Panchang — Tuesday, 11 August 2026
Tithi: Tritiya (Shukla Paksha, Third Lunar Day) | Nakshatra: Shravana | Yoga: Shubha
Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:42 AM – 09:18 AM (Abhijit Muhurat: 11:51 AM – 12:39 PM)
Planetary Note: Moon in Shravana (Makara) trines Jupiter in Vrishabha, creating a Gaja-Kesari-like benefic flow — decisions made with both heart and strategy are favoured. Mars in Mithuna sharpens communication; Mercury retrograde in Karka urges review before signing contracts.
Today’s Observance: 11 August 2026 falls during the auspicious Shravana Maas (the sacred month of Shravana), dedicated to Lord Shiva. Tuesdays in Shravana are especially powerful for Mangal (Mars) worship — offering red flowers, lighting a ghee lamp, and chanting the Hanuman Chalisa or reciting 'Om Namah Shivaya' 108 times is considered highly meritorious. Devotees may also observe the Mangala Gauri Vrat, a Tuesday fast observed by married and unmarried women during Shravana for marital harmony and the well-being of partners.
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 ruler Mars is transiting your third house (Mithuna), supercharging your communication, courage, and short-travel sector. Today is exceptionally well-suited for bold pitches, negotiations, or presenting ideas to seniors — your words carry unusual conviction. However, Mercury retrograde in Karka (your fourth house) cautions against signing any property documents or making household expenditure decisions without a second review.
Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9
Write out your key talking points before any important meeting — Mars gives the fire, preparation gives the aim.
Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
Jupiter continues its powerful transit through your own sign, and today's Moon in Shravana forms a harmonious trine to your lagna, amplifying your natural abundance and calm authority. Financially, a pending dues recovery or unexpected credit to your account is likely — check your transactions by afternoon. In relationships, your steady patience today will resolve a weeks-old friction with a close family member; speak from the heart, not from ego.
Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6
Invest 30 minutes today reviewing your savings or mutual fund portfolio — Jupiter's gaze rewards those who tend their resources.
Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mars is now a guest in your own sign, making you unusually assertive and energetic — but Mercury retrograde (your ruler) in the adjacent Karka creates a subtle tension between wanting to move fast and needing to revisit unfinished business. Today, channel Mars's energy into completing a stalled project rather than launching something entirely new. A sibling or close colleague may need your direct, honest input — give it kindly but without holding back.
Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5
Clear your inbox and pending replies before noon — you will feel remarkably lighter and more focused for the rest of the day.
Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)
Ruling Planet: Moon
Mercury retrograde in your own sign is stirring second thoughts about a decision made in July — this is not confusion but divine recalibration; trust it. Your Moon lord is transiting Makara (your seventh house) today, putting the spotlight firmly on partnerships, both personal and professional. A candid one-on-one conversation with your spouse or business partner will unlock a solution that meetings and group discussions have failed to produce. Avoid impulsive spending after 6 PM.
Lucky Colour: Pearl Silver | Lucky Number: 2
Set aside 20 minutes for an uninterrupted conversation with your closest partner today — the Moon in your seventh house makes honesty land softly.
Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)
Ruling Planet: Sun
The Sun is approaching your own sign (Simha), and you are already feeling a pre-solar-return surge of confidence and vitality. Saturn's long transit through Kumbha (your seventh house) continues to demand maturity in all relationships — resist the urge to dominate today; instead, demonstrate leadership by listening first. Your sixth house gets activated by Mars's position, making this an excellent Tuesday to tackle health routines: begin that gym membership, consult a nutritionist, or schedule an overdue check-up.
Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1
Use this Tuesday's Mangalik energy to start one concrete health habit — even a 15-minute morning walk sets a powerful precedent.
Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mercury retrograde in Karka affects your eleventh house of gains and networks — a promised payment or collaboration outcome may be delayed by a few days; follow up politely rather than assuming the worst. The Moon's passage through Shravana in your fifth house today is genuinely delightful for creative pursuits: if you have been sitting on a writing project, an artistic idea, or a business concept, today's planetary weather is ideal for putting it on paper. Children-related matters also resolve smoothly today.
Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 5
Dedicate at least one hour to a creative or personal passion project today — the fifth-house Moon makes inspiration highly accessible.
Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
Saturn in Kumbha (your fifth house) has been asking you to be disciplined about speculative investments and romantic choices for some time now — today, that lesson pays a dividend. A careful, well-researched financial decision you made earlier this year shows early signs of bearing fruit. The Moon in your fourth house (Makara) today calls for a family-centred evening: a quiet dinner, addressing a home repair, or simply reconnecting with parents or in-laws will restore your emotional equilibrium more than any entertainment can.
Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 6
Call or visit an elder family member this evening — the emotional nourishment runs both ways and Saturn rewards filial duty.
Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
Your co-ruler Mars in Mithuna activates your eighth house — the house of transformation, research, inheritance, and occult wisdom. This is a powerful day for deep investigative work: forensic accounting, research writing, legal due diligence, or psychological introspection. Avoid lending money or entering joint financial agreements today as Mercury retrograde in your ninth house can obscure the fine print. Spiritually, this is an excellent day for meditation, Jyotish study, or visiting a temple associated with Lord Shiva.
Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8
Spend 15 minutes in silent meditation or pranayama before noon — the eighth-house Mars makes your intuition razor-sharp when the mind is still.
Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter in Vrishabha continues to strengthen your sixth house of health, service, and daily discipline — a hard-working period that is quietly building your professional reputation. The Moon transiting your second house today highlights family finances and speech: be precise and measured in financial conversations with relatives, and avoid sarcasm even in jest. A Tuesday ruled by Mars (your fifth lord) is auspicious for educational pursuits — if you have been considering an upskilling course or competitive exam preparation, enrol or commit today.
Lucky Colour: Turmeric Yellow | Lucky Number: 3
Register for that course, workshop, or exam prep you have been postponing — Jupiter in your sixth house rewards structured effort with tangible results.
Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Today's Moon transits Shravana nakshatra in your own sign — Shravana is ruled by the Moon and its deity is Lord Vishnu, making this a deeply auspicious day for you, the Makara native. Your natural Saturn-ruled discipline combines beautifully with Moon's emotional intelligence today, making you unusually persuasive in interviews, client presentations, and negotiations. Career advancement or a positive response from a senior authority is highly likely before 2 PM. Keep your LinkedIn profile or portfolio updated — an unexpected professional inquiry may come in.
Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 8
Reach out proactively to one senior professional contact today — the Moon in Shravana in your lagna makes you memorable and trustworthy.
Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn, your ruler, continues its transit through your own sign — a long, karmic reckoning that is stripping away what is non-essential from your life to reveal the diamond underneath. Today, the Moon in your twelfth house invites rest, reflection, and charitable action rather than aggressive outward effort. If you have been sleeping poorly or feeling drained, your body is sending a Saturn-endorsed signal: reduce screen time after 9 PM, prioritise seven hours of sleep, and consider a brief charitable act — donation of food, clothes, or time — which acts as a Shani remedy.
Lucky Colour: Midnight Blue | Lucky Number: 7
Perform one small act of anonymous charity today and reduce social media consumption by half — Saturn in your lagna rewards stillness with clarity.
Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter in Vrishabha casts its third-house gaze upon you, blessing your communication, short journeys, and initiatives with an expansive, benevolent light. Today is ideal for networking events, social media outreach, or submitting a creative proposal — your words and ideas carry an unusual warmth that draws others in. The Moon transiting your eleventh house activates gains and friendships: a friend may bring a valuable professional connection, or a long-pending payment may arrive. Do not let false modesty prevent you from sharing your work widely today.
Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 3
Post, publish, or pitch something you have been holding back — the eleventh-house Moon combined with Jupiter's gaze makes today your best visibility window of the week.
Vastu Tip of the Day
According to the Mahavastu system, the North direction governs career opportunities and incoming wealth (ruled by Kuber, the lord of prosperity). On this Tuesday, with the Moon activating material and professional themes, place a bowl of fresh water with a few drops of rose water or a small green plant in the North zone of your home or office. Remove any clutter, broken objects, or electrical junk from this area. This simple act aligns the North zone's Vayu Tatva (air element) with incoming positive energy, making your professional outreach more likely to yield results today.
Vedic Wisdom
As the great Parasara teaches in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are but the instruments of karma; the wise one reads their signals not as chains but as a map.' Today's Shravana nakshatra reminds us that true listening — to the cosmos, to our loved ones, and to our own inner voice — is the beginning of all wisdom. Act with intention, speak with care, and trust that the universe is always conspiring in your favour when your heart is pure.
