Panchang in Ipameri, Goiás, Brazil Wed 8 Jun 1988

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 06:38 here. Ashtami ended at 14:20 Tue, before it. Navami ends at 12:26, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 31 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Tue 7 Jun ran from sunset 17:44 Tue to sunrise 06:38, 12 h 54 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 51 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:38 to 17:44, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 23 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:44 to 06:39 Thu, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 36 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 19:54, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 54.1° + 339° = 393.1°, one full turn and 33.1°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 26°40′–40°00′ is the 3rd, Ayushmana. It ends at 17:47, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 01:22, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 12:26.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:38 to 06:39 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 15 May 19:10 Sun to 14 Jun 06:13 Tue the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 14 Jun 10:30 Tue, 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 14 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 1988, 23:02 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 80.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2045; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1910.
