Amavasya Tithi (अमावस्या)

Krishna Paksha

New moon day - dark moon, junction point between ending and beginning. Sacred time for ancestor worship (Pitru Tarpan) and introspection. Moon is invisible - energy is inward and subtle. Highly important for remembering departed souls and offering them peace. Special Amavasyas: Mauni Amavasya (silent fast), Somvati Amavasya (Monday + Amavasya), Diwali Amavasya (Lakshmi Puja). Avoid auspicious ceremonies, weddings, and joyful material events. Focus on remembering ancestors, charity to poor, and inner spiritual work. A day for endings, not beginnings.

Highly Favorable
Ancestor worship (Pitru Tarpan)
Introspection
Charity to needy
Spiritual practices
Best Avoided
Marriage ceremonies
Starting businesses
Joyful material events

Krittika Nakshatra (कृत्तिका)

Lord: sun • Deity: Agni

Ruled by Sun, deity Agni (fire god). Sharp and purifying energy. Excellent for cutting through obstacles, surgeries, and decisive actions. Good for fame-seeking activities.

Highly Favorable
Surgery
Cutting obstacles
Fame pursuits

Best Avoided
Diplomacy
Gentle negotiations
