Panchak, Bhadra and special yogas

Panchak Present

02:34:54 (3 days earlier) to 00:41:30 (2 days later)
Moon in Kumbha/Meena (Dhanishta 3rd pada to Revati)
traditional type: Raja Panchak (began on Monday)

The Panchak interval is an astronomical fact (Moon's position). Restrictions associated with it — such as avoiding southward travel, roofing, wood-gathering or certain funeral rites without remedies — are traditional and vary between communities. Learn more

Bhadra (Vishti karana) Present

19:38:03 (previous day) to 08:23:51
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

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.

Chandrabalam at sunrise for Moon signs

Vrishabha (Taurus), Mithuna (Gemini), Kanya (Virgo), Tula (Libra), Makara (Capricorn), Meena (Pisces)

Tarabalam at sunrise for birth nakshatras

Ashwini, Krittika, Mrigashira, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Magha, Uttara Phalguni, Chitra, Vishakha, Jyeshtha, Mula, Uttara Ashadha, Dhanishta, Purva Bhadrapada, Revati

Unfavourable Tara for: Bharani, Rohini, Ardra, Purva Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Purva Ashadha, Shravana, Shatabhisha

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

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana

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.
