At sunrise the Moon is 300.3° ahead of the Sun. 300.3 ÷ 12° = 25.02, which puts it in lunar day 26 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraPurva Bhadrapada until 3:48 PMthen Uttara Bhadrapada until 2:48 PM, 13 May
At sunrise the Moon is at 327.8° in the sidereal zodiac. 327.8 ÷ 13°20′ = 24.58, which puts it in nakshatra 25 of 27.
SunRises 5:55 AM, sets 8:33 PM
Daylight today is 14h 38m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit12:45 PM – 1:44 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 59 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal4:54 PM – 6:44 PM
Daylight today is 878 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 110 minutes. On Tuesday, Rahu Kaal is part 7. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 355.2°. 355.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 26.64, which makes this yoga 27 of 27.
KaranaBava until 4:48 PMthen Balava until 4:00 AM, 13 May
A karana is half a tithi: each 6° the Moon gains on the Sun.
PakshaKrishna · waning
Shukla is the bright half, from new moon to full moon. Krishna is the dark half, from full moon to new moon.
MonthJyeshtha · Vaishakha in the south and west
North India usually ends a month at full moon, and much of the south and west at new moon. In the dark fortnight, the two count different months. Why there are two names
Moon · SunKumbha · Mesha
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 327.8°, Sun 27.5°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.

MoonRises 3:56 AM, 13 May, Sets 3:41 PM, 25% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Why times differ in Toronto
