Today is Shukla Chaturdasi of Ashadha, holding until 06:51 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 Mula, down to the root — investigation that does not stop at the surface until 08:22 AM. Rahu kalam is 09:12 AM–10:52 AM.
The day runs from 05:51 AM to 07:15 PM, 13h 24m of daylight, the yoga is Indra and the karana Vanija, the moon stands in Karka. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:06 PM and 01:00 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.
