Tithi

Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Vara and Karana are his five components of the Hindu calendar. They have a special meaning in astrology. During Titi, the Moon moves away from the Sun by 12 degrees. Simply put, Titi is a day on the lunar calendar and the Hindu lunar calendar is related to the Titi calendar.

The duration of each lunar day varies, but the 30 Thetis Krishna Paksha (decreasing phase) straddles Prati pada and Shukra Paksha (growing phase) Purnima. The length of a titi is from 21.5 hours to 26 hours.

In the Hindu tradition, the mahrat, or auspicious hour, is determined by tithing. There are happy and unhappy tithes, each considered more beneficial than the other for a particular goal. Knowing the difference between nakshatra and titi is very important when choosing a muhurta as both affect our mental state.

Venus represents a person’s mental state, such as being excited, tired, scared, worried, angry, or calm. Vayu Tattvar, the element of Saturn and Air, rules Nakshatra. Predict whether the experience the spirit will have will be pleasant or painful.
