The whole day

Tomorrow
TithiPratipada until 4:38 PMthen Dwitiya until 12:57 PM, 25 Dec
At sunrise the Moon is 186.8° ahead of the Sun. 186.8 ÷ 12° = 15.56, which puts it in lunar day 16 of 30. Why tithis repeat or vanish
NakshatraArdra until 3:17 PMthen Punarvasu until 12:20 PM, 25 Dec
At sunrise the Moon is at 75.2° in the sidereal zodiac. 75.2 ÷ 13°20′ = 5.64, which puts it in nakshatra 6 of 27.
SunRises 7:49 AM, sets 4:46 PM
Daylight today is 8h 56m. Sunrise and sunset are when the Sun’s upper edge crosses the horizon, allowing for the way the atmosphere bends light.
Abhijit11:59 AM – 12:35 PM
Daylight is split into 15 muhurtas of 36 minutes each today. Abhijit is the 8th, around midday, and is traditionally considered a good time.
Rahu Kaal1:24 PM – 2:31 PM
Daylight today is 536 minutes. Split it into 8 parts of 67 minutes. On Thursday, Rahu Kaal is part 6. It’s a traditional rule, not an astronomical event. Why people avoid it

YogaBrahma until 9:59 PMthen Indra until 5:47 PM, 25 Dec
At sunrise the Sun and Moon’s longitudes add up to 323.7°. 323.7 ÷ 13°20′ = 24.28, which makes this yoga 25 of 27.
KaranaKaulava until 4:38 PMthen Taitila until 2:45 AM, 25 Dec
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.
MonthPausha · Margashirsha 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 · SunMithuna · Dhanu
Sidereal positions at sunrise: Moon 75.2°, Sun 248.5°. Sidereal means 24.23° (the Lahiri ayanamsa) behind the zodiac used in Western astrology.
SamvatVikram 2083 · Shaka 1948
Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the Gregorian year, and Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind it.
MoonRises 5:32 PM, Sets 8:36 AM, 100% lit
A Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a moonrise just before dawn belongs to the day before.

Gulika10:03 AM – 11:10 AM
