How to Manifest With Lunar Tithis

Time

The Sun, the Moon and the planets create time on Earth. According to Vedic lore, the foremost reason for the inequality we see in the lives of human beings is taking action at the wrong time. For example, think of an individual who was born when the planets—the source of our consciousness—promised struggles in finances, or difficult relationships. Or you can think of people who were born during auspicious planetary alignments that supported good luck, wealth and love.

So time is connected with the planets, stars and other celestial bodies that bring you thoughts of sorrow or happiness.

According to the ancient intuitive Indian seers, the Rishis, time is everything. An action started during an auspicious time window will most likely bring you desired results, even if you were born in a difficult planetary period.

Conversely, starting the exact same action during difficult astrological conditions will most likely bring failure, even when this individual was born during auspicious times.

So following the wisdom of the Vedic seers, astronomers and astrologers by using astrologically positive periods can help us manifest the success, happiness and joy we seek.

Karma

Karma is made of habitual thoughts, and staying with this particular mindset can sometimes result in delays in career, relationship and finances. So our wealth, health and relationships depend on our mindset.

Vedic astrology is the science of light or Jyotisha, which shows how your thinking process originated in your past lives that resulted in karmic imprints.

In fact, our mindset creates the events we experience in life, and how we act or react  in each situation.

For example — if an individual’s karmic imprints support material comforts, than he or she will intuitively make the right decisions at the right time.

So karma and time are interrelated.

Again, time is very important as right action initiated at the right time can deliver positive experiences, success and happiness.

Among the innumerable tools and techniques for studying and understanding time,
Vedic astrology offers the study of Tithis – or Moon days — and their influence on human consciousness.

All lunar phases have been divided according to the actual position of the Moon in relation to the Sun and the Earth. This cycle repeats once a month for 29.5 days.

How Tithis Influence Your Life

Vedic Astrology includes the study of constellations and planetary movements. These movements are believed to influence every aspect of people’s lives on Earth, based on the principle of interconnectedness of everything in the universe.

So the radiations from celestial bodies can have a ripple effect on your body-mind and life. And the study of Tithis or lunar phases constitutes an important part of Vedic astrology, and every phase is called a lunar day. 
Tithis include 15 waxing lunar phases (or Shukla Paksha), and 15 waning lunar phases (or Krishna Paksha).

The Moon plays a dominant role in our moods, emotions and perceptions. Our minds tend to be more lively and positive during the brighter, waxing cycle. And beginning new projects is recommended at this time.

But when the moonlight gradually diminishes during its waning cycle, our minds become more introverted and we tend to indulge in self-analysis, meditation and contemplation.

The waning cycle is a favorable time for self-analysis and eliminating all that no longer benefits our lives.

Most Auspicious and Least Auspicious

In the Indian evolutionary systems of yoga and Jyotisha, there’s no separation between our spiritual lives and material happiness. In other words, you can work on becoming enlightened, help humanity and drive a luxury car all at the same time. “God is not poor,” says my spiritual teacher Dr. Pillai, Tamil Siddha yogi and phenomenologist of religion.

Through yoga and studying the stars, you can find union of body, mind and soul, end suffering, acquire wealth, loving relationships, and evolve to a state of union with the Divine, which you can experience as bliss and supernormal powers.

Read Lalitha’s book “Bliss Lab: How the Ancient Yogis Acquired Supernormal Powers and How You Can Too.”

So as we’ve seen, one of the best ways for understanding the effects of the Moon on the mind, is studying the nature of the Moon phases.

Usually the 10^th and 11^th Moon phases are considered highly auspicious for both your material and spiritual gains. But the 8^th and the 9^th Moon phases can create hurdles and sometimes failure.

Of the 30 Tithis:

• 15 Tithis belong to the waxing cycle of the Moon of Shukla Paksha or brighter phase that begins at Amavasya, the New Moon or No-Moon Day, and ends with Purnima (or Full Moon)

15 Tithis are part of the waning cycle of the Moon of Krishna Paksha or darker phase that begins at the end of the Full Moon or Purnima, and ends with the New Moon or Amavasya

Although Tithis are based on the interaction between the Sun and the Moon, lunar phases radiate different energies, frequencies and vibrations. As such, they influence our body-mind, decisions, and experiences.

Each Tithi has a specific name, and is connected to a ruling planet and a divine archetype. Based on these associations, Tithis can be used to calculate the  auspicious time (or muhurta) for any important events, such as weddings, christenings, naming of a newborn child, inaugurations of businesses or buildings, and more.

Tithis and Their Deities

To facilitate the selection of a positive “time Shakti” (or time window) for your day-to-day life and your important activities, below you’ll find the meaning of each Tithi and its respective ruling deity (or Deva in Sanskrit).

Below you’ll find the meaning, deity, and use of each lunar phase.

Shukla Paksha – Waxing, Brighter Lunar Cycle

1^st Waxing Phase – Shukla Pratipada – is ruled by Kubera, the Treasurer of the Gods, who is traditionally invoked in prayers for wealth. This lunar phase is also ruled by Brahma, the Creator God of the Vedic Trinity.

This is the first lunar phase after the No-Moon Day called in modern times New Moon—a day of darkness when the Moon is invisible. So the 1^st waxing Moon is kind of dark and not very supportive for human activities.

However, this Tithi is helpful for planning and developing strategies for important projects. And it’s not considered good for auspicious ceremonies or travels.

2nd Waxing – Shukla Dwitiya – ruled by Lord Vivadeva. It’s considered auspicious for marriage, shopping wedding related articles, installation of deities. It is not auspicious for disputes or fights.

Important Ways of Using Tithis for Positive Transformation

According to Vedic astrology, an individual’s natal Tithi can have a major influence on his or her life and personality.

For example, if you were born on the New Moon your mood can often be subdued and you might tend to delay taking action. Or if you were born during the 10^th waxing Moon you tend to easily take action to succeed, enjoy positive results in your profession or business, and can even acquire fame. A qualified Vedic Astrologer can help you acquire the right mindset to reach all your goals.
