Understanding Tithi in Panchang
A Tithi is calculated by the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. Each lunar month consists of thirty Tithis divided into two phases, Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and Krishna Paksha (waning moon).
The main Tithis include Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, and culminate in Purnima or Amavasya.
What is Nakshatra?
Nakshatras represent 27 stellar constellations that influence daily astrological interpretations. Each Nakshatra is governed by planetary energies affecting decision-making and rituals.
The sequence includes Ashwini, Bharani, Krittika, Rohini, Mrigashira, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Chitra, Swati, Vishakha, Anuradha, Jyeshtha, Moola, Purvashada, Uttarashada, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhisha, Purvabhadrapada, Uttarabhadrapada, and Revati.
Yoga and Its Significance
Yoga is determined by the relative positions of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 Yogas, each carrying a specific astrological influence. On this day, Vishkumbha Yoga prevails until afternoon, followed by Preeti Yoga, generally considered favourable for harmony and relationship-related activities.
Karana
A Karana represents half of a Tithi. There are eleven types, including Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitil, Gar, Vanij, Vishti, Shakuni, Chatushpada, Nag, and Kistughna. Vishti Karana, also called Bhadra, is traditionally avoided for auspicious undertakings.
Special Yogas Around the Date
