Panchang is a calendar used in Vedic astrology to determine auspicious and inauspicious times for carrying out day-to-day tasks based on the prevailing planetary positions. It consists of five elements – Vaar, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana. The essence of Panchang is the inter-relationship between the Sun (our soul) and the Moon (mind) on a daily basis. Panchang is used to understand various branches of Vedic astrology such as birth, election, prashna (astrological), religious calendar and the energy of the day. The calendar of our birth day reflects our emotions, temperament and nature. It can provide more information about who we are and how we feel. This can amplify planetary influences and give us additional characteristics that we cannot understand, based solely on our birth chart. The calendar is the life force energy that nourishes the birth chart.
