Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Fri 30 Jan 1925

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, 07:23 here. Shashthi ended at 04:27, before it. Saptami ends at 05:06 Sat, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 24 Jan, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 29 Jan ran from sunset 16:41 Thu to sunrise 07:23, 14 h 42 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 58 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:23 to 16:43, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:43 to 07:21 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 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′. Ashwini spans 0°00′–13°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 0°. It leaves at 07:41 Sat, for Bharani.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 287.1° + 0.5° = 287.6°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 280°00′–293°20′ is the 22nd, Sadhya. It ends at 17:24, then Shubha.

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 runs until 16:41, when the lead reaches 78°; Vanija until 05:06 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:23 to 07:21 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 23 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 24 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: 4 Apr 1924, 08:17 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 295.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 1981; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1846.
