What Is Tithi Rashifal?
Tithi Rashifal combines two concepts commonly found in traditional Hindu astrology and the Nepali Panchang: tithi and rashifal.
A tithi is a lunar day calculated from the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon. Rashifal refers to a traditional horoscope interpretation associated with a zodiac sign, date, or astrological configuration.
Depending on the calendar or astrology service, Tithi Rashifal may help users explore lunar-day information, zodiac-related interpretations, and traditional daily guidance.
The exact features and calculations available depend on the particular tool and its calendar data.
What Is Tithi in the Nepali Calendar?
Tithi is a lunar-calendar concept used in Hindu calendar traditions. Unlike a simple date number in the Gregorian calendar, a tithi is based on the relative positions of the Sun and Moon.
The lunar month is traditionally divided into 30 tithis. These are grouped into two lunar phases, known as paksha:
The waxing lunar phase, traditionally associated with the period from the new moon toward the full moon.
The waning lunar phase, traditionally associated with the period from the full moon toward the new moon.
Each paksha contains 15 tithis. The names of the tithis are traditionally used in Nepali Panchang, religious calendars, and festival descriptions.
The 15 Tithis in the Lunar Calendar
The following tithi names are commonly used in traditional Hindu lunar calendars.
| Tithi Number | Common Name | Traditional Context |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pratipada | First lunar day of a paksha |
| 2 | Dwitiya | Second lunar day |
| 3 | Tritiya | Third lunar day |
| 4 | Chaturthi | Fourth lunar day |
| 5 | Panchami | Fifth lunar day |
| 6 | Shashthi | Sixth lunar day |
| 7 | Saptami | Seventh lunar day |
| 8 | Ashtami | Eighth lunar day |
| 9 | Navami | Ninth lunar day |
| 10 | Dashami | Tenth lunar day |
| 11 | Ekadashi | Eleventh lunar day |
| 12 | Dwadashi | Twelfth lunar day |
| 13 | Trayodashi | Thirteenth lunar day |
| 14 | Chaturdashi | Fourteenth lunar day |
| 15 | Purnima or Amavasya | Full moon or new moon tithi |
The final tithi is named differently depending on the lunar phase. Purnima refers to the full moon, while Amavasya refers to the new moon.
What Is Rashifal?
Rashifal is a traditional horoscope interpretation associated with zodiac signs. In Nepali and Hindu astrology, rashifal is commonly presented for the twelve rashis.
People may read rashifal for general reflection on daily activities, relationships, work, family, and personal interests. Interpretations vary according to the astrologer, calendar system, and astrological method used.
Traditional rashifal should not be considered a guaranteed prediction of future events. It is best understood as a cultural and interpretive practice.
The 12 Rashis in Traditional Astrology
The zodiac is traditionally divided into twelve rashis. Each rashi has a Sanskrit name and a commonly used English equivalent.
| Rashi | English Zodiac Name | Common Symbol |
|---|---|---|
| Mesha (मेष) | Aries | Ram |
| Vrishabha (वृषभ) | Taurus | Bull |
| Mithuna (मिथुन) | Gemini | Twins |
| Karka (कर्क) | Cancer | Crab |
| Simha (सिंह) | Leo | Lion |
| Kanya (कन्या) | Virgo | Maiden |
| Tula (तुला) | Libra | Scales |
| Vrishchika (वृश्चिक) | Scorpio | Scorpion |
| Dhanu (धनु) | Sagittarius | Archer |
| Makara (मकर) | Capricorn | Sea-goat |
| Kumbha (कुम्भ) | Aquarius | Water-bearer |
| Meena (मीन) | Pisces | Fish |
Tithi and Rashi: What Is the Difference?
Tithi and rashi are often mentioned together in Nepali calendars, but they describe different things.
| Feature | Tithi | Rashi |
|---|---|---|
| Meaning | Lunar day | Zodiac sign |
| Based on | Angular relationship between Sun and Moon | Zodiac divisions used in astrology |
| Number | 15 tithis in each paksha | 12 rashis |
| Common use | Panchang, lunar dates, religious observances | Horoscope and astrological interpretations |
A tithi is not the same as a zodiac sign. A person may be born on a particular tithi while having a different rashi according to the astrological system used to determine their birth chart.
Why Can a Tithi Change During the Day?
Tithis are calculated using the relative positions of the Sun and Moon rather than fixed midnight-to-midnight calendar dates.
Because of this, a tithi may begin or end at a time other than midnight. A single civil day may include part of one tithi and part of another.
This is one reason why printed Nepali Panchang calendars may show a tithi transition time, and why religious observances sometimes depend on specific sunrise or tithi rules.

How Tithi Is Used in Nepali Festivals
Many important festivals and religious observances in Nepal are associated with particular tithis. The lunar calendar plays an important role in determining when these occasions are observed.
The full moon tithi is associated with several religious observances, festivals, and traditional practices.
The new moon tithi is important in several traditional religious and ancestral observances.
The eleventh lunar day of each paksha is associated with fasting and religious observances in many Hindu traditions.

Chaturdashi is associated with various lunar-calendar festivals and religious observances.
Festival dates can depend on the tithi prevailing at a specific time and the traditional observance rules. Always check the calendar for the relevant year and location.
What Is a Nepali Panchang?
A Panchang is a traditional Hindu calendar system that provides information about important astronomical and calendar elements.
Depending on the Panchang, it may include tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, weekday, lunar month, sunrise, sunset, and other traditional calendar details.
The lunar day determined by the relative positions of the Sun and Moon.
A lunar mansion used in traditional Indian astrology and calendar calculations.
A Panchang element calculated from the positions of the Sun and Moon.
A half-tithi unit used in traditional Panchang calculations.
The weekday, such as Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.
