Tithis in Vedic astrology

The Moon represents emotions in Vedic astrology. In many cultures, the Moon is given more importance than the Sun, and the Moon calendar is followed while deciding day-to-day activities. The movement of the Moon in the heavens results in 30 tithis, including Poornima and Amavasya in a lunar month. Each tithi is identified by the shape of the Moon that is visible in the sky on that day.

The Tithis are further divided into five - Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya, Rikta, and Poorna.

• Nanda Tithi - Pratipada, Shashti, and Ekadashi are called Nanda Tithi. These dates are considered auspicious for business and construction.
• Bhadra tithi - Dwitiya, Saptami, and Dwadashi are called Bhadra Tithis. This date is considered auspicious for purchase.
• Jaya tithi - Tritiya, Ashtami, and Trayodashi are called Jaya Tithi. This is the tithi of victory.
• Rikta Tithi - Chaturthi, Navami, and Chaturdashi are Rikta Tithis. This is the tithi to get rid of things.
• Poorna Tithi - Panchami, Dashami, and Purnima dates are called Poorna Tithi. All kinds of auspicious works are done on these dates.

Apart from these five, there is also Suniya Tithi which is not suited to carry out any kind of work.

The Suniya Tithis are as follows - Chaitra Krishna Ashtami, Vaishakh Krishna Navami, Jyestha Krishna Chaturdashi, Jyeshtha Shukla Trayodashi, Ashada Krishna Shashthi, Shravan Krishna Dwitiya and Tritiya, Bhadrapada Krishna Pratipada and Dwitiya, Ashwin Krishna Dashami and Ekadashi, Kartik Krishna Panchami and Shukla Chaturdashi, Aghan Krishna Saptami, and Ashtami, Paush Krishna Chaturthi and Panchami, Magh Krishna Panchami, and Magh Shukla Tritiya.

Tithi calculator

The birth Tithi can be calculated using date, time, and place of birth. An individual's birth tithi has a lot of influence on his/her life and personality. The Tithi should never be overlooked when identifying auspicious and inauspicious muhurats.
