		These elements are vara (the day of the week), tithi (the lunar day, or phase of the moon), karana (half a tithi), naksatra (the position of the moon in the zodiac), and yoga (a measurement derived from the positions of the sun and moon).
		Except for the new moon and the full moon, the names of the tithis are simply counting words: pratipat, dvitiya, trtiya (first, second, third), etc. These names are the same for the tithis occurring during Krsna paksa (the dark period of the moon) and the gaura paksa (the bright period).
		Tithi is the phase of the moon, and naksatra marks the position of the moon.

		There are 15 tithis in the waxing cycle of the moon (shukla paksha), and there are 15 tithis in the waning cycle of the Moon (Krishna paksha).
		In the traditional Vedic calendar system the tithis are used as dates, so one's birthday would be on the same tithi as they were born, the relationship between the Sun (Father) and Moon (Mother) would be the same on one's birthday as it was the day of birth.
		The tithi is ruled by Jala Tattva (the water element/Venus) and shows the state of the mind; whether it is excited, bored, nervous, afraid, agitated or calm.

		Simply stated a tithi is a measurement of 12 degrees of longitudinal separation between the sun and the moon.
		This means that if a tithi begins just after sunrise and ends before the sunrise of the next day, it is eliminated.This is possible because the tithi can last between 19 to 26 hours due to the changing speed of the earth and moon in their obits.
		Recall that a tithi was 12 degrees of longitudinal separation between the sun and moon, the yoga is the combined longitudinal motion of the sun and the moon.

		The 15th tithi of the bright fortnight (full moon) is called pūrnimā and the 15th tithi of the dark fortnight (new moon) is called amāvāsyā.
		That means, if a festival should fall on the 10th tithi of the Āshvayuja month (this is called Vijayadashamī) and there are two Āshvayuja months caused by the existence of an adhika Āshvayuja, the first adhika month will not see the festival, and the festival will be observed only in the second nija month.
		For example, the festival of Mahāshivarātri which is to be observed on the fourteenth tithi of the Māgha krishna paksha was, in 1983 CE, observed on the corresponding tithi of Pausha-Māgha kshaya krishna paksha, since in that year, Pausha and Māgha were rolled into one, as we mentioned above.

		Tithi is the Vedic date of the luni-solar calendar and is a measure of the angular displacement of Moon from Sun.
		Tithi is the period in which the angular displacement of Moon from Sun increases by exactly 12º.
		Though birthday as per the luni-solar calendar is traditionally celebrated when janma tithi returns in the same lunar month (which is identified based on the signs occupied by Sun and Moon at the beginning of the month), this definition was probably adopted for ease in civil usage.

		The lunar tithis are also significant: there are certain pujas for each tithi (general acts of worship appropriate to each day), and certain major pujas fall on particular tithis.

		Although it is essential to have the knowledge of arithmetical calculations to understand Indian Astrology, but for the benefit of the common people, astrologers have devised a calendar (Panchang) with the help of which, and simple arithmetical calculations, one can have knowledge about planets, good or bad for him.
		Tithi is considered as the first phase or portion (Kala) of the 16 phases of the Moon.
		The 15 days, commencing from Amavasya (the last day of the dark half of a lunar month) to Purnima (Full moon), are called the Tithis of the Shukla-Paksha (brighter phase) and the days commencing from Purnima to Amavasya are called Krishna Paksha (darker phase).

		In the case of a tithi not at all occurring at a sunrise, it is said to be tithi ks'aya or tithi loss.
		Similarly, plain numbers from 01 to 30 are insufficient to indicate what tithi is the one of this solar day, due to the phenomenon of adhika and ks'aya tithi-s.
		It is hence necessary to prefix, in the case of an extra tithi, E, and in the case of the previous real tithi, R, to the tithi number.

		A man by worshipping the sun god on such a Tithi in the month of Magha, conquers all his enemies; whereas a suppliant for the birth of a child, should practise the Vrata on the same day.
		Since, in the month of Bhadra, Krishna was born on the midnight of such a Tithi, marked by the asterism Rohini, the Tithi is known as the Jyanti (victorious) Ashtami.
		By observing a fast on such a Tithi in the month of Bhadra, a man becomes absolved of all impieties, accumulated in the course of his seven successive rebirths.

		When I talk of the movements of the planets I'm generally referring to exactly what NASA uses and what astronomers use, what the world has come to know of the movements of the planets, which is that the Earth and other rotate around the Sun.
		I will print you an accurate listing of the tithis for EUGENE because actually it has to be done for the city you are in, not "the West Coast" etc...this is yet another reason why they might be different.
		The idea of all this is this: If one knows the nakshatras well, and the nature of the yogas, karans, tithis, and other parts of the panchang, then one can supposedly use it to choose good and bad times for the various elections we make in life.
