Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 7 Nov 2016

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, 06:46 here. Shashthi ended at 07:46 Sun, before it. Saptami ends at 08:39, when the lead reaches 84°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 30 Oct, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 6 Nov ran from sunset 16:21 Sun to sunrise 06:46, 14 h 25 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 57 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 06:46 to 16:19, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 11 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 16:19 to 06:47 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 48 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′. Shravana spans 280°00′–293°20′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 283°20′. It leaves at 23:47, for Dhanishtha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 201.2° + 284.2° = 485.4°, one full turn and 125.4°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 120°00′–133°20′ is the 10th, Ganda. It ends at 20:34, then Vriddhi.

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 ended at 20:18 Sun, when the lead reached 78°; Vanija runs until 08:39.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 06:46 to 06:47 Tue, so the hours after midnight still belong to Somawara.

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: Tula gives Kartika. The Sun enters Vrishchika on 16 Nov, inside the month. The next new moon, 29 Nov, finds it in Vrishchika and begins Margashirsha.

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 30 Oct, with the Sun in Tula, began Kartika. This Shukla paksha reads Kartika in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 7 Apr 2016, 13:23 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 207.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2073; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1938.
