Panchang — Friday, 4 September 2026
Tithi: Shukla Ekadashi (Waxing Eleventh — Parivartini Ekadashi) | Nakshatra: Rohini (Moon in Vrishabha, 2nd pada) | Yoga: Saubhagya Yoga — auspicious for new beginnings, relationships, and creative endeavours
Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:42 AM – 09:18 AM IST (Abhijit Muhurat window, strong for contracts and important decisions)
Planetary Note: Venus (ruling today's Friday) sits in its own sign Tula, conjunct Mercury — sharpening communication in matters of the heart and finance. Saturn remains in Kumbha (retrograde), casting a 10th-aspect on Vrishchika, pressing themes of accountability. Jupiter has moved into Mithuna, amplifying intellectual curiosity and networking. Mars is transiting Kanya, making native-born Kanya and Mithuna rashis feel an intensified drive. The Moon in Rohini — Venus's favoured nakshatra — keeps the overall mood gentle and receptive.
Today’s Observance: 4 September 2026 falls on Shukla Ekadashi in the Bhadrapada month — this is Parivartini Ekadashi (also called Parsva Ekadashi or Vamana Ekadashi), a highly significant observance in the Vaishnava calendar. It marks the moment Lord Vishnu turns over in his cosmic slumber (Yoganidra) — an auspicious day for fasting, chanting Vishnu Sahasranama, and making charitable offerings. Devotees performing the Ekadashi fast should break it on the following morning (Dwadashi). This Ekadashi also heralds the approach of the festival season — Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are typically winding to a close around this date in 2026.
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 transiting the 6th house (Kanya) from your rashi sharpens your competitive edge at work — rivals underestimate you today, and that is your advantage. Venus and Mercury in your 7th house create a honeyed atmosphere in partnerships: a business negotiation or personal conversation you have been postponing is best initiated in the morning muhurat window. However, Saturn's retrograde glance advises you not to cut corners in financial documentation — review every clause before signing.
Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9
Schedule that important conversation with a partner or client before 10 AM for the best outcome.
Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
The Moon is in your own rashi today in the emotionally rich Rohini nakshatra — your nakshatra — making this an unusually self-aware and magnetic Friday for you. You radiate warmth and others are drawn to your presence; use this natural authority to resolve a family tension that has been simmering. Financially, Venus (your ruler) in Tula activates your 6th house, suggesting a loan repayment or debt clearance becomes possible — act on it. Avoid overindulging at meals; your body asks for lightness today.
Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6
Cook or share a simple home meal with family — it heals more than a long conversation would.
Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Jupiter now residing in your own rashi is a year-long blessing, and today Mercury — your ruling planet — joins Venus in Tula (your 5th house of creativity, romance, and intelligence). This is one of the finest days of the month for Mithuna natives: creative projects, academic work, or romantic gestures all carry the wind of success behind them. Mars in Kanya (your 4th house) does create mild home-related stress — a repair issue or a family member's temper. Address it practically and briefly; don't let it overshadow an otherwise luminous day.
Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5
Dedicate 30 focused minutes to a creative or academic project today — the quality of your output will surprise you.
Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)
Ruling Planet: Moon
The Moon (your ruler) moves through Rohini in the 11th house from Karka, activating income, social networks, and fulfilment of wishes — a friend or professional contact reaches out with an opportunity you should not dismiss as too small. Venus and Mercury in your 4th house bring comfort-seeking energy home: beautifying your living space or resolving a domestic financial matter (home loan, rent, interior work) becomes productive. Saturn's retrograde aspect on your 5th house cautions against speculative investments or gambling-adjacent decisions this week.
Lucky Colour: Silver | Lucky Number: 2
Take the call or reply to the message from an old network contact — it may open a significant door.
Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)
Ruling Planet: Sun
The Sun is in your own rashi Simha right now (entering Virgo only around mid-September in the sidereal calendar), giving you natural leadership confidence. The Moon in Rohini (your 10th house) places career squarely in focus — superiors notice your efforts today, and a word said in the right ear can nudge a promotion or project allocation in your favour. Venus and Mercury in Tula (your 3rd house) sharpen your communication: write that proposal, shoot that reel, or send that pitch email. Avoid pride-driven arguments with younger siblings or colleagues.
Lucky Colour: Gold | Lucky Number: 1
Send a written summary of your recent achievements to your manager or relevant authority — visibility wins today.
Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mars is passing directly through your rashi, Kanya, giving you relentless energy but also an edge of irritability — channel it into physical activity or a demanding work sprint rather than interpersonal conflict. Mercury (your ruler) is exalted in spirit today through its Tula placement alongside Venus, activating your 2nd house of speech, family, and accumulated wealth. A financial conversation with a family elder may bear fruit if approached with patience. Health-wise, watch for acidity or inflammation: favour cooling foods and avoid late-night screen time.
