Namaskaar Swapnil ji,
we think you have understood to an extent.
As for the use of this percentage for Horoscopy. We think you missed this post of ours. We copy it for your benefit.
------------------------------------------------------
We were talking about the measure of a Tithi only.
This means each degree difference in a Tithi can be taken to be a Raashi.
This is a simple way of explaining. Actually the starting and the ending time of a Tithi is noted and the difference calculated. Jhora gives this as the percentage remaining. From this we calculate.
Steps:
The span of a Tithi is calculated in HH:MM:SS. say this to be 'A'.
THe span from the start of the Tithi and birth is also likewise found. say 'B'.
now A divided by twelve is 'X'.
Then 'B' is divided by 'X'. The quotient plus one represents a Raashi. say if the quotient is five, then five plus one is six. Sixth Raashi is Kanyaa and this Raashi in the Raashi chart will show a lot about the purpose of creation of the native.
------------------------------
Let us take a n example and work it out.
The data on which we work:

BTW we hope everyone on this course knows the basic details required for casting a Chart.
They are:
DOB, TOB, POB and SON.
DOB means Date of birth given as DDMMYYYY.
In some countries they follow MMDDYYYY.
This causes confusion as different countries follow different system of writing dates. So it is always better to know the name of the month of birth or epoch.
TOB means the time of birth as HHMMSS in the 24 hrs format. It should be clarified from the native as to whether this is Standard time or local time or universal time. Even here confusion arises as some countries are vast and tend to have different Standard time for different places.
Secondly there are summer time or Day light saving time. During this time the clock is advanced by one hour or so.
During world war the clock was advanced by one hour in many countries. If the birth is during the WW2 it is always better to cross check.
Plus in a Country like India where the normal practice is to take the start of a day from Sunrise, if the birth was before Sunrise (specially just after midnight) the Date noted will be of the previous day. This is very tricky and we have come across many cases like this.
The most important consideration is that almost no time given is accurate. They are just approximations and sometimes based on very vague memories. Plus add to this that there are many definitions of Birth time. Many different Authorities (both contemporary and ancient) give different definitions of it.
(Who said a Jyotishis job was an easy one?)
POB means place of birth, if it is in a village then the nearest town is taken. Be careful with softwares having inbuilt Atlases. many towns carry similar names but are far apart geographically.
SON means the sex of the native. There are many rules for finding sex of a horoscope but it is doubtful and no fool proof method exists. It is better to know before hand.
We are sorry for digressing, let us get back to our example.
The balance of Tithi given is 64.35%
So 100 minus 64.35 is equal to 35.65.
We know the whole span of the Tithi is divided into 12 Raashis.
Therefore 100/12= 8.33333333...............
for simplicity we take this as 8.33.
Dividing the passed span of Tithi, (which is 35.65 in this case) by 8.33 we get 4.278, This means four Raashis has passed and the Fifth Raashi is the Raashi current. The fifth raashi is Simha.
Now in this Horoscope Simha is the raashi which shows the purpose of the incarnation of the native.
Hope we have made it clear for now.

Dear Vivek ji
I understood the explanation
Would like to ask does it has any other purpose than to show the balance tithi left when the native was born
I mean effect on the native if the balance of thithi is more or very less
For eg i take today's Eg
krishna chaturthi 16:29 to next day 13:27
total tithi is of 20.58 hrs
so a person born at 17th oct 2008 at 19:30 will have approx near to 100% balance of thiti and another 18th oct 2008 at 13:26 will have near to 0% balance of thiti
So two natives born in same thiti of moon then do waning moon will have different effect on individual (I mean effect only with respect to moons thiti )
