Today is Krishna Navami of Shravana, holding until 07:27 PM. It is a rikta — "empty" — tithi, one of the three each fortnight that are traditionally set aside for weddings, housewarmings and new ventures.
That does not make it a bad day. Rikta tithis suit exactly what their name suggests: clearing, concluding, settling debts, medical treatment, and finishing what is already under way. The moon is in Rohini, growth and abundance — the most fertile ground in the zodiac until 03:18 AM. Rahu kalam is 05:21 PM–06:58 PM.
The day runs from 06:04 AM to 06:58 PM, 12h 54m of daylight, the yoga is Vyaghata and the karana Taitila, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:05 PM and 12:57 PM. All of these are computed for India (IST); change the city in the header and they move with it.
Timings are computed astronomically for the selected city and cross-referenced against the traditional panchangams in common use. Regional practice can differ by a day — please confirm important dates with the panchangam your family follows.
