Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Sat 21 Jun 2003

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 264°–276° is the 23rd, Krishna Ashtami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 04:46 here. Saptami ended at 04:02, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:36 Sun, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 14 Jun, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Ashtami began at 04:02, before sunrise at 04:46, and ends at 05:36 Sun, after the next sunrise at 04:46 Sun. Both days read Ashtami: it is a vriddhi tithi here.

The night of Fri 20 Jun ran from sunset 20:56 Fri to sunrise 04:46, 7 h 50 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 31 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 04:46 to 20:56, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 2 h 1 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:56 to 04:46 Sun, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 58 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 Bhadrapada spans 320°00′–333°20′; the Moon entered its pada 3 at 326°40′. It leaves at 11:40, for Uttara Bhadrapada.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 65.4° + 329.8° = 395.2°, one full turn and 35.2°. 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 13:23, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Ashtami is Balava and the second Kaulava. Balava runs until 16:44, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 05:36 Sun.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 04:46 to 04:46 Sun, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shaniwara.

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: Vrishabha gives Jyeshtha. The Sun enters Mithuna on 15 Jun, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Jun, finds it in Mithuna and begins Ashadha.

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 29 Jun, with the Sun in Mithuna, begins Ashadha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Ashadha here, and Jyeshtha in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 1 Apr 2003, 21:18 Tue. Since then the Sun has moved 77.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2060; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1925.
