Today is Krishna Ashtami of Magha, running until 07:31 AM. Ashtami is the half-moon tithi, when the pull of the sun and the moon is at its most divided, and the tradition places its most intense observances at exactly that point — Kalashtami in the waning.
It is a jaya tithi, held to favour contest, resolve and anything requiring nerve, and it is traditionally avoided for weddings. The nakshatra is Vishakha, the forked path — ambition held to a single goal, until 07:56 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 12:19 PM–01:04 PM.
The day runs from 07:03 AM to 06:19 PM, 11h 16m of daylight, the yoga is Vriddhi and the karana Balava, the moon stands in Makara. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:19 PM and 01:04 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.
