💑 Chicago, Illinois
Whether the bride and groom both grew up in Chicago or one was born overseas, Gun Milan only needs each person's birth date, time and birthplace. Zodastro does the calculation, explains every koota and gives a clear recommendation you can share with family.

Gun Milan depends mostly on the Moon's Nakshatra at each person's birth, which is fixed by the birth time in the birthplace's own time zone. If one partner was born in Chicago (Central Daylight Time, UTC−5) and the other in India, enter each birthplace separately and Zodastro converts both correctly.
| Day (Vara) | Shukravar (Friday) |
|---|---|
| Tithi at sunrise | Krishna Panchami until Fri 30 Oct, 8:55 AM |
| Nakshatra | Ardra (pada 2) until Fri 30 Oct, 8:41 PM |
| Sunrise / Sunset | 7:20 AM / 5:47 PM |
| Rahu Kaal (avoid) | 11:15 AM – 12:34 PM |
| Abhijit Muhurat (good) | 12:13 PM – 12:55 PM |
All times are Chicago local time (Central Daylight Time, UTC−5). Calculated from Chicago's own sunrise with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Start and end times are in Chicago time. A vrat is usually kept on the day the Tithi is running at sunrise; your family or temple tradition may differ.
Daylight in Chicago today lasts 10 h 27 min. Over the year it ranges from about 9 h 8 min to 15 h 14 min, so Rahu Kaal here is anywhere from 68 to 114 minutes long, and every daytime Muhurat stretches and shrinks with the seasons.
Sunrise in Chicago today is 7:20 AM, 35 minutes earlier on the clock than in Atlanta (948 km away). Even nearby cities need their own Panchang.
On 30 October the sunrise Tithi in Chicago is Krishna Panchami; in Delhi it is Krishna Panchami. They match today, but on many days they do not, especially around Ekadashi and Purnima, so check before a vrat.
Chicago is on Central Daylight Time (UTC−5), 10 h 30 min behind India.
Chicago uses daylight saving time, so the gap to India changes during the year:
If you were born in Chicago, enter your birth time exactly as it is written on your birth certificate. That is the local clock time, already including summer time if it applied, and the birthplace tells the calculation which time zone to use.
Chicago's Devon Avenue has been the heart of Indian life in the Midwest for decades, and the Sri Venkateswara Swami (Balaji) Temple in Aurora is one of the region's main temples. Central Time is 10 h 30 min to 11 h 30 min behind India, so festival dates often fall a day earlier than the Indian calendar suggests.
