Classification Of Tithis

Tithis are also broken down into five groups given below:

The Tithis are divided into five groups:

   1. Nanda (Ananda or Joyous) tithis - Prathipada (1st), Shasti (6th) and Ekadashi

(11th) bestows happiness and joy

 

   2. Bhadra (Arogya or Mangala or Healthy) tithis - Dwitiya (2nd), Saptami (7th) and Dwadashi (12th) good for stating new work

   3. Jaya (Victory) Tithis -Tuesday Tritiya (3rd), Ashtami (8th) and Trtayodashi

(13th) good for winning over enemies

  4. Rikkta (Loss or Nashta) Tithis - Saturday Chathurthi (4th), Navami (9th) and

Chaturdasi (14th) not good for any important work, so it is avoided

  5. Poorna (Sampoorna - Full Moon or New Moon) Tithis -Thursday Panchami

(5th), Dashami (10th) and Amavasya (15th)(New Moon) or Poornima (15th) very good to complete all jobs

Nanda	Fire	1, 6, 11	Friday
Badra	Earth	2, 7, 12	Wednesday
Jaya	Akash	3, 8, 13	Tuesday
Rikta	Water	4, 9, 14	Saturday
Purna	Vayu	5, 10, 15	Thursday

Here Trittya tithi (3rd ) is ruled by Mars but as it is Jaya (ruled by akash/Jupiter) so it will bring two people together, as akash is the binding force (that keeps the jiva in the body). 

Similarly Ekadasi tithi (11th) is ruled by Mars and it is Nanda (ruled by fire-Mars) so the fighting is very strong. Mars is passionate, energetic, and creates conflict, it is not good for marriage, though it is good for war and leadership.

When certain Tithis line up with specific Varas (days) they are considered auspicious and therefore work on those days is accomplished successfully.

If Pratipat (1st ), Shashti (6th ), or Dwadashi (12th ) fall on a Friday, it is considered auspicious
