Today is Krishna Ashtami of Shravana, running until 06:46 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 Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better, until 04:01 AM. Abhijit muhurta falls 11:57 AM–12:43 PM.
The day runs from 06:37 AM to 06:03 PM, 11h 27m of daylight, the yoga is Vajra and the karana Kaulava, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 11:57 AM and 12:43 PM. All of these are computed for Auckland; 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.
