Other cities
These windows are derived from local sunrise, so they differ by city. A time computed for Delhi is wrong in Chennai by a meaningful margin.

How this is calculated
Everything above comes from the same computation behind today's full Panchang, using Swiss Ephemeris positions and your city's actual coordinates rather than a national average.
For what these periods mean and how they are traditionally used — including their limits — read the Choghadiya guide. For choosing a time deliberately, see how muhurta is actually chosen.
The slow transits work on a different scale entirely — Saturn and Jupiter change sign in years rather than in hours. Shani Gochar, Guru Gochar, Rahu Ketu Gochar, Sade Sati, Mercury retrograde.
Timing guidance here is a framework for planning, not medical, legal or financial advice. Never delay medical care for a timing window.
