Bhadra (Vishti karana) Present

04:54:35 (next day) to 15:22:51 (next day)
Residence: Bhumi (earth)

Bhadra is the Vishti karana (a calculated half-tithi). Many traditions avoid auspicious beginnings during Bhadra, especially when it resides on earth (Moon in Karka, Simha, Kumbha or Meena); some permit activities when it resides in Swarga or Patala. Learn more

Special yogas

None of the listed special yogas occur during this Hindu day.

Tarabalam and Chandrabalam for your Moon sign

Chandrabalam: the day's Moon sign counted from your Moon sign (janma rashi) is favourable in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th and 11th place. Tarabalam: the day's nakshatra counted from your birth nakshatra, in groups of nine (Taras), is favourable for Taras 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9, unfavourable for 3, 5 and 7, and mixed for 1 (Janma). Choose your Moon sign, and your birth nakshatra if you know it.

Mesha (Aries), Mithuna (Gemini), Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo), Dhanu (Sagittarius), Makara (Capricorn)

Tarabalam at sunrise for birth nakshatras

At sunrise the Moon is in Mithuna (Gemini), in Ardra. The Moon changes sign or nakshatra during the day, so these lists can change after sunrise; choose your Moon sign for the times.

A kshaya tithi touches no sunrise and a vriddhi tithi touches two; Panchangs name each day by the tithi at its sunrise, so a kshaya tithi is skipped and a vriddhi tithi is repeated.
