Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Ashwina, holding until 11:30 AM. 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 waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Swati, independence — the reed that bends because it is not tied down until 07:24 AM. Rahu kalam is 04:21 PM–05:45 PM.
The day runs from 06:36 AM to 05:45 PM, 11h 9m of daylight, the yoga is Ayushman and the karana Shakuni, the moon stands in Tula. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:48 AM and 12:33 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.
