At sunrise the Moon is 71.2° ahead of the Sun. 71.2 ÷ 12° = 5.93, which puts it in lunar day 6 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraShravana until 7:47 AM, 17 Nov
At sunrise the Moon is at 280.4° in the sidereal zodiac. 280.4 ÷ 13°20′ = 21.03, which puts it in nakshatra 22 of 27.
SunRises 5:43 AM, sets 7:37 PM
