Panchang — Wednesday, 4 November 2026
Tithi: Navami (Shukla Paksha, ninth lunar day — auspicious for new beginnings and worship of Devi) | Nakshatra: Rohini (Vrishabha's most fertile asterism, ruled by Moon — favours agriculture, arts, commerce, and beauty) | Yoga: Siddha Yoga (highly auspicious — actions begun today carry forward momentum)
Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:42 AM – 09:18 AM IST (Abhijit Muhurat: 11:48 AM – 12:36 PM IST for important decisions)
Planetary Note: Mercury (retrograde-shadow, Tula) forms a applying square to Saturn (Kumbha); Moon in Rohini trines Mars in Karka — emotional energy is channelled productively. Jupiter retrograde in Vrishabha casts a 9th-house trine over Makara, amplifying wisdom and long-term planning for earth signs.
Today’s Observance: 4 November 2026 falls during Kartik Shukla Navami — an auspicious day in the Kartik month sacred to Lord Vishnu. Devotees observing Kartik Vrat are encouraged to light a lamp (deepa) near the Tulsi plant at dawn and dusk, offer water to the Sun, and read or listen to the Vishnu Sahasranama. This month-long observance, described in the Skanda Purana, is considered exceptionally meritorious for spiritual and material progress.
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 ruler, sits in Karka in your 4th house today, stirring domestic affairs with unusual energy — a conversation about property, renovation, or a family financial matter has been pending and today's Siddha Yoga gives you the confidence to initiate it. However, Mercury's tension with Saturn warns you not to sign documents or finalise loan agreements without reading every clause twice. By evening, the Moon in Rohini softens the atmosphere at home; cook a meal together or redecorate a corner — small acts of nurturing rebuild relationships.
Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9
Raise the domestic issue before noon using the Abhijit Muhurat, but delay signing paperwork by at least 48 hours.
Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
The Moon passes through your own sign today in the auspicious Rohini nakshatra — your birth star — making this a personally empowering day. Jupiter retrograde in your 1st house is revisiting old ambitions: a creative project, a business idea, or a course of study you once set aside may resurface with renewed clarity. This is an excellent day to journal, speak to a mentor, or sketch out a revised plan. Financially, avoid impulsive online purchases despite Venus in Dhanu highlighting your desire for luxury; channel that energy into researching investment options instead.
Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6
Spend 20 minutes today revisiting an abandoned goal — Jupiter retrograde is literally handing it back to you.
Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mercury is your chart ruler and its current shadow-retrograde tension with Saturn in Kumbha falls across your 9th house of belief, education, and foreign matters — expect delays or miscommunications in anything involving overseas clients, universities, or legal approvals. Do not interpret silence as rejection; bureaucratic wheels are simply slow today. Redirect your formidable mental energy inward: research, reading, and strategic planning are richly productive. A sibling or neighbour may bring surprisingly good news by late afternoon.
Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5
Follow up on any pending overseas or institutional communication via email today, but do not escalate or assume — give it three more business days.
Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)
Ruling Planet: Moon
Mars transiting your own sign energises your personality and physical drive — you appear bold, persuasive, and direct to colleagues and clients today, which is a genuine competitive advantage. Use this Mars-boost to pitch a proposal, negotiate a raise, or lead a meeting. The Moon in Rohini (your ruling planet) in Vrishabha creates a harmonious 11th-house trine, connecting your emotional confidence to your professional network. However, guard against speaking too sharply; Mars can make the tongue an instrument of conflict — pause before reacting to provocations.
Lucky Colour: Silver | Lucky Number: 2
Make that call or send that proposal before 1 PM — your personal magnetism is at a seasonal peak, use it.
Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)
Ruling Planet: Sun
Sun is now in Tula, your 3rd house of communication, courage, and short travels — you are articulate and persuasive, but Sun in a sign of its debilitation (Tula) means overconfidence can undermine you. Today specifically, the Rohini Moon activates your 10th house of career in a highly visible way: a superior may notice your work, or you may be asked to present or lead unexpectedly. Prepare quietly and let your competence do the talking rather than seeking the spotlight. Health-wise, back and spine need attention — avoid prolonged sitting.
Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1
Before any important meeting today, review your material once more — the 10th house spotlight is on; be ready, not reactive.
Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mercury's shadow period and its square to Saturn affect you deeply as a Kanya native — communications in your 2nd house (finances, speech, family resources) feel blocked or slow. A financial discussion with a family member that you have been avoiding must now be handled with both tact and clarity; write down your points before the conversation. The positive news: Venus in Dhanu in your 4th house brings warmth to domestic life — an unexpected act of kindness from a family member lifts your spirits significantly by evening. Consider this a rebalancing day.
Lucky Colour: Moss Green | Lucky Number: 14
Prepare talking points before any financial family discussion today — written clarity prevents Mercury-Saturn miscommunication.
Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
The Sun occupies your 1st house (Tula), making you visible and self-aware, though Sun's debilitation here reminds you that recognition comes through collaboration, not assertion. Mercury, also in your sign, is your strongest ally today — writing, negotiation, digital work, and all forms of communication are sharpened. Reach out to someone in your network whose connection has gone cold; Mercury on a Wednesday is perfect for rekindling professional relationships. Romantically, Venus in Dhanu in your 3rd house suggests a playful, intellectually stimulating exchange with a partner or potential match.
Lucky Colour: Pastel Blue | Lucky Number: 7
Send that professional reconnection message today — the alignment of Mercury on Wednesday in your sign makes it the optimal moment.
Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
Mars in Karka occupies your 9th house of dharma, higher education, and long-distance connections — a surge of philosophical curiosity or a renewed interest in spiritual practice is very natural now. If you have been considering enrolling in an advanced course, a certification, or attending a spiritual retreat, today's Siddha Yoga and 9th-house Mars make it an auspicious day to pay the fees or commit. Saturn in your 4th house continues its long-term restructuring of your home and emotional foundations — a property matter may require attention this week but will ultimately resolve in your favour over the coming months.
Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8
Make a formal commitment today to one learning or spiritual goal — Mars in the 9th will sustain your motivation through the month.
Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Venus graces your own sign today, bringing charm, aesthetic sensibility, and social grace — this is one of the more personally pleasant days you have had recently. Use this energy in any context requiring diplomacy: a client presentation, a creative pitch, or even a family negotiation. Jupiter retrograde in Vrishabha occupies your 6th house, prompting a review of your health routines and work processes. Have you let discipline slip since the festive season? Today is ideal for recommitting to a fitness schedule or dietary adjustment — small and consistent beats dramatic and short-lived.
Lucky Colour: Saffron Orange | Lucky Number: 3
Book that doctor's check-up, gym session, or nutritionist appointment today — Jupiter retrograde in the 6th is the cosmic prompt you have been waiting for.
Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Jupiter retrograde in Vrishabha casts its expansive 9th-house trine directly onto your sign today — this is a rare and potent window of wisdom, long-term vision, and financial intuition. If you have been evaluating a property investment, a retirement instrument, or a business expansion, today's clarity is worth documenting. Saturn, your ruler, in Kumbha in your 2nd house reinforces discipline around money — the combination says: plan boldly but spend carefully. On the relationship front, the Rohini Moon in your 5th house sparks warmth and creativity; spend meaningful, unhurried time with children or a romantic partner this evening.
Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 10
Write out your 12-month financial goal today while Jupiter's trine is active — Saturn in the 2nd will help you stick to it.
Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn sits in your own sign (Kumbha), and while its slow discipline has been both stabilising and demanding over the past period, today Mercury's square to your ruler creates friction in professional communication — an email, approval, or collaborative project hits an unexpected snag. Do not force resolution; use the delay productively to refine your proposal or add missing detail. The Moon in Rohini activates your 4th house, pulling your attention homeward: a parent or elder family member may need your time or reassurance today, and giving it freely brings unexpected inner peace.
Lucky Colour: Electric Blue | Lucky Number: 11
Before sending any formal professional communication today, have a trusted colleague review it — Mercury-Saturn squares hide the errors we cannot see ourselves.
Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter, your ruler, is retrograde in Vrishabha in your 3rd house — a beautiful transit for writers, teachers, communicators, and spiritual seekers who want to deepen existing knowledge rather than chase new horizons. If you are in a creative profession, today is exceptionally fruitful for editing, revising, and polishing existing work rather than starting fresh. Financially, an outstanding payment or old receivable may show signs of movement — follow up with a courteous but firm message before noon. The evening Rohini Moon in your 3rd house makes this an ideal night to write, record, or have a heart-to-heart conversation with someone you deeply trust.
Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 7
Follow up on that pending payment or old financial matter before noon — today's planetary alignment supports resolution of lingering transactions.
Vastu Tip of the Day
Wednesday is associated with Mercury (Budh) and the element of Earth in Vastu tradition. Per the Mahavastu Handbook, the North direction (governed by Mercury and Kubera, lord of wealth) should be kept clutter-free and well-lit to enhance financial flow and mental clarity. Today, clear any stacked papers, unused electronics, or old bills from the North wall or North corner of your home or office — replace with a small green plant (money plant or tulsi) to activate Mercury's prosperous energy. Avoid placing shoe racks or dustbins in the North under any circumstances.
Vedic Wisdom
Maharishi Parasara reminds us in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are the instruments of karma, not its authors — the soul that understands its transits understands the rhythm of its own unfolding.' Today's Mercury-Wednesday alignment is an invitation to communicate with precision, listen with patience, and trust that every apparent delay is a hidden refinement. Act with awareness; the cosmos does the rest. — Yogi Arya, IndiaWorldEye Vedic Astrology
