Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 15 Jan 2024

The Sun enters Makara at 05:13, in the night after sunset (17:43 Sun). The Dharmasindhu then puts the punya kala on the next day: Mon 15 Jan.

Makar Sankranti: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 36°–48° is the 4th, Shukla Chaturthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Tritiya ended at 10:30 Sun, before it. Chaturthi ends at 07:29, when the lead reaches 48°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 11 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 07:29 and ended at 04:47 Tue, between the sunrises of 06:09 and 06:09 Tue. Monday reads Chaturthi and Tuesday reads Shashthi: Panchami is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 06:09, came before Chaturthi ended at 07:29: this day reads Chaturthi. Panchami ends at 04:47 Tue, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Panchami: it is kshaya.

The night of Sun 14 Jan ran from sunset 17:43 Sun to sunrise 06:09, 12 h 26 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 17:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 26 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:43 to 06:09 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 33 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′. Shatabhisha spans 306°40′–320°00′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 316°40′. It leaves at 10:36, for Purva Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 270° + 317.3° = 587.3°, one full turn and 227.3°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 226°40′–240°00′ is the 18th, Variyana. It ends at 01:40 Tue, then Parigha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Chaturthi is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 20:58 Sun, when the lead reached 42°; Vishti runs until 07:29.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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 15 Jan, inside the month. The next new moon, 10 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 11 Jan, with the Sun in Dhanu, began Pausha. This Shukla paksha reads Pausha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2023, 01:23 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 293.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2080; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1945.
