Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 24 Jan 2003

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, 06:10 here. Panchami ended at 09:48 Thu, before it. Shashthi ends at 07:39, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 18 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 07:39 and ended at 05:33 Sat, between the sunrises of 06:10 and 06:10 Sat. Friday reads Shashthi and Saturday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 07:13, came after Shashthi ended at 05:09: this day reads Saptami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 06:10, came before Shashthi ended at 07:39: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 05:33 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 23 Jan ran from sunset 17:47 Thu to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 17:47, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 27 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:47 to 06:10 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 32 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′. Hasta spans 160°00′–173°20′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 170°. It leaves at 10:29, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 279.6° + 170.8° = 450.4°, one full turn and 90.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 80°00′–93°20′ is the 7th, Sukarma. It ends at 10:50, then Dhriti.

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 20:43 Thu, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 07:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:10 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Dhanu gives Pausha. The Sun enters Makara on 14 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 1 Feb, finds it in Makara and begins Magha.

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 1 Feb, with the Sun in Makara, begins Magha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Magha here, and Pausha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 13 Apr 2002, 03:21 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 280.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2059; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1924.
