Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Mon 10 Dec 2029

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 60°–72° is the 6th, Shukla Shashthi. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 07:31 here. Panchami ended at 05:21, before it. Shashthi ends at 05:21 Tue, when the lead reaches 72°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 5 Dec, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Sun 9 Dec ran from sunset 15:53 Sun to sunrise 07:31, 15 h 38 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 1 h 2 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 07:31 to 15:53, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 2 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 15:53 to 07:32 Tue, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 57 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′. Dhanishtha spans 293°20′–306°40′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 293°20′. It leaves at 04:29 Tue, for Shatabhisha.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 234.2° + 295.3° = 529.5°, one full turn and 169.5°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 160°00′–173°20′ is the 13th, Vyaghata. It ends at 14:00, then Harshana.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Shashthi is Kaulava and the second Taitila. Kaulava runs until 17:15, when the lead reaches 66°; Taitila until 05:21 Tue.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 07:31 to 07:32 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: Vrishchika gives Margashirsha. The Sun enters Dhanu on 16 Dec, inside the month. The next new moon, 4 Jan, finds it in Dhanu and begins Pausha.

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 5 Dec, with the Sun in Vrishchika, began Margashirsha. This Shukla paksha reads Margashirsha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 15 Mar 2029, 05:19 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 263.6° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2086; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1951.
