Panchang in Sevan, Gegharkunik, Armenia Fri 8 Jun 2018

The Moon gains on the Sun about 12° a day. Each 12° of lead is one tithi: 276°–288° is the 24th, Krishna Navami. A day takes the tithi in force at its sunrise, 05:29 here. Ashtami ended at 11:07 Thu, before it. Navami ends at 11:43, when the lead reaches 288°. The lead passed 180° at the full moon of 29 May, so the Moon is waning: Krishna paksha.

The night of Thu 7 Jun ran from sunset 20:28 Thu to sunrise 05:29, 9 h 1 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 36 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:29 to 20:28, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 52 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:28 to 05:29 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 7 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 Bhadrapada spans 333°20′–346°40′; the Moon entered its pada 2 at 336°40′. It leaves at 21:32, for Revati.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 53.1° + 338° = 391.1°, one full turn and 31.1°. 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 20:48, then Saubhagya.

A karana is half a tithi: 6° of the Moon's lead, so the first half of Navami is Taitila and the second Garaja. Taitila ended at 23:31 Thu, when the lead reached 282°; Garaja runs until 11:43.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:29 to 05:29 Sat, so the hours after midnight still belong to Shukrawara.

A month normally holds one sankranti, the Sun's entry into a new rashi. From 15 May 15:47 Tue to 13 Jun 23:43 Wed the Sun stayed in Vrishabha, entering Mithuna at 15 Jun 10:06 Fri, after the new moon. A month with no sankranti is Adhika Jyeshtha, before Jyeshtha itself.

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 13 Jun, with the Sun in Vrishabha, begins Jyeshtha (Adhik). Until then this Krishna paksha reads Jyeshtha (Adhik) here, and Jyeshtha (Adhik) in the amanta count.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 17 Mar 2018, 17:11 Sat. Since then the Sun has moved 80.3° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2075; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1940.
