Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Fri 22 May 2037

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 72°–84° is the 7th, Shukla Saptami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:24 here. Shashthi ended at 08:05 Thu, before it. Saptami ends at 06:10, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 15 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 06:10 and ended at 04:03 Sat, between the sunrises of 05:24 and 05:24 Sat. Friday reads Saptami and Saturday reads Navami: Ashtami is a kshaya tithi here.

Sunrise here, 05:26, came after Saptami ended at 03:40: this day reads Ashtami.

Codcod · UTC+8

Sunrise here, 05:24, came before Saptami ended at 06:10: this day reads Saptami. Ashtami ends at 04:03 Sat, before the next sunrise, so no day here reads Ashtami: it is kshaya.

The night of Thu 21 May ran from sunset 18:03 Thu to sunrise 05:24, 11 h 21 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 45 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:24 to 18:03, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 34 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 18:03 to 05:24 Sat, 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′. Magha spans 120°00′–133°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 120°. It leaves at 03:27 Sat, for Purva Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 36.8° + 120.4° = 157.2°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 146°40′–160°00′ is the 12th, Dhruva. It ends at 09:58, then Vyaghata.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Saptami is Garaja and the second Vanija. Garaja ended at 19:09 Thu, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 06:10.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:24 to 05:24 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 13:54 Fri to 14 Jun 01:10 Sun the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 11:02 Mon, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 15 May, with the Sun in Vrishabha, began Jyeshtha (Adhik). This Shukla paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2037, 07:36 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 64.5° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2094; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1959.
