5 Panchang Glossary
Tithi
A lunar day — the time it takes the Moon to move 12° further from the Sun than it was. There are 30 in a lunar month, split into Shukla Paksha (waxing, 1–15) and Krishna Paksha (waning, 16–30).
Paksha
The lunar fortnight. Shukla Paksha runs from New Moon to Full Moon (waxing, growing light); Krishna Paksha runs from Full Moon to New Moon (waning).
Nakshatra
One of 27 lunar mansions the Moon passes through each month, each spanning 13°20′ of the zodiac. Used for muhurat, naming, and the Vimshottari Dasha system.
Rashi
The Moon's zodiac sign (Chandra Rashi) — different from your Sun sign, and the basis for Moon-sign horoscopes commonly used in Vedic astrology.
Purnima & Amavasya
Purnima (Full Moon, Tithi 15) and Amavasya (New Moon, Tithi 30) mark the end of each Paksha and are significant for fasting, rituals and ancestor worship.
Supermoon & Micromoon
The Moon's orbit isn't a perfect circle — a Full Moon near perigee (closest approach) looks larger and is called a Supermoon; one near apogee (farthest) is a Micromoon.
6 How This Is Calculated
Every value here — Moon phase, Tithi, Nakshatra, Rashi and distance — is computed from the Sun and Moon's ecliptic longitudes using standard low-precision solar and lunar position formulas, entirely inside your browser. Sidereal placements (Nakshatra and Rashi) use the Lahiri ayanamsa.
