Daily Rashifal — Tuesday, 4 August 2026

Today’s Observance: 4 August 2026 falls on Shravana Shukla Ekadashi — observed as Putrada Ekadashi (also called Pavitropana Ekadashi in some regional traditions). This Ekadashi is considered especially auspicious for those seeking progeny, for honouring ancestors, and for Vishnu worship. Devotees observe a fast, recite Vishnu Sahasranama, and offer Tulsi leaves. As the Moon transits Shravana nakshatra — Vishnu's own asterism — the alignment makes today's spiritual observance particularly potent.

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 conjoins Jupiter in the third house of communication, making this a powerful day to pitch ideas, negotiate contracts, or launch a side project you have been quietly nurturing. A conversation with a sibling or close colleague could open an unexpected professional door — do not dismiss it as small talk. Financially, avoid large purchases before 11 AM; the afternoon muhurat strongly favours signing documents or sending important proposals.

Lucky Colour: Deep Red | Lucky Number: 9

Send that email or make that call you have been postponing — Mars and Jupiter together in your third house rarely offer this window twice in a year.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

The Moon's transit through Makara activates your ninth house of fortune and higher wisdom today, making it an excellent day for study, spiritual practice, or long-distance communication with a mentor or guide. If you have been waiting for clarity on a legal matter or a decision about further education, insights will arrive between noon and 3 PM. Saturn's retrograde in Kumbha cautions you against rushing financial decisions related to property or savings — let numbers settle for another week.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Spend 20 minutes this evening reading a text that expands your worldview — Shravana nakshatra rewards those who absorb knowledge with humility.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

With both Mars and Jupiter transiting your own rashi today, you are at the peak of your annual personal power cycle — your words carry unusual authority and your energy is infectious. This is the finest day of the month for leadership moves: presenting a project, asking for a raise, or rebranding yourself professionally. However, the Mars energy also sharpens the tongue, so choose precision over heat in any debate; what you say today will be remembered far longer than usual.

Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5

Document every important conversation in writing today — Mercury's sharpness combined with Mars can create misunderstandings as quickly as breakthroughs.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

Your ruler Moon sits in Makara, the seventh house from Karka, spotlighting partnerships and one-on-one relationships. Whether in marriage, business partnerships, or close friendships, a direct and honest conversation today can resolve a tension that has been simmering since July. Avoid passive-aggressive communication — Saturn retrograde in the eighth from your Moon sign asks you to confront uncomfortable truths with grace rather than deflecting. Health-wise, drink warm water consistently and avoid cold foods late at night.

Lucky Colour: Pearl White | Lucky Number: 2

Schedule a face-to-face conversation with your partner or closest collaborator today rather than texting — the quality of connection will surprise you.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

The Moon transiting your sixth house in Makara under Shravana nakshatra today makes this a day of quiet, methodical productivity rather than spotlight moments — and that is perfectly fine. Clearing backlogs, handling paperwork, finishing health check-ups, or reorganising your workspace will yield disproportionate benefits. Mars and Jupiter in your eleventh house signal that a financial gain or a network introduction made now will compound in your favour over the next six weeks. Stay humble and industrious today; recognition follows shortly.

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1

Book that health check-up or dental appointment you have been postponing — sixth house Moon in Shravana is the universe nudging you to maintain your instrument.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Mars and Jupiter in your tenth house of career create one of the most charged professional days of 2026 for Kanya natives. Authority figures — a boss, a client, or an institutional body — are unusually receptive to your ideas right now. If you have a performance review, funding meeting, or government-related paperwork, initiate it during today's morning muhurat window. On the personal front, avoid letting professional ambition crowd out time for family this evening — the Moon in your fifth house reminds you that your most sustaining victories are relational.

Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 5

Prepare a concise, data-backed summary of your recent achievements and present it to a decision-maker today — tenth house Mars does not tolerate vague pitches.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Jupiter and Mars activating your ninth house bring an excellent day for spiritual reflection, dharmic decisions, and anything connected to publishing, coaching, or teaching. If you have written content, a proposal, or a course waiting to be launched, today's Siddha Yoga is specifically designed for such endeavours. Saturn retrograde in your fifth house gently asks you to revisit a creative project that you abandoned or a commitment to a child that needs renewed attention. Financial investments should be reviewed, not initiated, today.

