Tithi

Krishna Paksha, Pratipada

The lunar day — the Moon's phase named. This sets the day's emotional weather more than the weekday does.

Waning fortnight — a natural time to complete, edit, and reduce. Starting is allowed; over-promising is sloppy.

Weekday

Friday

Civil weekday, each traditionally linked to a planet (Sunday Sun, Monday Moon, and so on).

A simple habit: do the Friday planet's small good deed, nothing fancy.

Star

Shatabhisha (quarter 2)

Today's nakshatra — the Moon's mansion. Used for naming, travel mood, and 'does this day feel like us'.

If a task keeps slipping, it may simply be the wrong star-day. Try again tomorrow.

Yoga

Ganda

A named combo of Sun + Moon for the day's flavour. Treat as weather, not commandment.

Ganda is the label. Use the tithi advice above for action.

Karana

Balava

Half a tithi. Old almanacs used it for short tasks (a purchase, a trip).

If you only remember one thing, remember tithi. Karana is extra grain.

Moon sign

Aquarius

The zodiac sign the Moon occupies today. This is also what the daily horoscope is counted from.

Your natal Moon sign vs today's Moon sign tells which house of your life is lit.

Sunrise

06:07 AM

Approximate local sunrise for the place you picked. Brahma muhurta is the 48 minutes before this.

If you do one ritual, make it light on the skin at sunrise — no purchase required.

Sunset

06:32 PM

Approximate local sunset. A good kitchen-clock for winding the day down.

Eat the main meal before this if sleep has been poor.
