GANDANTHA TIMES
Junction times of certain
constellations is dangerous. The first
ghati at the commencement of
Aswani, Makha and Moola and the last
ghaties of Revati, Aslesha and Jyesta
are said to be dangerous times.
Junction of lunar days of amavasya
and padyami, Panchami and Shasti,
poornima and padyami, are
dangerous. So are the lagna sandhi
times corresponding to gandantha
asterisms, diva ratri sandhies, twilight
time are also said to be dangerous.

and its lord or Moon or the Navamsa
lord are asthngatha.
