Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Thu 22 Jan 2037

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 48°–60° is the 5th, Shukla Panchami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:10 here. Chaturthi ended at 03:48 Wed, before it. Panchami ends at 06:23, when the lead reaches 60°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Panchami began at 03:48 Wed, before sunrise at 06:10 Wed, and ends at 06:23, after the next sunrise at 06:10. Both days read Panchami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Wed 21 Jan ran from sunset 17:46 Wed to sunrise 06:10, 12 h 24 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 49 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:10 to 17:47, 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 night here, 17:47 to 06:10 Fri, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 00:03 Fri, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 277.8° + 337.7° = 615.5°, one full turn and 255.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 253°20′–266°40′ is the 20th, Shiva. It ends at 02:37 Fri, then Siddha.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Panchami is Bava and the second Balava. Bava ended at 17:07 Wed, when the lead reached 54°; Balava runs until 06:23.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:10 to 06:10 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: Makara gives Magha. The Sun enters Kumbha on 13 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 15 Feb, finds it in Kumbha and begins Phalguna.

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 16 Jan, with the Sun in Makara, began Magha. This Shukla paksha reads Magha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 28 Mar 2036, 04:56 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 294.4° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2093; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1958.
