Tithi is the lunar day in Vedic astrology, one of five Panchanga elements used for muhurta (electional timing) and daily fortune.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12 degrees over the Sun, creating 30 Tithis per lunar month. Each Tithi has a ruling deity and nature—some are auspicious for beginnings, others for completion, some for rest. Tithis form the first element of Panchanga (five limbs) used in Vedic electional astrology. Your birth Tithi also indicates personality traits and auspicious days.
TriAstra calculates the daily Tithi as part of Daily Fortune scoring, using it to identify favorable and unfavorable days based on your birth chart.
Understanding Tithi helps with daily timing. Certain Tithis favor new beginnings (Shukla Pratipada), others favor spiritual practices (Ekadashi), and some suggest rest (Amavasya).
Understanding Tithi (Lunar Day) is just the beginning. See how it manifests in your unique birth chart with TriAstra's triple-system analysis.
