Today's tithi is Chaturthi, in the Shukla paksha, the waxing half of the lunar month. The Moon moves through Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra, pada 1. The vara is Budhavara, and the panchang's remaining limbs are Siddha yoga and Vanija karana.
What is Siddha yoga?
Siddha is the twenty first of the 27 nithya yogas, and the word means accomplished or perfected, the state of a thing that has come out right.
It shares a root with Siddhi, the sixteenth, and the two are related without being duplicates. Siddhi names the act of accomplishing and Siddha names the condition of being accomplished, so this yoga sits with things that are already good rather than with the effort of making them so.
The classical associations are with skilled work, with practices that have been kept up for a long time, and with undertakings begun by people who know what they are doing. The tradition treats it as one of the steadier yogas for beginnings.
The word also appears elsewhere in the panchang, since certain combinations of a tithi group with a particular vara are given the name Siddha in the classical scheme. That overlap is a good reminder to read which limb a term belongs to before reading what it means.
