Hindu calender is based upon the lunar date called “Tithi”. Every tithi has its own characteristics. It is important to note that
1) the first half of 8th and full moon(ashtami and poornima) day of shukal paksh
2) the second half of 4th and 11th (chaturthi and ekadashi) day of shukal paksh
3) the first half of 7th and 14th (saptami and Chaturdashi) of krishan paksh and
4) the second half of 3rd and 10th (tritya and dashmi) of krishan paksh
Are so evil that it has capabitility to destroy the good results of a new venture.
As per mythology this period is ruled by Bhadra, a deity who rule over the demons. This deity has a firey tongue and blessed with destructive powers.
Exception to Rule
Exception #1 Just check the sign the moon traveling during the time of Bhadra. If moon is passing through
a) Cancer, Leo, Aquarius or Pisces, then it is said that Bhadra is residing on Prithvi lok(the earth)
b) Aries, Taurus, Gemini or Scorpio then it is said that Bhadra is residing in Swarg lok (the heaven).
c) Virgo, Libra, Saggitarius or Capricorn then it is said Bhadra is residing in Paatal Lok.
Make sure that Bhadra donot resides on earth at the time of performing any new or auspicious work.
Exception #2 The duration of Bhadra period lasts for 12 hrs(approximately) which is equivalent to 30 ghatis (each ghati has 24 minutes) as per hindu system of time calculations. Following are the effects of that duration of those 12 hrs
a) First 2 hrs results total destruction of work
b) Next 24 minutes results very troublesome period
c) Next 4 hors and 24 minutes results in loss of wealth
d) Next 1 hour and 36 minutes results in disputes
e) Next 2 hours and 24 minutes results in loss of health
f) Last 1 hour and 12 minutes results in success.
So only the last 1 hour and 12 minutes could be considered that too in case of emergency!
