There's a whole section of rules on lunar days in Jyotish that take into

consideration such phenomenon as Shoonya ("uselessness", "infertility") Tithi.

Basic rule says that Shoonya Tithis are inauspicious and the one fails to achieve
any success in works started during such kind of Tithi.
There are 3 types of combinations that create Shoonya Tithis:

 certain Maasa (vedic month) + certain Tithi,

 certain Nakshatra (constellation) + certain Tithi,
 certain Lagna (ascendant) + certain Tithi.

Thus, if one of such "Shoonya" combinations exists for a certain period of time,
this period becomes very inauspicious for starting any work and should be
avoided. Tables with all Shoonya Tithi combinations are given below:

Taking into consideration everything mentioned above, during the vedic month
Vaishakha Krishna Dwadashi becomes Maasa Shoonya Tithi. Ashlesha Nakshatra
also activates Tithi Shoonya state if it falls on Krishna Dwadashi. Lagna
(ascendant or rising sign) during Krishna Ekadashi becomes Tithi Shoonya for
times when it is Dhanu (Sagittarius) or Meena (Pisces).
