New Moon/Full Moon

Timing in Vedic Astrology

The qualities of the day of the New Moon (Amavasya):

Amavasya (New Moon, 30-th) Tithi is favorable for religious rituals and meditation, study, ascetic practices, for making offerings to those departed, and for giving gifts. Not good for heath, but can be an important time for bringing a new healing energy to those who are sick, particularly chronically ill. Unfortunate for most things, including putting on gemstones, travel, sexual activity. Generally a good day to remain introverted and inactive.



New Moon - Full Moon

The qualities of the day of the full Moon (Purnima): Purnima (full Moon, 15-th) Tithi is favorable for all good actions: building houses, putting on gemstones, and for career gains. However, better for religious rituals, fasting, contemplation and meditation. Excellent for worship of Goddess, who is the ruling deity of the Mon. generally a time when we experience the fruit of our actions during the month, and brining things to completion, but not so useful for starting new ventures. Unfavorable for travel.
