Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Sun 15 Mar 2020

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, 05:54 here. Panchami ended at 08:47 Sat, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:55, when the lead reaches 252°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Mar, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Saptami began at 06:55 and ended at 05:49 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:54 and 05:53 Mon. Sunday reads Shashthi and Monday reads Ashtami: Saptami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 06:30, came after Shashthi ended at 04:25: this day reads Saptami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:54, came before Shashthi ended at 06:55: this day reads Shashthi. Saptami ends at 05:49 Mon, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Saptami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sat 14 Mar ran from sunset 17:58 Sat to sunrise 05:54, 11 h 56 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 47 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:54 to 17:58, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 30 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:58 to 05:53 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 29 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′. Anuradha spans 213°20′–226°40′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 220°. It leaves at 13:53, for Jyeshtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 330.6° + 222.1° = 552.7°, one full turn and 192.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 186°40′–200°00′ is the 15th, Vajra. It ends at 17:45, then Siddhi.

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 19:46 Sat, when the lead reached 246°; Vanija runs until 06:55.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:54 to 05:53 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Kumbha gives Phalguna. The Sun enters Meena on 14 Mar, inside the month. The next new moon, 24 Mar, finds it in Meena and begins Chaitra.

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 24 Mar, with the Sun in Meena, begins Chaitra. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Chaitra here, and Phalguna in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 5 Apr 2019, 16:50 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 339.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2076; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1941.
