Find the gold window
The day's best time to begin something that matters. Sunday it's 10:23 AM — 11:42 AM.

BEYOND TODAY
Need something more personal?
Daily timing is the same for everyone in Toronto. Your chart, your situation and your family's practice are not.
Timings are calculated for Toronto (America/Toronto) using the Lahiri ayanamsa and the amanta calendar. Regional traditions may observe some dates differently — for a muhurta that matters, ask a practitioner to confirm it for you.
