Tithi Pravesh

[Guest guest]

Narasimha,

 

I calculated my tithi pravesh chart using JHlite. For year 2004 it

gives mne november 19. I was born in margashirsha month , shukla

ashtami. However this year margashirsha month was in December and

margashirsha sukla ashtami was dec19. Does JHlite not account for

adhika maas ?

 

Thanks

Satish,

 

Sun takes the form of Dwadasa (12) Adityas in the twelve signs. At the time of

Tithi Pravesha, the basic criterion is that Sun should have the same form of

Aditya as at birth. In other words, Sun should occupy his natal sign. Then the

tithi should return, i.e. Sun-Moon angular distance should match that at birth.

 

Please read the following article, which is the first in a series of articles

published in Jyotish Digest:

If one is born in Margasirsha month, the Tithi Pravesha in a year may come in

Kartika month or sometimes in Pushya month. The lunar month's name is decided

based on the sign occupied by Sun at the beginning of the month. In Tithi

Pravesha, what is important is the sign occupied by Sun at the time of Tithi

Pravesha and not at the beginning of the month.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha
