Plan Your Day

Thithi

Tithi is the date according to the Hindu lunar calendar. The Hindu lunar calendar consists of a dark and a bright fortnight. Completion of 12 degrees of movement on that of Sun is called a Tithi or Hindu Day. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month. Tithis are shown in two major halves called Pakshas, Shukla Paksha and Krishna Paksha. There are several rituals and festivals associated with the Tithi. Tithi is significant from point of view of undertaking some rituals and functions as most of the Hindu festivals fall on the new moon day or the full moon day.
The Hindu Tithis are classified into 5 types:

• Nanda Tithi – Bestows happiness, enjoyment.

• Bhadra Tithi - Auspicious for stating new work

• Jaya Tithi - Auspicious for winning over enemies.

• Rikta Tithi – To be avoided for any important work.

• Poorna Tithi – Auspicious to complete all jobs.

Shukla Paksha : Shukla Paksha are the 15 Tithis starting from New Moon to Full Moon ( Poornima).

Krishna Paksha: Krishna Paksha are the 15 Tithis starting from the Full Moon to New Moon ( Amavasya).

Note: It is important to note that starting or ending of a Tithi depends upon the degree of Moon from that of Sun therefore a Tithi ends or starts at any time in a day not like the Modern Time when a date changes at midnight

Nakshatra

An astrologer must give special attention to the position of Moon places in particular Nakshatra (constellation). The Sanskrit word Nakshatra means “that which does not decay.”

There are twenty-seven Nakshatras considered in Vedic Astrology. Each one of them has thirteen degree and twenty minutes of the zodiac. Nakshatra can be known with help of degrees of Moon in a particular sign at the time of birth.

The Nakshatras influence the quality of the Rashi in which they are positioned. The sequence of the 27 Nakshatras begins with Ashwini Nakshatra in Mesha Rashi.
 

Yoga

A Yog is obtained from the sum of the Nirayna Longitude of the Moon and Sun and the sum is divided into 27 parts of 13°20' each. The first yog ( Viskumbh) ends when the sum is 13°20'. Second Yog ( Priti) ends when it is 26°40' and so on .

There are 27 yogas, namely:

Karan

Half of Tithi is called `Karna'. A Karna is completed when the Nirayana longitude of the Moon gains every 6° on that of Sun. In each Tithi there are two Karans covering the two halves of the Tithi.

There are 11 karnas in total. These can be classified as under:

Rahukalam

RahuKalam has a very important place in Vedic Astrology as it help in determining the inauspicious time period with in a complete day for starting any new, auspicious or important work.

Though, RahuKalam is calculated with help of Sun-Rise and Sun-Set time. Hence, this is obvious that it will differ from place to place.

Rahu Kalam is one and a half hour time each day of a week distributed at random in the week days.

Since the Rahu Kalam is dependent on the Sun-rise and Sun-set times of your particular location, you must calculate it for any day.

Yamagandam

Like Rahu Kalam the following periods known as Yamagandam during which it is considered to be inauspicious to start any important work.
