About this day

Today is Krishna Chavithi, the chaturthi tithi of Shravana, running until 03:14 AM. Chaturthi belongs to Ganesha — and the waning chaturthi is kept as Sankashti Chaturthi, a fast held until the moon is sighted late in the evening.

It is a rikta tithi in the muhurta scheme, which is why it is set aside for weddings and journeys while remaining well suited to removing obstacles and to clearing what is finished. The moon is in Revati, safe passage — the last nakshatra, and a kind one until 10:54 PM; rahu kalam runs 08:16 AM to 09:59 AM.

The day runs from 06:33 AM to 08:17 PM, 13h 44m of daylight, the yoga is Ganda and the karana Bava, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:58 PM and 01:53 PM. All of these are computed for Dublin; change the city in the header and they move with it.
