Today is Shukla Navami of Ashwina, holding until 07:03 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 Purva Ashadha, the invincible — conviction that will not be argued down until 08:07 AM. Rahu kalam is 12:16 PM–01:46 PM.
The day runs from 06:18 AM to 06:14 PM, 11h 56m of daylight, the yoga is Atiganda and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Kanya. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:53 AM and 12:40 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.
