Purnimanta month convention for Canberra, District of Canberra Central, Australian Capital Territory, 2600, Australia. The Hindu day runs sunrise to sunrise, so a Tithi or Nakshatra ending “after midnight” still belongs to this day. Sidereal positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa; other almanacs can differ by a few minutes. Methodology

Rahu Kaal, Abhijit Muhurat, Choghadiya and Hora are fractions of the local day, so they move with sunrise and sunset. Canberra sits at 35.28°S, 149.13°E, 571 m above sea level, in the Australia/Sydney time zone.
Tithi and Nakshatra end at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time differs, and the Tithi at Canberra's own sunrise decides which date a festival or vrat falls on here.
Shukla Chaturdashi is the tithi at sunrise (06:41 AM) in Canberra and lasts until 01:30 PM. The tithi at sunrise names the day.
Ashlesha (pada 2), until 09:38 PM.
Sunrise is at 06:41 AM and sunset at 07:53 PM, local time, for Canberra's own coordinates.
09:59 AM to 11:38 AM. Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime, so it moves with Canberra's sunrise and sunset.
12:51 PM to 01:43 PM: the eighth of fifteen daytime muhurtas, around local noon, auspicious for most beginnings.
05:15 AM to 05:58 AM: the 14th of the night's 15 muhurtas, ending one muhurta (about 48 minutes) before sunrise, traditionally kept for prayer and study.
The Moon rises at 07:29 PM and sets at 06:31 AM, Feb 21.
Wait until Chaturdashi ends at 01:30 PM: routine work is fine; keep big starts for a better day. Best window: Amrit 04:35 PM to 06:14 PM. Avoid Rahu Kaal, 09:59 AM to 11:38 AM.
People with Dhanu (Sagittarius) Moon sign, 09:13 PM, Feb 18 to 09:38 PM and people with Makara (Capricorn) Moon sign, 09:38 PM to 11:00 PM, Feb 22: the Moon is in their 8th sign.
A Panchang is the Hindu almanac. For each day it gives five details (panch anga, "five parts"): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (the Moon's lunar mansion), Yoga (a Sun–Moon combination) and Karana (half a Tithi), along with sunrise-based timings used to choose a Muhurat.
Rahu Kaal is one-eighth of the daytime (sunrise to sunset), assigned to Rahu by weekday. Traditionally people avoid starting new ventures, signing agreements or beginning journeys in it. Because it depends on local sunrise and sunset, it differs from city to city and day to day.
A Tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so it can end at any hour. By convention the Tithi prevailing at sunrise names the day, which is why a festival can fall on a different civil date in different places.
