Today's tithi is Dashami, in the Krishna paksha, the waning half of the lunar month. The Moon moves through Ardra nakshatra, pada 2. The vara is Ravivara, and the panchang's remaining limbs are Siddhi yoga and Vanija karana.

Dashami in Krishna paksha

Krishna Dashami is the tenth tithi of the dark fortnight, from 288 to 300 degrees of separation, a Purna tithi the tradition assigns to Yama in his aspect as dharma.

The waning crescent rises in the small hours now and is thin enough that a bright dawn can hide it. Five tithis remain before Amavasya, and each one takes a further slice out of what is left.

Dashami closes the Purna set with the fifth and the fifteenth, and the classical associations are with duty discharged, with formal conclusions and with what is owed being paid. Set in the dark fortnight, that reads as the settling up rather than the celebration, the accounting that follows a thing rather than the thing itself.

It is a workable day for looking at obligations honestly, including the ones you have taken on quietly. That is uncomfortable rather than ominous, and the tradition is clear that the discomfort has a purpose and an end.
