The fourteenth lunar day, governed by Shiva. A powerful and intense tithi associated with the dissolution of what has run its course. Auspicious for Shaiva worship and deep reflection.
Ruled by Ketu and governed by Nirriti, goddess of dissolution at the galactic centre. Drives to root causes, governs endings that clear the ground for entirely new direction.
The yoga of the fixed north star. Bestows stability and permanence. Ideal for laying foundations, signing long-term agreements, and establishing enduring structures.
A fixed karana associated with cunning and strategy. Neither auspicious nor inauspicious in itself — favours activities requiring careful planning and tactical thinking.
Wednesday — the day of Mercury (Budha). Favours learning, writing, trade, communication, mathematics, and any activity requiring analytical precision and verbal skill.
