Panchang — Sunday, 13 September 2026

Tithi: Shukla Ekadashi (Eleventh Waxing Moon — Parivartini / Vamana Ekadashi) | Nakshatra: Purva Phalguni (ruled by Venus — creativity, leisure, and romance are heightened) | Yoga: Siddha Yoga (highly auspicious — undertakings begun today carry strong completion energy)

Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:12 AM – 09:48 AM IST (Brahma Muhurat window extends through early morning; secondary Abhijit Muhurat 11:52 AM – 12:40 PM IST)

Planetary Note: Saturn transits Kumbha (own sign, direct), Jupiter in Vrishabha (own sign through 2026), Venus in Tula (own sign, strong), Mars in Karka — Moon in Simha today forms a trine to Jupiter, making this Sunday ideal for spiritual practice, financial decisions, and family bonding. Ekadashi amplifies the spiritual current of the day.

Today’s Observance: Parivartini Ekadashi (also called Vamana Ekadashi or Parsva Ekadashi) — This is among the most spiritually significant Ekadashis of the Vedic calendar year. It marks the occasion when Lord Vishnu, resting in Yogic sleep (Yoga Nidra) since Devshayani Ekadashi in Ashadha, turns to his other side. Observing a fast today, chanting the Vishnu Sahasranama, and lighting a ghee lamp before a Vishnu or Lakshmi deity is considered highly meritorious. Donations of footwear, umbrellas, or food to those in need carry special blessings on this day.

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 chart lord Mars sits in Karka (the 4th house from Mesh), stirring matters of home, property, and emotional grounding. A lingering domestic dispute or a pending home improvement project demands your attention today — the energy is right to resolve it with patience rather than your usual directness. Ekadashi's calm vibration softens Mars's fire; use this window to have a heartfelt conversation with a parent or elder family member that you have been postponing. Financially, a property-related paperwork matter may see forward movement.

Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9

Visit a Hanuman temple this Sunday morning and offer sindoor — Mars is appeased and your family environment will visibly improve within the week.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Jupiter, your 8th and 11th lord, sits powerfully in your own sign — a rare and transformative blessing that continues to attract income from unexpected sources and deep social networks. Today the Moon-Jupiter trine amplifies this: a friend or professional contact may reach out with a collaboration offer that deserves serious consideration. Romance is particularly highlighted — if single, a Venus-ruled Sunday is among the most auspicious for meeting a compatible partner at a cultural or spiritual gathering. Married Vrishabha natives will find the evening especially warm and connective with their spouse.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Dress in light-coloured clothing, visit a temple or cultural event in the evening, and speak your feelings honestly to someone close — Venus in her own sign rewards authenticity in love today.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Saturn transiting your 9th house (Kumbha) continues its long-term restructuring of your beliefs, philosophy, and relationship with authority figures — and today offers a rare window of clarity. The Siddha Yoga combined with Ekadashi creates a powerful backdrop for study, writing, or any work requiring sustained concentration. If you are a student preparing for competitive exams, a professional working on a report or presentation, or a writer mid-project — block off the morning muhurat hours for focused output. You will surprise yourself with the quality of work produced. A call from a distant relative or someone abroad is likely.

Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5

Write down three long-term goals this morning and leave them near your study or workspace — Saturn in the 9th rewards those who commit their dharma to paper.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

Mars is transiting your own sign today, which can simultaneously energise and agitate — you may feel unusually restless or emotionally reactive, especially in close relationships. The key is to direct this martial energy into physical activity: a long morning walk, yoga, or swimming will transform inner tension into productive vitality. Professionally, Mars in Karka is actually excellent for initiative — if you have been hesitating to put your name forward for a new role or project, draft that email or message today. Health-wise, monitor digestive heat and stay well-hydrated.

Lucky Colour: Silver | Lucky Number: 2

Channel Mars's energy with 30 minutes of vigorous physical exercise before 8 AM, then channel the calm that follows into your most important professional communication of the day.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

The Moon graces your own sign today in the nakshatra of Purva Phalguni — ruled by Venus, the star of pleasure, artistry, and celebration. For Simha natives, this is among the finest personal days this season. Your natural charisma is magnified; social engagements, creative presentations, or public-facing activities will go exceptionally well. Sunday gatherings with friends or family will be joyful and memorable. Importantly, a financial decision you have been mulling — perhaps around investments or a significant purchase — is well-aspected for action during the Abhijit Muhurat (11:52 AM–12:40 PM).

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1

Wear gold or saffron today, accept any social invitation that comes your way, and make that investment or financial commitment you have deliberated over — the Moon in your own rashi gives clear-headed confidence.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

The Moon transiting your 12th house (Simha) today draws your energy inward — this is not a day for aggressive networking or external ambition, but rather for inner work, rest, and spiritual reflection. Ekadashi's fasting energy resonates strongly with your introspective mood; even a partial fast or a simplified diet will leave you feeling clearer by evening. Expenses may feel slightly elevated today — avoid impulsive spending, especially on luxury items. However, money spent on a spiritual retreat, meditation course, or a meaningful charitable donation carries lasting positive karma.