Lucky Colour: Pastel Blue | Lucky Number: 6

Write down your core beliefs about your work's purpose today — ninth house energy crystallises your philosophy and gives you language that inspires others.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

Mars, your co-ruler, conjunct Jupiter in the eighth house creates a double-edged transit: deep research, inheritance matters, insurance claims, and psychological excavation are all favoured. If you have been waiting for a stalled legal or financial settlement, follow up today — a document or signature that has been delayed may finally move. Emotionally, the eighth house focus can intensify feelings; channel this into journaling or a deep conversation with a trusted counsellor rather than internalising it as anxiety. Physical vitality is strong but avoid reckless physical risks.

Lucky Colour: Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Follow up on any pending insurance claim, joint account matter, or inheritance-related paperwork today — eighth house Mars clears blocked channels.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Your ruling planet Jupiter, amplified by Mars, transits your seventh house of partnerships today, making this perhaps the most relationship-defining day of the month. Business partnerships formed or deepened today carry exceptional long-term potential — a handshake or commitment made under today's Siddha Yoga has classical auspiciousness. For those seeking marriage or a committed relationship, conversations with family about eligible matches will proceed smoothly. Saturn retrograde in your third house asks you to review whether your communication style in relationships has been as open as it could be.

Lucky Colour: Saffron Orange | Lucky Number: 3

If there is a partnership — business or personal — that you have been hesitant to formalise, today's Jupiter-Mars alignment provides the courage and clarity to take the step.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

The Moon transits your own rashi today in Shravana nakshatra, which is your birth nakshatra's ruling constellation — a deeply personal and introspective energy pervades the day. Your emotional intelligence is at its sharpest; trust your gut instincts about people and situations. Mars and Jupiter in your sixth house give you unusual stamina to tackle a difficult health challenge, a competing adversary, or a stubborn obstacle at work. This is a day for strategic problem-solving rather than grand announcements — Varahamihira notes that Shravana bestows 'hearing wisdom' to those who pause before acting.

Lucky Colour: Indigo Blue | Lucky Number: 8

Spend 10 minutes in quiet reflection or meditation before your first major meeting today — your intuition under Shravana Moon is your most powerful tool.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your ruler, is retrograde in your own sign — a significant internal audit is underway in your life, and today the Moon in the twelfth house from your sign deepens this introspective pull. Avoid major financial outflows, and resist the temptation to make impulsive decisions about property or relocation. Instead, use today's energy for spiritual practice, behind-the-scenes preparation, charitable acts, or completing creative work in solitude. Mars and Jupiter in your fifth house positively indicate that any investments made in your children's education or in creative speculative ventures since April are beginning to yield visible results.

Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 4

Review your household budget or savings plan quietly today — Saturn retrograde in your own sign is the universe's auditor, and those who self-audit first fare best.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

With your ruling planet Jupiter joined by Mars in your fourth house of home, domestic concerns take centre stage today in the most productive way possible. Home renovation decisions, real estate enquiries, discussions about living arrangements with family, or clearing out clutter all receive cosmic support. If you have been managing a difficult family dynamic, a compassionate but direct conversation today under Siddha Yoga can begin genuine healing. Professionally, working from home or handling domestic logistics will feel smooth — resist the urge to over-schedule yourself outside the home environment today.

Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 7

Dedicate at least one hour today to your home — whether that is a repair, a meaningful conversation with a parent, or simply beautifying your living space, the fourth house Jupiter rewards domestic investment.

Vastu Tip of the Day

On Mangalavara (Tuesday), Vastu Shastra — particularly the Manasara tradition — associates Mars with the South direction, which governs fame, vitality, and protection from obstacles. Today, light a ghee lamp or a red candle in the South zone of your home or office for 20 minutes during the morning muhurat. Ensure this zone is clutter-free and that no broken or non-functional objects are stored here. If your main entrance faces South, place a Vastu pyramid or a protective symbol at the threshold to moderate excessive Martian energy entering the space.

Vedic Wisdom

Sage Parasara, in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, reminds us: 'As the lamp does not waver in a windless place, so the mind does not waver for the one who has yoked themselves to steady practice.' On this Siddha Yoga Tuesday, let your actions be as deliberate as the flame — bright, focused, and undisturbed by the winds of doubt.
