Doing so is possible only because we have a system called calendar to keep a track of time. Calendarium, a Latin word is in modern terms spelt as calendar. In India, Panchang was the system used to track not only the dates but also the position of the planets. Shubh Muhurat and impact of celestial bodies have been given adequate importance in Vedic Astrology. Every culture has a similar system or calendar. Some of which are based on the positioning of Sun in the planetary system, some on the position of Moon and some depend on the position of both Sun and Moon.
