving approach and the ability to remain sensitive to people’s needs and emotions.
Moonsign (Rashi):
The Moon resides in Meena (Pisces) until 7:20 AM and then in Mesha (Aries). This transition from passion to movement creates optimism and determination, ideal for starting new projects or approaching new tasks with passion.
Auspicious Timings on 6th January 2025
Brahma Muhurta (05:23 AM to 06:22 AM):
The early hours are favourable and filled with the power of spirituality. Spend this time praying, meditating, or picturing your future and what it holds for you. It is a time to plant seeds of happiness and harmony and to connect with higher vibrations.
Vijaya Muhurta (01:36 PM to 02:14 PM):
Vijaya Muhurta is a golden opportunity to attain victory and success. It is the right time to make strategic decisions, submit proposals, and start new projects. Actions taken during this period are expected to be rewarded with good results.
Inauspicious Timings and Considerations
Rahu Kalam (08:31 AM to 09:41 AM):
Rahu Kalam occurs in the afternoon, and as such, it is recommended that one avoid starting new activities during this time. However, the best strategy is to concentrate on continuous processes or finish regular tasks. Do not plan important meetings or significant purchases during this hour.
Recommendations for the Day
January 6 is an emotionally perceptive day with moments of energy, which makes it a versatile day for work and self-improvement. The shift from Pisces to Aries brings more courage and ambition into the day and makes you take action step by step.
The morning is most effective for meditating or strategising, while the afternoon is most effective for actually doing something. Participate in activities that demand initiative and confidence, like starting a project, presenting ideas, or dealing with outstanding matters. Aries’ sign makes you daring—go ahead, be assertive and confident, and go ahead with your gut feelings.
On the interpersonal level, this day helps to reignite a relationship or to be honest with one’s feelings. Engage in social events or one-to-one talk, as the Moon energy is about clarity and sharing your true feelings. This is the best time to close gaps and improve relations with family and friends.
Spiritual Significance of the Day
When Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati are combined, there is spiritual growth and emotional renewal. It is a tradition to light a candle or diya during sunset to respect the transition from thinking to doing. Read out loud or say aloud prayers or affirmations to do with strength and endurance. This day represents the contrast of life: quietude and determination. Take this harmony with you as you proceed towards the next week with faith and determination.
