Panchang — Sunday, 5 July 2026
Tithi: Shashti (Sixth Tithi), Shukla Paksha — waxing phase, energies building toward fullness | Nakshatra: Purva Phalguni (ruled by Venus) — the star of rest, luxury, and creative expression | Yoga: Shobhana Yoga — auspicious for new beginnings, beauty-related pursuits, and artistic endeavours
Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:12 AM – 09:00 AM (Brahma Muhurat extended window) and 11:30 AM – 01:00 PM (Abhijit Muhurat)
Planetary Note: Saturn holds steady in Kumbha (retrograde), asking all signs to review commitments; Jupiter transiting late Vrishabha expands material wisdom; Mars in Mithuna sharpens communication and creates restlessness; Venus in Mithuna alongside Mars adds charm but also friction in partnerships. Sunday's solar energy amplifies leadership instincts across all rashis.
Today’s Observance: 5 July 2026 falls during the auspicious month of Ashadha in the Hindu calendar. Devotees of Lord Vishnu observe Shayani Ekadashi approaching this week (marking the beginning of Chaturmas — the four sacred months of Lord Vishnu's cosmic rest). This is a powerful period to begin regular Vishnu Sahasranama recitation and Tulsi puja at sunrise. Avoid initiating major life changes such as weddings, housewarming ceremonies, or long-distance relocations during Chaturmas unless astrologically advised.
Today’s Rashifal
Based on Vedic sidereal zodiac (Lahiri Ayanamsa). Check your Moon sign for the most accurate reading.
Mesh / Aries (April 14 – May 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
Your ruling planet Mars is currently in Mithuna, activating your third house of courage, initiative, and siblings — this is a rare window to launch a project you have been hesitating on. A conversation with a younger colleague or sibling could unlock a practical solution you hadn't considered. Financially, avoid impulsive purchases this afternoon; channel that energy into research instead.
Lucky Colour: Brick Red | Lucky Number: 9
Draft that proposal or business idea today — Mars in the third house gives your words both sharpness and conviction.
Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
Jupiter, your second house lord, is still transiting your own sign, blessing financial acumen and family relationships — use today's Sunday calm to have a long-overdue honest conversation with a family elder about property or savings. Your instincts about money are sharper than usual; trust them. However, Saturn's retrograde in your tenth house warns against making any sudden career changes this week — gather facts first.
Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6
Sit with your family budget or investment portfolio this morning — Jupiter's clarity in your sign will surface a smarter allocation you've been overlooking.
Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
With both Mars and Venus transiting your own sign simultaneously, today crackles with social energy and creative tension — romance is highly activated, but so is the potential for misunderstandings if you speak before you think. A professional contact may reach out with an unexpected collaboration; evaluate it carefully rather than jumping in. Your physical energy is high — schedule a workout or outdoor walk before noon to balance restlessness.
Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5
Pause three seconds before responding in any heated conversation today — Mars and Venus together make you both magnetic and quick-tempered.
Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)
Ruling Planet: Moon
The Moon, your ruling planet, is traversing Purva Phalguni in Simha — your second house of speech, wealth, and self-worth. Emotions around money and self-value surface today; use this awareness productively by revisiting a salary negotiation or a pending financial discussion you've avoided. A creative hobby pursued this afternoon — cooking, music, or writing — will restore emotional equilibrium far better than scrolling through your phone.
Lucky Colour: Pearl Silver | Lucky Number: 2
Write down three things your skill-set is genuinely worth — then match that list to what you're currently charging or earning.
Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)
Ruling Planet: Sun
The Moon is in your own sign today in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni — this is your power day. Leaders emerge from Simha natives in moments exactly like this, when the mind is clear and the heart is generous. A responsibility you carry at work or in your community calls for your direct involvement; step forward rather than delegating. Relationships with children or creative partners are especially warm and productive today.
Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1
Take the lead on a group decision today — Purva Phalguni's energy rewards those who embrace authority with warmth and fairness.
Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Saturn's retrograde in your sixth house is rewinding health and daily-routine karma — old habits that undermine your productivity are asking to be re-examined, not re-experienced. Today is ideal for establishing a new morning discipline: a short walk, a dietary change, or 15 minutes of pranayama. In professional matters, a detail you flagged weeks ago but others dismissed will prove correct — document it clearly today.
Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 14
Replace one unhealthy habit with a single small ritual today — Saturn retrograde rewards those who reform quietly rather than dramatically.
Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
Venus, your ruling planet, is transiting Mithuna in your ninth house — this is an unusually auspicious transit for higher education, international connections, and spiritual exploration. If you've been considering enrolling in a course, applying for a foreign opportunity, or reconnecting with a mentor abroad, initiate that contact today. Domestically, an older relative needs your presence more than your advice — just showing up is the remedy.
Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 7
Send that email to the professor, consultant, or overseas contact you've been drafting in your head — Venus in the ninth opens doors that feel distant.
Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
Mars in your eighth house of transformation and shared finances activates deep psychological and financial themes — a joint account, insurance matter, or inheritance question may surface today or this week. Rather than reacting with suspicion, approach shared financial conversations with transparency; your natural investigative instinct is an asset, not a weapon. Spiritually, this Sunday is well-suited for Hanuman puja or Rudra abhishek — Mars energy finds its highest outlet in devotion.
Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8
Review a shared financial document — policy, joint account, or EMI schedule — with a calm mind today; clarity now prevents conflict later.
Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter, your ruling planet, is in your sixth house — this placement, while not Dhanu's favourite, is building enormous resilience and the capacity to outwork your competition. Today, a Sunday, offers a rare chance to get ahead of the week: organise your workspace, clear pending emails, and pre-plan your calendar. In relationships, a partner or close friend needs emotional support rather than solutions — be present and listen.
Lucky Colour: Turmeric Yellow | Lucky Number: 3
Spend one hour this Sunday organising your professional workspace or to-do list — Jupiter in the sixth rewards disciplined preparation with surprising victories.
Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn, your ruling planet, is retrograde in Kumbha — your second house of family, finances, and speech. A recurring family tension around money or resources is asking for a patient, structured resolution, not avoidance. Today is a productive day to consult a financial advisor or draw up a proper budget. At work, a senior figure may re-evaluate a past decision in your favour — stay visible and professionally composed rather than laying low.
Lucky Colour: Dark Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 10
Create a written spending and savings plan this week — Saturn retrograde in the second house rewards those who bring order to financial chaos.
Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
With Saturn retrograde in your own sign, this is a deeply personal period of identity review and course correction — you are being asked to separate who you genuinely are from roles others have assigned to you. This introspective Sunday is ideal for journaling, meditation, or a long solo walk. Professionally, resist any pressure to make a major announcement or commitment before mid-July; the retrograde wants you to refine, not launch.
Lucky Colour: Ultramarine Blue | Lucky Number: 11
Dedicate 30 minutes today to writing about what you want your life to look like in 12 months — Saturn retro in Lagna is powerful therapy for self-redefinition.
Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter's transit through your third house is sharpening your communication and courage — a skill you've been quietly developing is ready to be shared with a wider audience. Whether it's a blog post, a training session, or presenting an idea at work, today's Shobhana Yoga amplifies your credibility. In health, pay attention to your feet and lower back; a short stretching routine before bed tonight will prevent stiffness from accumulating through the week.
Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 12
Share one piece of your expertise today — write a LinkedIn post, teach a colleague a skill, or record a voice note that becomes your next creative project.
Vastu Tip of the Day
On Sundays, the solar direction — East — governs your home's vitality. According to Vishwakarma Prakash, the eastern wall and windows should be unobstructed to allow prana (life-force energy) to flow freely. Today, open your east-facing windows for at least one hour in the morning, clear any clutter from the eastern corner of your main living room, and place a small pot of fresh flowers or a healthy green plant there. This activates Surya's blessings in the home and supports health, authority, and clarity for all residents.
Vedic Wisdom
As Maharishi Parasara teaches in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are not masters of fate — they are indicators of karma ripe for resolution.' Today's chart is not a sentence; it is an invitation. The awareness you bring to this Sunday is itself the remedy. Act with intention, speak with kindness, and let the planetary energies serve your highest purpose. — Yogi Arya, IndiaWorldEye
