Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Mon 20 Jul 2026

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:33 here. Panchami ended at 06:13 Sun, before it. Shashthi ends at 06:00, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 14 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 19 Jul ran from sunset 18:13 Sun to sunrise 05:33, 11 h 20 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:33 to 18:13, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 35 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:13 to 05:34 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 25 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 2 at 163°20′. It leaves at 21:39, for Chitra.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 93° + 164.8° = 257.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 21:07, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava ended at 18:00 Sun, when the lead reached 66°; Taitila runs until 06:00.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:33 to 05:34 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 13 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 14 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 19 Mar 2026, 09:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 118.8° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2083; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1948.
