Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 19 Oct 2000

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 240°–252° is the 21st, Krishna Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:36 here. Panchami ended at 09:00 Wed, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:00, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 13 Oct, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 07:00 and ended at 04:59 Fri, between the sunrises of 05:36 and 05:36 Fri. Thursday reads Shashthi and Friday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 06:24, came after Shashthi ended at 04:30: this day reads Saptami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:36, came before Shashthi ended at 07:00: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 04:59 Fri, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

The night of Wed 18 Oct ran from sunset 17:28 Wed to sunrise 05:36, 12 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 48 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:36 to 17:27, 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, 17:27 to 05:36 Fri, 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′. Ardra spans 66°40′–80°00′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 70°. It leaves at 17:13, for Punarvasu.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 181.9° + 73.2° = 255.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 23:58, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 20:01 Wed, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 07:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:36 to 05:36 Fri, so the hours after midnight still belong to Guruwara.

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: Kanya gives Ashwina. The Sun enters Tula on 17 Oct, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Oct, finds it in Tula and begins Kartika.

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 27 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, begins Kartika. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Kartika here, and Ashwina in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 5 Apr 2000, 02:12 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 190.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2057; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1922.
