Today is Krishna Navami of Shravana, holding until 12:26 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 Mrigashira, the gentle searcher — always scenting for something better until 12:01 PM. Rahu kalam is 09:42 AM–11:19 AM.
The day runs from 06:29 AM to 07:23 PM, 12h 54m of daylight, the yoga is Siddhi and the karana Gara, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:30 PM and 01:22 PM. All of these are computed for Edison, NJ; 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.
