Shukla • Waxing Crescent
Multiple Tithis occur on this day. Here's the complete schedule:
Navami represents the ninth and penultimate phase, associated with the victorious aspect of Goddess Durga. It marks near-completion of the lunar phase cycle and is powerful for finishing important tasks. Like a river reaching close to the ocean, Navami carries momentum toward fulfillment.
Dashami is presided over by Lord Yama, the god of dharma and justice. This Tithi emphasizes ethical living, karmic balance, and righteous action. Like a judge delivering fair verdicts, Dashami's energy supports moral clarity and just decisions.
Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar, representing the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon. Unlike solar days which are 24 hours, a Tithi can vary between 19 to 26 hours. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month, divided into two pakshas (fortnights): Shukla Paksha (waxing moon, bright fortnight) and Krishna Paksha (waning moon, dark fortnight). Each Tithi has its own deity, nature, and significance for various activities. For important ceremonies and life events, consulting with a Jyotishi ensures alignment with your personal birth chart alongside these traditional associations.
The bright fortnight from new moon to full moon. Energy increases, ideal for starting new projects, growth activities, and building toward goals.
The dark fortnight from full moon to new moon. Energy decreases, ideal for completion, introspection, spiritual practices, and releasing old patterns.
A Tithi is a lunar day based on the Moon's position relative to the Sun, lasting 19-26 hours, while a solar day is fixed at 24 hours. Tithis are used for religious and auspicious timing.
Tithi end times are calculated based on precise astronomical positions visible from your location, so they change with geographical coordinates and time zones.
Generally, Purnima (full moon), Ekadashi, Dashami, Tritiya, and Dwitiya are considered highly auspicious for most activities. However, specific Tithis are favorable for specific purposes.
Shubh (auspicious) Tithis are best for new beginnings. Avoid starting important ventures on Krura (cruel) Tithis unless specifically prescribed for that activity.
Tithis influence the quality of time and energy available for different activities. Aligning important events with favorable Tithis can enhance success and reduce obstacles.
