Reasoning
Joy (Nanda) conflicts with Empty/Aggression (Rikta). Nanda Tithis thrive on positivity and social connection, while Rikta Tithis carry intense, chaotic energy.
Compatibility analysis is based on classical Vedic texts and Tithi group dynamics. Individual chart analysis should also consider planetary positions, Nakshatra, and other factors.
