Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 15 Jan 2032

The Sun enters Makara at 06:24, between sunrise (06:09) and sunset (17:43). The Dharmasindhu’s punya kala is the 40 ghatis after the ingress, so the bath and gifts fall that day: Thu 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: 24°–36° is the 3rd, Shukla Tritiya. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:09 here. Dwitiya ended at 20:26 Wed, before it. Tritiya ends at 16:54, when the lead reaches 36°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 13 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 14 Jan ran from sunset 17:43 Wed 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 Fri, 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 296°40′. It leaves at 17:15, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 270° + 299.7° = 569.7°, one full turn and 209.7°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 200°00′–213°20′ is the 16th, Siddhi. It ends at 11:34, then Vyatipata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Tritiya is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila runs until 06:37, when the lead reaches 30°; Garaja until 16:54.

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

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, 11 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 13 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: 23 Mar 2031, 11:49 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 292° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2088; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1953.
