What Navami means
A tithi is a lunar day: the time the Moon takes to move 12° further from the Sun. Thirty make a lunar month, fifteen in the waxing half (Shukla paksha) and fifteen in the waning half (Krishna paksha). Navami comes twice a month, once in each half.
Rikta, the empty: traditionally avoided for new beginnings, though good for clearing and ending things.
