Tithi (Lunar date)
Tithi is the lunar date. There are thirty tithis in a lunar month. A Tithi is also a measure of separation of the Moon and Sun from each other. Each Tithi has its own independent planetary lord. Persons born under different Tithis have different characteristics. For example, a person born on full moon day (poornima) will have stronger characteristics of the moon than a person born on new moon day (amavasya).
The Tithis are divided into five groups:
1. Nanda (Ananda or Joyous) tithis - Prathipada (1st), Shasti (6th) and Ekadashi (11th) bestows happiness and joy
2. Bhadra (Arogya or Mangala or Healthy) tithis – Dwitiya (2nd), Saptami (7th) and Dwadashi (12th) good for stating new work
3. Jaya (Victory) Tithis –Tuesday Tritiya (3rd), Ashtami (8th ) and Trtayodashi (13th) good for winning over enemies
4. Rikkta (Loss or Nashta) Tithis – Saturday Chathurthi (4th), Navami (9th) and Chaturdasi (14th) not good for any important work, so it is avoided
5. Poorna (Sampoorna - Full Moon or New Moon) Tithis –Thursday Panchami (5th), Dashami (10th) and Amavasya (15th)(New Moon) or Poornima (15th) very good to complete all jobs
Note : There are 4 important tithis which do not require any muhurtam, since each of the entire tithi is considered good. Any important work like wedding etc. can be done on these tithis. These are:
1 Chaitra Shukla Pratipada (Prathama)
