Purnima: every date in Split

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, 05:42 here. Chaturdashi ended at 15:30 Thu, before it. Purnima ends at 12:42, when the lead reaches 180°. The lead passed 0° at the new moon of 16 Jul, so the Moon is waxing: Shukla paksha.

The night of Thu 30 Jul ran from sunset 20:19 Thu to sunrise 05:42, 9 h 23 m. Cut into 15 muhurtas of 37 m, its 14th is Brahma Muhurta, the one before the last.

Daylight here, 05:42 to 20:18, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 49 m. Their names follow a fixed order that starts from the weekday, and each name is counted good, neutral or bad.

The night here, 20:18 to 05:43 Sat, splits into 8 choghadiyas of 1 h 10 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 4 at 276°40′. It leaves at 06:23, for Shravana.

Add the Sun's and the Moon's places among the stars: 103.6° + 279.6° = 383.2°, one full turn and 23.2°. Past the turn, cut into 27 parts of 13°20′, it gives the yoga: 13°20′–26°40′ is the 2nd, Priti. It ends at 11:06, then Ayushmana.

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 02:09, when the lead reached 174°; Bava runs until 12:42.

A Hindu day runs from one sunrise to the next, not midnight to midnight. This one runs 05:42 to 05:43 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: Mithuna gives Ashadha. The Sun enters Karka on 17 Jul, inside the month. The next new moon, 14 Aug, finds it in Karka and begins Shravana.

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 16 Jul, with the Sun in Mithuna, began Ashadha. This Shukla paksha reads Ashadha in both counts.

A samvat year begins with Chaitra, the month whose new moon finds the Sun in Meena: 20 Mar 2015, 10:36 Fri. Since then the Sun has moved 128.2° round the stars. Vikram Samvat numbers that year 2072; Shaka Samvat numbers it 1937.
