Panchang in Codcod, Western Visayas, Philippines Wed 24 May 2045

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 84°–96° is the 8th, Shukla Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:24 here. Saptami ended at 09:39 Tue, before it. Ashtami ends at 07:41, when the lead reaches 96°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 17 May, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Tue 23 May ran from sunset 18:03 Tue 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 Thu, 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′. Purva Phalguni spans 133°20′–146°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 133°20′. It leaves at 04:15 Thu, for Uttara Phalguni.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 38.7° + 133.4° = 172.1°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 07:25, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 20:38 Tue, when the lead reached 90°; Bava runs until 07:41.

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

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 17 May 02:26 Wed to 15 Jun 11:04 Thu the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 12:12 Thu, 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 17 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: 19 Mar 2045, 01:14 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 64.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2102; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1967.
