Dagdha Signs in a Tithi

Now what is a Tithi, this is not the Georgian date but the Vedic lunar day is called Tithi. Tithi is the mutual relationship between Sun and Moon. On Amavasya Sun and Moon are closely conjunct. The longitudinal distance between the two is zero degree. Moon being the fast moving covers 12 to 15 degrees of the distance in 1 day. The longitudinal difference of 12 degree between Sun and Moon constitutes Prathama / Pratipada Tithi. And then next 12 degree means Dwitiya and every 12 degree movement of Moon adds 1 Tithi and the difference of 180 degree brings the Sun and Moon opposite to each other and we call this Purnima or the full Moon. From there Moon starts decreasing and constituting Tithi of Krishna Paksha.

Tithi one is born in shows the need and ability for relationship, emotions, sexuality and temperament.

Now coming to Tithi Suunya, Tithi as already explained and literal meaning of Suunya is Null, Void, nothingness. For every Suunya Tithi two Zodiac signs /Rashis become ineffective. Or in other way we call them Dagdha Rashi or rashi under fire. Dagdha means "burnt". Each Tithi has two Dagdha rashis, Chaturdashi Tithi has 4 but Purnima and Amavasya has none.

These Dagdha Tithis in any horoscope give malefic results. The house where Dagdha Rashi fall lose their power or it will give results only after strong efforts are put in.

 It is always good if this Dagdha Rashi   falls in a Trik Bhava, since a negative Rashi falling in a negative Bhava/house will give good results.

In case either of the Dagdha Rashi falls in a good Bhava/house, it is destined to spoil some good traits of the concerned Bhava/house.

If a benefic planet is posited in Dagdha Rashi at the same time it is in retrograde motion, it will give excellent results during its period, or sub period. But in case this benefic happens to be in its direct motion it will give worst results in its period or sub period. Up to some extent this rule is applicable during transit also.

If a malefic planet is posited in a Dagdha Rashi but in its direct motion it will give excellent results during its period and its sub period. But in case this malefic happens to be in its retrograde motion, it will give worst results during its period and sub period. Again up to some extent this rule applies during transit also.

Since Rahu’s and Ketu’s natural motion is retrograde only and they never move in a direct motion, hence placement of these two planets in a Dagdha Rashi will always give excellent results during their periods and sub period. But out of the two, Rahu will give much better results as compared to Ketu.

In case a Dagdha Rashi  is occupied by two planets, out of which one is malefic and other is benefic and this malefic is in direct motion and the benefic in a retrograde motion, in such a case in one planet’s major period the sub period of other planet will give excellent result. In case, as per rules if malefic is in its direct motion and the benefic is retrograde, a major period is that of malefic planet” will give excellent results, but as and when the sub period of benefic runs it will give bad results and vice versa.
