The tithi is used to see if an event will be successful. The Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu Tattva (the air element/Saturn) and shows what the mind will experience whether it is going to be a pleasant or painful experience. 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. In picking a Muhurta one must understand the difference between Nakshatra and tithi, both relate to the mind. This is a nice visual, so one can connect the meanings with the actual phases of the Moon. In this way, the Gregorian dates have no astrological relevance. 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. Each Paksha has 15 Tithis, so Shukla Pratipat is the first day of the waxing Moon and Krsna Pratipat is the first day of the waning Moon. Paksha is a half month or half lunar cycle. The waxing Moon is called Shukla Paksha, the waning Moon is called Krsna Paksha.
