Today's tithi is Trayodashi, in the Shukla paksha, the waxing half of the lunar month. The Moon moves through Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra, pada 2. The vara is Shanivara, and the panchang's remaining limbs are Vyaghata yoga and Taitila karana.
What is Vyaghata yoga?
Vyaghata is the thirteenth of the 27 nithya yogas, and its name means a striking against or a collision, which puts it among the nine yogas the classical scheme marks for care.
The image is impact: two things moving into the same space. The tradition uses it for opposition and for the friction that appears when plans meet each other rather than when a plan meets bad luck, which is a meaningful difference.
The classical handbooks keep it away from beginnings that need everyone pulling the same way, and they leave available the work that is honest about disagreement: negotiation where the positions really are opposed, competition, and the moment when something that has been avoided has to be said out loud.
A collision is a cost and it is also information, because you find out where the edges are. Whether that is worth the bruise depends entirely on what you are trying to do, and the decision belongs to you rather than to the day.
