1. Prathama tithi - The effect (phala) of Prathama Tithi birth may include career difficulties or
family-related challenges.
2. Dwitiya tithi - challenges may often involve the father or paternal relatives. These may show up
as strained relationships, lack of support, or issues inherited from the father's side.
3. Tritiya Tithi -challenges may arise in family matters (kudumbam), ancestral lineage or heritage
(poorvigam), and government or authority-related issues (arasu sambandha vishayam).
4. Chaturthi Tithi – a person born under this tithi works hard for the family with responsibility and
care, but their efforts may go unrecognized, and at times they may face neglect or ill-treatment
from family members.
5. Panchami Tithi –A person born on Panchami Tithi may suffer the effects of ancestral karmas,
particularly if their ancestors have committed Panchamahapatakas (the five great sins as
described in dharmic texts). The native may face unexpected hardships or suffering in life that are
not due to their own actions, but are the result of ancestral transgressions.
The five Panchamahapatakas are:
a. Destroying or misusing the property of Lord Shiva, the king, or the community/people
b. Selfishly acquiring (abaharithal) family property — destroying or keeping blood-related
inheritance for one’s own use without properly dividing or sharing it
c. Selfishly acquiring (abaharithal) the property of those without children or heirs
d. Misleading the wife of a guru, betraying the guru, or breaking trust
e. Insulting or dishonoring women — including forcefully abusing or killing women for dowry and
other similar sins.
Maha-pataka refers to the extreme forms of these sins, bringing even greater karmic
consequences.
6. Shashti Tithi – A native born on Shashti Tithi may face obstructions in education and learning, as
well as difficulties related to the Kuladevata (family deity), often arising from forgotten or
disrupted ancestral worship. For female natives, issues such as miscarriage or delayed conception
may also occur.
7. Saptami Tithi – Natives born on Saptami Tithi may grow up away from one or both parents,
sometimes due to a parent’s hardships or even death, leading to emotional struggles. Yet, they
usually uphold respect and dignity throughout life.

8. Astami tithi - Natives born on Ashtami tithi are self-made, independent, and able to create their
own path in life.
9. Navami Tithi - Natives born in this tithi may face struggles related to their father, such as
separation, unfulfilled duties, or challenges connected to responsibilities and legacy.
10. Dashami Tithi - Natives born on in this tithi may experience separation from loved ones or
difficulties in maintaining close family ties. They may face situations where external forces or
misunderstandings prevent them from fulfilling family duties, leading to emotional pain similar to
King Dasharatha’s sorrow in the Ramayana.
11. Ekadashi Tithi – Natives born in this tithi often act as ladders, helping others rise with their
support and guidance. Yet, they may struggle to progress in their own life, facing challenges in
personal growth despite uplifting those around them.
12. Dwadashi Tithi – Natives born in this tithi may face challenges after marriage, such as
misunderstandings, lack of support, or stress from career and family responsibilities. These
difficulties can create disharmony in married life, making it hard to overcome obstacles despite
their efforts.
13. Thrayodashi Tithi born people often face struggles in all areas of life. Whether in personal
matters, career, or relationships, they may feel constantly burdened with obstacles, leading to a
life marked by ongoing hardships and emotional or physical strain.
14. Chaturdashi Tithi born natives are intelligent and creative problem-solvers. They have a natural
ability to navigate complex situations and often find unique, innovative solutions even when none
seem obvious.
15. Amavasya Tithi born natives often carry ancestral karma, with their life influenced by unresolved
issues from their forefathers. The Lagna is considered dark due to these past karmic imprints,
making their path harder to predict. Such ancestral influences may create obstacles and challenges
in shaping their future direction.
16. Purnima Tithi born natives have a bright Lagna, symbolizing clarity, virtue, and positive energy.
They are noble by nature, with a strong sense of purpose, and are inclined toward spiritual and
personal growth.