Lucky Colour: Pale Green | Lucky Number: 5
Begin your day with a brisk 20-minute walk to redirect Mars energy productively before workplace interactions.
Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
This is your power day, Tula. Venus is in your own sign alongside Mercury, both in your 1st house — your appearance, charm, and articulation are operating at peak. If you have a presentation, a first meeting, a date, or an interview, this Friday is almost divinely timed for you. Jupiter in Mithuna aspects your 9th house, reinforcing good fortune from mentors or higher education pursuits. The one caution: Saturn's retrograde in Kumbha aspects your 5th house — do not make impulsive romantic decisions or risky financial bets, even in a day that feels charmed.
Lucky Colour: Blue Sapphire | Lucky Number: 6
Dress intentionally today — how you present yourself will directly shape how an important opportunity unfolds.
Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
Saturn retrograde in Kumbha is casting its 10th-aspect directly onto your rashi today — you may feel a low-grade sense of pressure, responsibility, or being unfairly judged at work. Parasara teaches that Saturn's gaze, though heavy, ultimately builds character when met with discipline rather than resistance. Venus and Mercury in your 12th house from Tula suggest hidden expenses or a quiet, restorative expenditure (a medical check-up, a retreat booking, paying an old debt) that is actually wise. Focus on closure, not new beginnings, today.
Lucky Colour: Dark Maroon | Lucky Number: 8
Clear one outstanding obligation — financial, personal, or professional — and notice how the pressure lifts.
Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter has moved into Mithuna, your 7th house, bringing an expansive and generous quality to all partnerships — business and personal. Today's Moon in Rohini (your 6th house) keeps you alert to workplace dynamics and health routines. A colleague's advice about a health practice or efficiency system is worth heeding. Venus and Mercury in Tula (your 11th house) make this an excellent Friday for income from networks, online communities, or group projects. A social media post or a community contribution today could yield unexpected material return.
Lucky Colour: Turmeric Yellow | Lucky Number: 3
Reach out to a professional community or group you have been passive in — active participation brings reward this week.
Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Your ruler Saturn is retrograde in Kumbha (your 2nd house), prompting a deep and honest review of your financial foundations — not alarming, but necessary. Are your savings habits aligned with your stated goals? Today is ideal for budgeting exercises, consulting a financial planner, or renegotiating a fixed expense. Moon in Rohini in your 5th house brings creative and romantic warmth: if you have been emotionally distant from a loved one or a passion project, this Friday evening offers a natural re-entry point. Light a lamp and reconnect.
Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 8
Review your last three months of expenses this evening — one unnecessary recurring cost will reveal itself for elimination.
Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn retrograde is in your own rashi — you are in a period of deep internal restructuring that may feel isolating but is genuinely alchemical. As B.V. Raman notes, Saturn's transit through its own sign, even retrograde, strengthens native resolve when worked with consciously. Today, Venus and Mercury in your 9th house (Tula) activate luck, dharma, and higher learning — a teacher, a spiritual text, or an overseas contact brings perspective you need. Mars in Kanya (your 8th house) requires caution in travel and any mechanical or surgical matter: do not delay safety checks.
Lucky Colour: Ultramarine Blue | Lucky Number: 7
Spend 15 minutes today reading or listening to something philosophically nourishing — it recalibrates your sense of purpose.
Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter in Mithuna sits in your 4th house of home, mother, and emotional security — blessings are quietly arriving in your domestic sphere even if they aren't dramatic. Today's Moon in Rohini (your 3rd house) sharpens your communication and short-distance travel — a trip within the city or a sibling conversation yields something valuable. Venus and Mercury in Tula (your 8th house) are a mixed signal: joint finances or inheritance-related matters come to light. Handle them with transparency rather than avoidance. A gentle Friday evening of journaling or prayer restores your equilibrium.
Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 3
Have an honest conversation about shared finances or property with a family member — delay only deepens the complexity.
Vastu Tip of the Day
Friday is ruled by Venus (Shukra), the planet of abundance, beauty, and harmonious relationships. According to Vishwakarma Prakash, the south-east corner of any home or office is the Agni (fire) zone — Venus energies are amplified here on Fridays. Place fresh white or pink flowers (particularly mogra, rose, or lotus) in the south-east corner of your living room or kitchen today. Wipe down all mirrors in the home, as Venus governs reflection and self-perception; a clean mirror in the north-east promotes clarity of mind and invites Lakshmi's grace. Avoid cluttering the bedroom with work-related items on Fridays — Venus asks for spaciousness in personal relationships.
Vedic Wisdom
Sage Parasara reminds us in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are the instruments of karma, not its authors — the soul that acts with awareness transforms even difficult transits into stepping stones.' On this Parivartini Ekadashi, as the cosmos itself turns, may you too allow a quiet, conscious turning — releasing what no longer serves, and making room for what your highest self is ready to receive. Jai Shri Hari.
