Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 30 Aug 2030

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 0°–12° is the 1st, Shukla Pratipada. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:37 here. Amavasya ended at 07:07 Thu, before it. Pratipada ends at 06:07, when the lead reaches 12°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 29 Aug, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Dwitiya began at 06:07 and ended at 04:43 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:37 and 05:37 Sat. Friday reads Pratipada and Saturday reads Tritiya: Dwitiya is a kshaya tithi here.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:37, came before Pratipada ended at 06:07: this day reads Pratipada. Dwitiya ends at 04:43 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Dwitiya: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 29 Aug ran from sunset 17:58 Thu to sunrise 05:37, 11 h 39 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 46 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:37 to 17:57, 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 night here, 17:57 to 05:37 Sat, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 4 at 143°20′. It leaves at 10:14, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 132.3° + 144° = 276.3°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 11:37, then Sadhya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Pratipada is Kinstughna and the second Bava. Kinstughna ended at 18:40 Thu, when the lead reached 6°; Bava runs until 06:07.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:37 to 05:37 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: Simha gives Bhadrapada. The Sun enters Kanya on 17 Sep, inside the month. The next new moon, 27 Sep, finds it in Kanya and begins Ashwina.

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 Aug, with the Sun in Simha, began Bhadrapada. This Shukla paksha reads Bhadrapada in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 3 Apr 2030, 06:02 Wed. Since then the Sun has moved 143.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2087; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1952.
