Today is Krishna Navami of Pushya, holding until 12:46 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 Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down until 09:06 PM. Rahu kalam is 08:31 AM–09:53 AM.
The day runs from 07:10 AM to 06:00 PM, 10h 50m of daylight, the yoga is Dhriti and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Dhanus. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:13 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.
