🌙 What is Panchak?
Panchak is an approximately 5-day period each month when the Moon transits through the last 5 nakshatras — Dhanishta (2nd half), Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati. This occurs when the Moon is between 300° and 360° (Aquarius–Pisces). The type of Panchak is determined by the weekday on which it begins.
