Shoonya means null or zero. Each tithi makes shoonya effect on two rashis eccept chaturdashi, amawas, purnima. Chaturdashi make shoonya four rashis while amawas and purnima affects none. Tithi is the date according to the Hindu lunar calendar. The Hindu lunar calendar consists of a dark and a bright fortnight also called Krishna paksha and Shukla Paksha. Tithi is said to be complete when moon has 12 degree from the sun. when moon complete 12 degree each time one tithi is comptete. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month. It is important to note that starting or ending of a Tithi depends upon the degree of Moon from that of Sun therefore a Tithi ends or starts at any time in a day not like the Modern Time when a date changes at midnight.There are 30 tithis in a lunar month. In Indian Astrology, the calculation of the Tithis starts from Pratipada (The first day in each half of the lunar month) of the Shukla-Paksha. Tithis are as follows : Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthee, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navmi, Dashmi, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, and Purnima. Lords of the Shoonya tithi rashis and the planets posited therein not able to produce favourable results in most of the cases but exeptions are there.
