Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Tue 30 Oct 1979

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Ashtami ended at 08:13 Mon, before it. Navami ends at 06:11, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dashami began at 06:11 and ended at 03:50 Wed, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:37 Wed. Tuesday reads Navami and Wednesday reads Ekadashi: Dashami is a kshaya tithi here.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise.

Sunrise here, 06:31, came after Navami ended at 03:41: this day reads Dashami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:37, came before Navami ended at 06:11: this day reads Navami. Dashami ends at 03:50 Wed, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dashami: it is kshaya.

The night of Mon 29 Oct ran from sunset 17:24 Mon to sunrise 05:37, 12 h 13 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 17:24, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 28 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:24 to 05:37 Wed, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 31 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 16:52, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 192.3° + 299.9° = 492.2°, one full turn and 132.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 07:17, then Vriddhi.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava ended at 19:15 Mon, when the lead reached 102°; Kaulava runs until 06:11.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:37 Wed, so the hours after midnight still belong to Mangalawara.

An amanta month runs from new moon to new moon and takes its name from the rashi the Sun is in at the new moon that begins it: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 20 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

A purnimanta month runs from full moon to full moon, so its waning half comes first. It shares its name with the amanta month that its second half falls in: the new moon of 21 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 1979, 10:59 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 209° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2036; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1901.
