Ask the sage

Ask him about the day.

He reads the day itself in all four traditions. He has not seen your chart here; for that, ask from your own sheet. It’s an astrologer’s opinion, written by AI, and what you do with it is yours to decide (see the Terms).

Where the sources differ

Sunrise: which moment

The panchang day begins at sunrise, and almanacs mean two different moments by it. Drik Panchang and most almanacs printed today take the first sight of the Sun’s upper edge, allowing for the bending of light at the horizon. The older reckoning takes the centre of the disc on the true horizon, with no such allowance: a few minutes later at sunrise and earlier at sunset. Rahu kalam and the other parts of the day move with it, and now and then the tithi at sunrise changes.

Showing: The centre of the disc on the true horizon, no refraction

Times are local to Bengaluru. Reckoned by the drik method with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the day running sunrise to sunrise. This is the day’s almanac for everyone; for what the same day does to your chart, and for choosing a wedding or moving date, read your four skies.
