Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 17 Jan 2025

The Sankashti fast is broken at moonrise. Chaturthi runs from 06:36 on Fri 17 Jan to 08:00 on Sat 18 Jan, so it holds moonrise only on Fri 17 Jan, at 20:41. No text giving Sankashti Chaturthi’s time was found; moonrise is Tithika’s convention.

Sankashti Chaturthi: every date in Codcod

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 204°–216° is the 18th, Krishna Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Dwitiya ended at 05:53 Thu, before it. Tritiya ends at 06:36, when the lead reaches 216°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Jan, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Tritiya began at 05:53 Thu, before sunrise at 06:09 Thu, and ends at 06:36, after the next sunrise at 06:09. Both days read Tritiya: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Thu 16 Jan ran from sunset 17:44 Thu to sunrise 06:09, 12 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:09 to 17:44, 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, 17:44 to 06:09 Sat, 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 126°40′. It leaves at 15:15, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 272.8° + 128.6° = 401.4°, one full turn and 41.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 40°00′–53°20′ is the 4th, Saubhagya. It ends at 03:26 Sat, then Shobhana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Vanija and the second Vishti. Vanija ended at 18:09 Thu, when the lead reached 210°; Vishti runs until 06:36.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:09 to 06:09 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, 29 Jan, 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 29 Jan, 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: 9 Apr 2024, 02:20 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 277.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2081; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1946.
