Panchang in Myjava, Trenčín Region, Slovakia Fri 18 Apr 2036

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, 05:52 here. Saptami ended at 02:49, before it. Ashtami ends at 05:23 Sat, when the lead reaches 276°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 10 Apr, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 17 Apr ran from sunset 19:44 Thu to sunrise 05:52, 10 h 8 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 40 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:52 to 19:46, 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 night here, 19:46 to 05:50 Sat, 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 fixed stars divide the Moon's path into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each in 4 padas of 3°20′. Uttara Ashadha spans 266°40′–280°00′; the Moon entered its pada 1 at 266°40′. It leaves at 02:45 Sat, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 4.3° + 269.7° = 274°. The sum, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, gives the yoga: 266°40′–280°00′ is the 21st, Siddha. It ends at 17:01, then Sadhya.

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 16:05, when the lead reaches 270°; Kaulava until 05:23 Sat.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:52 to 05:50 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

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: Meena gives Chaitra. The Sun enters Mesha on 13 Apr, inside the month. The next new moon, 26 Apr, finds it in Mesha and begins Vaishakha.

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 26 Apr, with the Sun in Mesha, begins Vaishakha. Until then this Krishna paksha reads Vaishakha here, and Chaitra in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 27 Mar 2036, 21:56 Thu. Since then the Sun has moved 20.9° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2093; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1958.
