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

Mars, your ruling lord, blazes through Simha in your fifth house of creativity and romance — this is a superb Friday to pursue a passion project, present a bold idea at work, or reignite the spark in a close relationship. The Moon in Rohini activates your fourth house, making you crave domestic comfort, so plan an intimate evening at home rather than a hectic social outing. Financially, avoid impulsive investments after 4 PM as Mercury's position creates minor confusion in money matters.

Lucky Colour: Crimson Red | Lucky Number: 9

Channel your creative fire by writing down that business idea you've been sitting on — Mars in the fifth house rewards those who take the leap today.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Venus, your chart ruler, sits in Karka in your third house of communication, siblings, and short journeys — making this an excellent Friday for meaningful conversations, signing contracts, or reaching out to a sibling you've been meaning to reconnect with. Jupiter in Mithuna aspects your second house of finances with its expansive grace, suggesting a positive turn in income or a valuable financial discussion. However, Saturn retrograde in Kumbha casts a tenth-house aspect on your career sector — do not rush any professional decisions; thorough preparation will outshine speed today.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Make that call or send that message you've been postponing — Venus in your third house makes your words land with warmth and persuasiveness today.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Jupiter in your own rashi, Mithuna, continues its year-long blessing of self-expansion and personal confidence — today this manifests as a strong intuition about your next big move in life; trust it. Venus in Karka sits in your second house of wealth, bringing opportunities for financial gain through creative or artistic channels. The one caution: Moon in Rohini falls in your twelfth house, urging rest and withdrawal — this is the day to recharge behind the scenes rather than push aggressively into the spotlight.

Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5

Spend at least 20 minutes in meditation or quiet reflection today — your twelfth house Moon in Rohini is preparing your subconscious with insights that will power next week's decisions.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

This is YOUR day, Karka — Moon is exalted in nature in Rohini (its own nakshatra) transiting your first house, while Venus graces your lagna with beauty, charm, and magnetic appeal. You will radiate warmth and others will naturally gravitate toward you — use this energy in meetings, negotiations, or any social interaction. Romantically, this is one of the finest Fridays of the year for you; plan something special with your partner or allow yourself to be seen if you are single. The only discipline required: avoid overeating and overspending, as both Moon and Venus together can indulge the senses beyond wisdom.

Lucky Colour: Pearl White | Lucky Number: 2

Say yes to the social invitation or plan a candlelit dinner — today your natural emotional intelligence is at its peak and genuine connections will flourish.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

Mars energises your first house with bold, forward-moving Simha energy — today you have the stamina and courage to tackle something you've been avoiding, whether a difficult conversation with a superior or a physical challenge you've been postponing. Sun, your ruler, sits in Karka in the twelfth house, suggesting that this strength is best wielded quietly and strategically rather than loudly. Financially, Saturn's retrograde energy reaches your seventh house of partnerships — review any joint financial arrangement or business partnership agreement carefully before renewing or extending terms.

Lucky Colour: Royal Gold | Lucky Number: 1

Take on the physically or mentally demanding task you've been putting off — Mars in your lagna gives you the fuel, but use it with focused precision, not reckless force.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Jupiter in Mithuna casts a beautiful tenth-house aspect on your career and public reputation, making today a stellar Friday for professional recognition, a significant presentation, or reaching out to a mentor or authority figure. Mercury, your ruling planet, is favourably placed, lending you analytical sharpness that will make your arguments and proposals compelling. On the health front, Moon in Rohini activates your eighth house — be mindful of fatigue around midday and ensure you stay hydrated; avoid skipping meals as your digestion may be more sensitive than usual today.

Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 3

Prepare a crisp, well-researched summary of your work achievement and share it with someone in authority — Jupiter's career aspect is at its most potent today.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Venus in Karka illuminates your tenth house of career and public image with unusual warmth — in the Parashari tradition, Venus as the lord of lagna transiting the tenth is a highly auspicious combination for professional advancement. Today is ideal for creative presentations, client meetings, or any work that requires interpersonal finesse. At home, however, Saturn retrograde in Kumbha aspects your fifth house — if you have children, check in on their emotional wellbeing, as they may be dealing with a subtle pressure they have not fully expressed. Attend to family before heading out for Friday evening plans.

Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 6

Schedule your most important professional interaction before noon to fully harness Venus's mid-morning peak, then dedicate early evening to family connection.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

Moon in Rohini falls in your seventh house of partnerships and marriage — today brings emotional conversations with your spouse or business partner that, handled with patience, can deepen trust significantly. Venus in Karka in your ninth house adds a philosophical, almost spiritual dimension to your relationships; consider discussing long-term shared values or even planning a pilgrimage or meaningful trip together. Financially, Mars in Simha in your tenth house gives career momentum — a senior colleague may notice your contribution and create an opening for advancement. Do not downplay your efforts today.

Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Initiate the honest conversation with your partner or key collaborator — Rohini Moon in the seventh softens resistance and makes genuine dialogue possible today.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Jupiter in Mithuna sits opposite your rashi in the seventh house — while this brings dynamic energy to partnerships, it can also signal overextension in commitments; be careful about promising more than you can deliver in any agreement today. Positively, Venus in Karka brightens your eighth house, which in classical Vedic thought rules transformative wealth — expect an unexpected financial inflow, an inheritance matter to resolve positively, or a return on a dormant investment. Health focus today: your sixth house is activated — stay consistent with any prescribed medication or exercise routine; do not skip.

Lucky Colour: Saffron Orange | Lucky Number: 3

Review any contract or commitment before signing today, but do check your emails and bank account — a pleasant financial surprise may be waiting for you.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your ruling planet, is retrograde in Kumbha — your second house of accumulated wealth, family, and speech. This is a period of reviewing financial foundations, and today specifically the Rohini Moon in your third house nudges you to have a direct money conversation you have been avoiding within the family or with a sibling. Do not let silence fester into resentment — Parasara notes that the third house represents courage as much as communication; it takes courage to address what is uncomfortable. On a lighter note, Mars in Simha in your eighth house could bring a surprise bonus or inheritance news through your partner's side.

Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 7

Open the financial discussion within the family with calm, factual figures in hand — Saturn retrograde rewards those who face the ledger honestly rather than avoiding it.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn retrograde sits in your own rashi, Kumbha — this is a year of profound inner restructuring for you, and today the Rohini Moon in your second house draws attention to your financial security and dietary habits. This is an excellent Friday to create or update a budget, review subscriptions and expenses, or prepare a healthy meal at home rather than eating out. Jupiter in Mithuna casts a benefic fifth-house aspect, suggesting your children bring joy or a creative project you have nurtured finally shows promising results. Allow yourself to feel proud of what you have built.

Lucky Colour: Turquoise | Lucky Number: 4

Dedicate 30 minutes this evening to reviewing your monthly expenses — Saturn in your own sign rewards every act of financial self-discipline with compound long-term stability.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Venus in Karka, a fellow water sign, shines warmly in your fifth house of romance, creativity, and children — making this one of the most romantically charged Fridays of the year for Meena natives. If you are in a relationship, plan something genuinely romantic tonight; if single, your natural compassion and artistic sensitivity are magnetic today. Jupiter, your ruling lord, in Mithuna creates a fourth-house aspect, connecting home, emotional roots, and creative joy — an afternoon spent beautifying your living space or engaging in a creative hobby at home will restore your soul more than any social event tonight.

Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 11

Plan an art-filled or music-filled Friday evening at home or with your beloved — Venus in your fifth house makes beauty and creativity today's most nourishing medicine.

Vastu Tip of the Day

On Fridays (Shukravar), Shukra (Venus) governs the day — according to the Vishwakarma Prakash, the south-east zone (Agni corner) of any home or office is ruled by Venus and represents wealth, creativity, and relationships. Today, place a small bowl of fresh white or pink flowers in the south-east corner of your living room or workspace and light a white or pale pink candle for 15 minutes in the evening. Ensure no clutter, broken appliances, or dustbins occupy this zone — the Mahavastu tradition holds that a blocked Agni corner suppresses financial energy and harmonious relationships. A clean, fragrant south-east corner on a Friday actively invites Lakshmi's grace.

Vedic Wisdom

Maharishi Parasara reminds us in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are the servants of the Absolute, assigned to deliver the fruits of karma — they neither punish nor reward, but illuminate.' As Moon rests lovingly in Rohini today, remember that this nakshatra's presiding deity is Brahma the Creator. You, too, are a creator. What you choose to begin, nurture, or speak into existence on this beautiful Friday carries the seed of lasting form. Create wisely, love generously, and act with dharma.
