Purnima: every date in Myjava

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 168°–180° is the 15th, Shukla Purnima. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:20 here. Chaturdashi ended at 09:23 Sat, before it. Purnima ends at 05:35, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 21 Apr, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise. Pratipada began at 05:35 and ended at 01:48 Mon, between the sunrises of 05:20 and 05:19 Mon. Sunday reads Purnima and Monday reads Dwitiya: Pratipada is a kshaya tithi here.

The night of Sat 5 May ran from sunset 20:11 Sat to sunrise 05:20, 9 h 9 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:20 to 20:12, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 51 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:12 to 05:19 Mon, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 8 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′. Vishakha spans 200°00′–213°20′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 200°. It leaves at 23:28, for Anuradha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 22° + 201.8° = 223.8°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 213°20′–226°40′ is the 17th, Vyatipata. It ends at 09:34, then Variyana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Purnima is Vishti and the second Bava. Vishti ended at 19:29 Sat, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 05:35.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:20 to 05:19 Mon, so the hours after midnight still belong to Raviwara.

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: Mesha gives Vaishakha. The Sun enters Vrishabha on 14 May, inside the month. The next new moon, 21 May, finds it in Vrishabha and begins Jyeshtha.

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 21 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, began Vaishakha. This Shukla paksha reads Vaishakha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 22 Mar 2012, 15:37 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 43.7° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2069; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1934.
