It is considered that any activity (especially travelling) started during the period of Yama Ghantaka pushes the one towards to death. Its good for following works: marriage dance, music, singing travelling entering house war, works related to elephants, jewellery making and wearing, hand works, Alankar (ornamentation). Tithi is one element of panchang which should never be overlooked. The duration of tithi can be anywhere between 21.5 hours to 26 hours.Īccording to vedic astrology, an individuals birth tithi has a lot of influence on hisher life and personality.Īlso, tithi is the basis for identifying auspicious and inauspicious muhurats. Understanding the significations of the deity will also give a deeper meaning to each tithi, so that it can be used better in Muhurta.In simple terms, a tithi is a lunar day and the tithi calendar refers to the Hindu lunar calendar.īetween Krishna paksha (waning phase) pradipada and Shukla paksha (waxing phase) purnima there are 30 tithis, the length of each lunar day may vary though. Varahamihira connects each tithi to a deity. These inauspicious Days have been called Dagdha, Visha, and Hutashan. In the same way there are certain combinations that are inauspicious, where there will be hurdles in accomplishing works. If Pratipat (1st ), Shashti (6th ), or Dwadashi (12th ) fall on a Friday, it is considered auspicious. When certain Tithis line up with specific Varas (days) they are considered auspicious and therefore work on those days is accomplished successfully. The Arudha shows where the problem will come from or where the person comes from. If the A10 is there the person will likely come from their work, A9 and it will be with Gurus, teachers, educators, if the A11 is there it will be with friends, etc.

If a person is born in Nanda tithi, and Venus is in Scorpio, then the person will be likely have relationships outside of marriage. It shows important learning experiences in life. Tithi is about relationship, if Rahu is in Aries the person will have trouble from a widow/foreigner/eccentric in relationships. Mars is passionate, energetic, and creates conflict, it is not good for marriage, though it is good for war and leadership.įor a person born in Nanda tithi, see what’s placed in Aries and Scorpio, look at the planets, and Arudhas.

Ekadasi tithi (11th ) is ruled by Mars and it is Nanda (ruled by fire-Mars) so the fighting is very strong. Trittya tithi (3rd ) is ruled by Mars but as it is Jaya (ruled by akash/Jupiter) so it will bring two people together, as akash is the binding force (that keeps the jiva in the body). It also shows whether people will cooperate with the project or not. The tithi is used to see if an event will be successful.

The Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu Tattva (the air element/Saturn) and shows what the mind will experience whether it is going to be a pleasant or painful experience.

The tithi is ruled by Jala Tattva (the water element/Venus) and shows the state of the mind whether it is excited, bored, nervous, afraid, agitated or calm. In picking a Muhurta one must understand the difference between Nakshatra and tithi, both relate to the mind. This is a nice visual, so one can connect the meanings with the actual phases of the Moon. In this way, the Gregorian dates have no astrological relevance. In the traditional Vedic calendar system the tithis are used as dates, so one’s birthday would be on the same tithi as they were born, the relationship between the Sun (Father) and Moon (Mother) would be the same on one’s birthday as it was the day of birth. Each Paksha has 15 Tithis, so Shukla Pratipat is the first day of the waxing Moon and Krsna Pratipat is the first day of the waning Moon. Paksha is a half month or half lunar cycle. The waxing Moon is called Shukla Paksha, the waning Moon is called Krsna Paksha.

Dwadashi is good or bad
