Panchang — Friday, 25 September 2026

Tithi: Tritiya (Third Tithi), Shukla Paksha — waxing moon, energy building toward the fourth day | Nakshatra: Punarvasu (ruled by Jupiter) — the nakshatra of restoration and auspicious return | Yoga: Siddha Yoga — highly auspicious for initiating new ventures, signing agreements, and spiritual practice

Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:42 AM – 09:18 AM (Amrit Choghadiya) and 12:00 PM – 01:36 PM (Shubh Choghadiya)

Planetary Note: Venus is in own sign Tula (Libra), amplifying creativity and relationships; Saturn continues its slow transit through Kumbha (Aquarius) adding discipline; Jupiter in Vrishabha (Taurus) aspects wealth and speech houses across multiple rashis; Moon in Punarvasu activates Jupiter's energy, favouring restoration and second chances

Today’s Observance: 25 September 2026 falls during the Pitru Paksha (Shraddha Fortnight) period, the lunar fortnight dedicated to honouring departed ancestors. Performing tarpan (ritual water offering), lighting a sesame-oil lamp facing south at dusk, or donating food to Brahmins and the needy in memory of ancestors is especially meritorious during this period. Even a simple prayer of gratitude for one's lineage today carries deep spiritual significance.

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

Venus in your seventh house of partnerships creates a magnetic pull toward meaningful one-on-one connections today — a business partner or spouse may bring an unexpected opportunity. The Moon in Punarvasu activates your third house, sharpening communication and giving you the confidence to make that call or pitch you have been postponing. However, Saturn's aspect from Kumbha cautions against impulsive financial commitments; read any contract twice before signing.

Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9

Schedule that important conversation with a collaborator before noon to ride the Amrit Choghadiya energy.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Jupiter continues its powerful transit through your own sign, and today — with the Moon in your second house of wealth in Punarvasu — a financial matter that seemed stalled finds renewed momentum. A payment delayed or an investment decision pending may finally click into place. Your natural Venusian aesthetic sense is heightened; creative professionals should use the morning hours for their most demanding work as inspiration flows freely.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Review your monthly budget or savings plan today — Jupiter's gaze rewards those who actively manage their resources.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

The Moon transits your first house (lagna) in Punarvasu, ruled by your lord Jupiter — this is personally energising and clears away recent mental fog. You may feel a strong urge to restart something you gave up earlier in the year; trust that instinct, as Punarvasu literally means 'the star of renewal.' Relationships with siblings or neighbours deserve attention, and a small gesture of reconciliation today will yield lasting goodwill.

Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5

Reach out to a sibling or close friend you have been out of touch with — this reconnection carries long-term value.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

As the Moon's own sign, Karka natives feel every transit intensely, and today's Punarvasu Moon in your twelfth house asks for quiet introspection rather than outward action. This is an ideal day for meditation, hospital or charity visits, or completing behind-the-scenes work. Spiritual practices done today — especially chanting or mantra japa — carry exceptional depth. Avoid major financial decisions or signing documents; the energy favours inner work over external projection.

Lucky Colour: Pearl White | Lucky Number: 2

Dedicate 20 minutes to meditation or pranayama this morning — your intuition will sharpen for the weekend ahead.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

The Moon activates your eleventh house of gains, networking, and elder siblings today — social connections formed now have the potential to translate into professional opportunity within a month. Venus in your third house amplifies your natural charisma in written and verbal communication; a well-crafted message or proposal sent today stands out. Saturn's steady presence in Kumbha continues to test your discipline in long-term goals — use today's social energy to expand your professional network deliberately.

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1

Attend any professional or community gathering today and introduce yourself to at least two new people — gains come through groups now.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

The Moon in your tenth house of career under Punarvasu's auspicious influence suggests a day when your work gets noticed by those who matter. A superior or client may express appreciation, or you could receive clarity on a project direction that has been ambiguous. Jupiter in your ninth house continues to bless you with wisdom and ethical grounding — if you have been considering further education, a certification, or travel for work, today's energy supports making a concrete plan.

Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 3

Document your recent achievements or update your professional profile today — visibility matters when the tenth house Moon is active.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

This is your power day of the month. Venus is in your own sign — a transit that makes you more attractive, articulate, and persuasive than usual. The Moon in your ninth house blesses travel, higher learning, and interactions with mentors. If you have a pitch, a creative presentation, or a romantic dinner planned, the stars are almost conspiring in your favour. However, avoid over-indulgence — Venus in the lagna can sometimes tip from grace into excess.

Lucky Colour: Pastel Blue | Lucky Number: 6

Make the most of today's social and professional magnetism by initiating one meaningful conversation you have been putting off.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

The Moon in your eighth house carries transformative depth — this is not a day for surface-level interactions. Scorpio natives may find themselves drawn into intense emotional or financial conversations today; approach these with patience rather than power. Research, investigation, and occult study are strongly supported. On the financial front, a joint asset, insurance matter, or inheritance-related paperwork may require your attention — handle it methodically and all will resolve smoothly.

Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Use this day to organise critical documents related to shared finances, insurance, or estate matters — eighth house clarity now prevents complications later.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

The Moon in your seventh house of partnerships — especially under Punarvasu, the nakshatra of your own ruling planet Jupiter — makes this an excellent day for collaborative endeavours and committed relationships. Business partnerships, client negotiations, and marital harmony are all highlighted positively. Venus in Tula aspects your fifth house of creativity and children; parents of young children will find meaningful bonding moments today, and creative professionals get a romantic, inspired touch to their work.

Lucky Colour: Saffron Orange | Lucky Number: 3

Plan a quality shared meal or activity with your partner or closest collaborator today — relationships deepen through shared experience right now.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your ruling planet, continues its steady transit through Kumbha, and today the Moon activates your sixth house — the arena of health, daily routine, and workplace dynamics. This is a strong day to tackle outstanding tasks and clear the backlog; your stamina is high and methodical effort pays off handsomely. Address any nagging health concern today — scheduling a check-up or fixing your sleep routine now prevents larger issues. A colleague who has been difficult may show an unexpected cooperative streak.

Lucky Colour: Steel Blue | Lucky Number: 7

Create a realistic weekly health and work routine today — Makara thrives on structure, and the sixth house Moon supports establishing discipline.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

With Saturn in your own sign, you have been in a period of slow but foundational growth for some time. Today, the Moon in your fifth house of creativity, children, and romance brings a welcome breath of lightness. A creative idea you have been incubating may suddenly feel ready to share — pitch it in the afternoon window. Romance-seekers may encounter someone interesting through a mutual friend or group activity. Students will find concentration and memory notably sharper today.

Lucky Colour: Electric Blue | Lucky Number: 4

Share a creative project or idea with a trusted person today — outside perspective will refine and strengthen what you have been building alone.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

The Moon in your fourth house of home, property, and emotional roots brings domestic matters into focus. A conversation about home improvement, property purchase or rental, or a family decision that has been deferred may come to a natural conclusion today. Jupiter in Vrishabha aspects your third house, encouraging you to speak your needs clearly at home — you are more articulate than you realise. Emotional wellbeing is closely tied to your environment today; a tidy, fragrant living space will lift your mood considerably.

Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 2

Declutter or rearrange one room at home today — a refreshed physical environment will translate directly into emotional clarity.

Vastu Tip of the Day

According to the Mahavastu tradition, the North-East corner (Ishanya) of the home is the zone of divine energy and mental clarity. On this Siddha Yoga Friday — with Jupiter's and Venus's energies both active — place a small bowl of fresh water with a few drops of ganga jal or rose water in the North-East corner of your home or workspace. Light a single white candle or diya nearby. This activates the Ishanya zone, inviting clarity, prosperity, and harmonious relationships into the household through the weekend.

Vedic Wisdom

As the great Maharishi Parasara teaches in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'Grahas (planets) are the instruments of the Divine Will, not its absolute dictates — the wise person uses their light to navigate, not as chains to be bound by.' Today's Siddha Yoga and Punarvasu nakshatra are reminders that the universe constantly offers us the chance to begin again. Whatever felt lost or stalled carries within it the seed of return. Act with intention, speak with kindness, and let the planetary currents carry your efforts forward.