Lucky Colour: Soft Green | Lucky Number: 3

Observe at least a partial Ekadashi fast (avoiding grains), spend an hour in silent meditation or gentle pranayama, and defer any significant financial outlay to tomorrow when the Moon moves into your own sign.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Venus is at home in Tula today — your chart ruler in its own sign is a powerful personal blessing that makes you more magnetic, more articulate, and more capable of winning people to your perspective. In professional contexts, today is ideal for negotiations, client meetings (if scheduled), or any persuasive communication. In relationships, your natural diplomatic charm is at a yearly peak — couples can resolve long-standing differences now with uncommon grace. A creative project involving design, music, decoration, or fashion will flourish if you give it time today.

Lucky Colour: Pastel Blue | Lucky Number: 6

Schedule any important negotiation, difficult relationship conversation, or creative presentation for before noon — Venus's strength is most potent in the morning hours on this particular Sunday.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

With Saturn casting its steady disciplined gaze from Kumbha onto your 4th house matters and Mars energising your 9th house of higher learning and long-distance travel, today brings a fascinating tension between rootedness and expansion. A travel plan — pilgrimage, family trip, or work-related tour — that has been under discussion is ready to be finalised. If travel is not immediately possible, invest the day's energy in learning: enrol in an online course, begin a book on a subject you have wanted to master, or have a deep philosophical discussion with a mentor or guru figure. Financially, unexpected recovery of a pending amount is possible.

Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Book that travel ticket or pilgrimage reservation today — the 9th-house Mars transit supports auspicious journeys, and Ekadashi blesses trips undertaken with spiritual intention.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Jupiter, your chart lord, sits powerfully in Vrishabha — your 6th house — bringing the rare gift of victory over adversaries, improved health routines, and professional stamina. Today the Moon-Jupiter trine lights up your 9th house (Simha), creating one of the year's most spiritually resonant days for you. If you have a guru, teacher, or spiritual mentor, reach out to them — a blessing received today carries unusual potency. For Dhanu professionals in competitive fields, rivals who have been causing friction will find their influence diminishing. Health improvements begun this Sunday (dietary changes, new exercise routine) will sustain.

Lucky Colour: Turmeric Yellow | Lucky Number: 3

Visit a Vishnu temple or observe the Ekadashi Vrat with full dedication — as a Jupiter-ruled native on this Vamana Ekadashi, your connection to divine grace is especially direct today.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your chart ruler, commands Kumbha from its own throne — a position of exceptional dignified strength that continues to reward Makara natives who have been doing the steady, unglamorous work of building their foundations. Today's Siddha Yoga amplifies Saturn's constructive energy: this is an outstanding Sunday to review long-term financial plans, revise investment portfolios, or consult a financial advisor. A senior professional colleague or authority figure may offer guidance that seems dry on the surface but contains genuinely valuable strategic insight — listen carefully. Your health benefits from structured outdoor activity today.

Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 8

Spend 90 minutes this morning reviewing your savings plan or investment strategy with fresh eyes — Saturn in his own sign on Siddha Yoga rewards every act of disciplined financial planning with compounding returns over time.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn sits directly in your sign — your chart lord at home, a once-in-thirty-year transit of profound personal restructuring and ultimate empowerment. On this particular Sunday, the Moon in your 7th house (Simha) highlights partnership dynamics — business partnerships, marriage, and significant one-on-one relationships come into focus. A conversation with your spouse or a key collaborator that has been deferred will flow more easily today under Venus's influence. If you are navigating a complex partnership agreement, seek legal or professional counsel this week. Your social conscience is strong today — a community service initiative or NGO involvement will feel deeply fulfilling.

Lucky Colour: Electric Blue | Lucky Number: 4

Initiate an honest, open conversation with your most important personal or professional partner today — Saturn in your own sign gives you the gravitas and sincerity to make real progress on long-standing relationship dynamics.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Jupiter from Vrishabha aspects your 11th house of gains and social networks, while the Moon in your 6th house (Simha) calls for attention to health and daily service. A chronic health matter — particularly one involving lifestyle habits — will respond well to a renewed commitment made today. Ekadashi's purifying energy makes this the ideal day to begin a new dietary protocol or break a habit that has been draining your vitality. Financially, income from a secondary source or a freelance project shows promise. In the evening, a friend's gathering or cultural event offers genuine joy — do not cancel plans.

Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 7

Use this Ekadashi to commit to one specific health habit — a particular food to eliminate, a supplement to begin, or a sleep routine to fix — and write it as a formal sankalpa (intention) for maximum Saturn-Jupiter support.

Vastu Tip of the Day

On Sundays, the Sun governs the east direction and the Agni (fire) corner of your home. According to Manasara, the northeast is the zone of Ishanya — divine grace and clarity of mind. Today, clean and declutter the northeast corner of your home or main room, place a bowl of fresh water or a small pot of tulsi there, and allow morning sunlight to enter unobstructed through east-facing windows for at least 30 minutes. This activates the Brahmasthana energy for the week ahead and is especially potent on Ekadashi Sunday when both solar and lunar energies are aligned for spiritual benefit.

Vedic Wisdom

As Maharishi Parasara teaches in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'Grahas indicate results; they do not compel them. The wise person reads the planetary currents as a sailor reads the wind — not to be carried helplessly, but to set the sail with intelligence.' On this auspicious Parivartini Ekadashi, may you turn toward the light with the same grace that Lord Vishnu himself turns in his cosmic rest — deliberately, serenely, and with divine timing.
