Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Thu 12 Feb 1981

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 96°–108° is the 9th, Shukla Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:03 here. Ashtami ended at 05:48, before it. Navami ends at 03:59 Fri, when the lead reaches 108°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 4 Feb, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Wed 11 Feb ran from sunset 17:03 Wed to sunrise 07:03, 14 h 0 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 56 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:03 to 17:05, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 15 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 17:05 to 07:01 Fri, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 44 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′. Krittika spans 26°40′–40°00′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 33°20′. It leaves at 12:58, for Rohini.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 299.9° + 36.5° = 336.4°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 333°20′–346°40′ is the 26th, Indra. It ends at 23:28, then Vaidhriti.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:52, when the lead reaches 102°; Kaulava until 03:59 Fri.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:03 to 07:01 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 12 Feb, inside the month. The next new moon, 6 Mar, 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 4 Feb, 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: 16 Mar 1980, 19:55 Sun. Since then the Sun has moved 327.1° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2037; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1902.
