Question 1

What is Tithi Pravesha?

Accepted Answer

Tithi Pravesha is the Vedic birthday — the exact moment each year when the same lunar tithi (day) as your birth recurs. It is used in Vedic astrology for annual predictions, similar to the Solar Return in Western astrology but based on the lunar calendar.

Question 2

How is Tithi Pravesha different from a regular birthday?

Accepted Answer

Your regular birthday follows the solar (Gregorian) calendar and falls on the same date each year. Tithi Pravesha follows the lunar calendar — the exact tithi of your birth — so the date shifts each year, typically by 10-12 days.

Question 3

What does the Tithi Lord indicate?

Accepted Answer

Each tithi is ruled by a planet (the Tithi Lord). The lord of your birth tithi influences the theme of your Vedic year — for example, a Jupiter-ruled tithi suggests expansion and wisdom, while a Saturn-ruled one indicates discipline and karmic lessons.
