Today, almost everyone follows the Gregorian calendar (western method) to celebrate their birthday. In the pursuit of copying the customs of the English calendar, we\u2019re slowly forgetting the Indian culture and the tradition of following the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickastro.com\/hindu-calendar\">Hindu calendar<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to astrology, if you\u2019re celebrating your birthday as per the Tithi (lunar day) or as per your <\/span><b>star birthday<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s considered more auspicious and spiritually beneficial for you.<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The day and month you\u2019re born to define a lot about your personality, that\u2019s unique to you and also links out a connection between the planetary energies and your date of birth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As per the customs of the Indian tradition, importance is given to the position of the Sun and the Moon. Multiple regions within the Indian subcontinent follow the position of the Sun through various zodiac signs to locate your birthdate as per your birth star. You must also check and ensure that the star extends to a minimum period of 6 ghatis (Nazhika), <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">which<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is 2 hours and 24 minutes after sunrise. If it is shorter than this, you are advised to celebrate your birthday on the previous date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The traditional Vedic astrology uses your birthday as one of the five essential elements to create your birth chart (or Kundli). The five elements being the date, month, time, year, and place of birth. Use our<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickastro.com\/free-astrology-online\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">free astrology online<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> service to generate your detailed Kundli.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Significance of Tithis in Birthday<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tithis plays a significant role in determining your birthday from the ancient ages. In the initial days, Hindus used to celebrate their birthdays based on the Vedic date (Tithi) of the lunisolar calendar instead of relying on the Gregorian calendar.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most of the Indian festivals commemorate the birthdays of deities and are based on the lunisolar calendar of Tithi. For example, Lord Rama\u2019s birthday falls on the Shukla Navami Tithi of Chaitra month every year, while Lord Krishna\u2019s birthday falls on the Krishna Ashtami Tithi of the Shravana month.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many astrologers believe that if you have an <\/span><b>Amavasya birth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it\u2019s a bad omen for you. Since the Moon as a planet guarantees the well-being of every individual, as per Vedic astrology, its combustion can impact your mental health specially if you\u2019re born during the Amavasya &amp; Pratipada Tithi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If we look at the technical aspects of the term \u201cTithi\u201d, it is the Vedic date of the lunisolar calendar and measures the angular displacement of the Moon from the Sun. It\u2019s the period between two consecutive full moons\u2019 (exact 180\u00b0 displacement of the Moon from the Sun) is about 29.5 civil days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each Tithi is a measure of 12\u00b0 and there are fifteen Tithis in both the waxing phase (Shukla paksha), and fifteen Tithis in the waning phase (Krishna Paksha).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Benefits of Celebrating Birthdays as per Tithis<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Time and again, it has been proven that celebrating your birthday as per Tithis can benefit you in myriad forms. Here are some of the most notable benefits:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You get to feel positive vibrations at the time of your birth and the Tithi that\u2019s favorable for you<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Janam-tithi makes available the favorable principles as per your birth time so that you get the maximum benefit while performing aukshan (the ritual of lighting lamps to welcome the divine waves on Earth). It also helps because the position of celestial bodies like the stars and constellations coincide with that of your birth.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrating birthdays by Tithi helps one attain more spiritual benefits which isn\u2019t the case when the celebrations happen according to the English dates and months.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It makes you self-introspect on your past achievements and your probable goals for the upcoming future.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Get your<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clickastro.com\/education-horoscope\"> <b>Education Horoscope<\/b><\/a><b> Here<\/b><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><b>How to Celebrate Birthday <\/b><b>for Long Life and Prosperity<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health should always be our priority irrespective of the age we\u2019re of.
