Today is Krishna Chaturdasi of Shravana, holding until 10:05 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 waning chaturdashi is also Masik Shivaratri, kept with a night vigil. The moon is in Magha, the throne — inherited authority and the weight of lineage until 01:35 AM. Rahu kalam is 01:06 PM–02:43 PM.
The day runs from 06:39 AM to 07:33 PM, 12h 54m of daylight, the yoga is Shiva and the karana Vishti, the moon stands in Simha. Abhijit muhurta, the window centred on solar noon, falls between 12:41 PM and 01:32 PM. All of these are computed for Seattle; 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.
