Panchang — Monday, 9 November 2026
Tithi: Triodashi (13th tithi), Krishna Paksha — waning gibbous, approaching full dissolution | Nakshatra: Anuradha (Scorpio 3°20'–16°40') — ruled by Saturn, presided over by Mitra, the deity of friendship and covenant | Yoga: Shiva Yoga — auspicious for spiritual disciplines, meditation, and long-term planning
Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 07:42–09:18 IST (Abhijit Muhurat window; suitable for signing agreements, travel, and new professional commitments)
Planetary Note: Saturn holds steady in Kumbha (Aquarius), Jupiter transits Vrishabha (Taurus) in direct motion, Mars is in Mithuna (Gemini) energising communication and short travel; Moon in Anuradha nakshatra amplifies loyalty, perseverance, and hidden emotional currents for all rashis today.
Today’s Observance: 9 November 2026 falls in the Krishna Paksha of Kartik month — an especially sacred period in the Vaishnava calendar. Kartik Snan (the daily dawn bath during the entire month of Kartik) continues to be observed by devout Hindus. This month's Krishna Paksha is associated with offerings to ancestors and lighting of Kartik deepas (earthen lamps) at dusk. Additionally, 9 November is the Parkash Purab anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji (celebrated on the full moon of Kartik — Guru Nanak Jayanti 2026 falls on 14 November, so this week carries the energy of preparation and devotion for Sikh communities).
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, is transiting Mithuna — your 3rd house of communication, siblings, and short travel. This energises your voice and initiative: a conversation you have today could unlock a professional collaboration you've been waiting on. However, the Moon in your 8th house (Scorpio) warns against impulsive financial decisions, particularly joint accounts or shared investments. Examine the fine print before committing.
Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9
Make that follow-up call or send the proposal email before noon — your words carry unusual persuasive power in the morning hours today.
Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
Jupiter is currently gracing your own sign (Vrishabha) in direct motion — a transit that B.V. Raman described as 'the tide of benevolence flowing into one's own harbour.' Today, with the Moon in your 7th house, partnerships — business and personal — come into sharp focus. A spouse or close collaborator may bring an idea that deserves more than casual attention. Financial expansion through partnerships is well-starred this month; today is a good day to begin those discussions.
Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6
Have the candid conversation you've been postponing with your partner — Jupiter in your sign makes you unusually receptive and generous today.
Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Mars transiting your own sign (Mithuna) has been stoking your energy and ambition for weeks, but today's Moon in your 6th house (Scorpio) redirects attention to health routines, colleagues, and workplace dynamics. If a co-worker has been difficult, the Anuradha nakshatra energy today supports patient diplomacy rather than confrontation. This is an excellent day to tackle a pending task you've been avoiding — the Mars-fuelled drive will see it through.
Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5
Prioritise completing one outstanding work task today — the momentum will relieve stress you haven't fully acknowledged.
Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)
Ruling Planet: Moon
As a Moon-ruled sign, you feel today's Anuradha placement deeply — there is a pull toward loyalty, old bonds, and introspection. The Moon is in your 5th house (Scorpio), making this an outstanding day for creative work, children's matters, and romantic expression. If you have been nurturing a creative project, the intensity of the 5th-house Moon in Scorpio gives it emotional depth. Students writing exams or preparing presentations will find their focus unusually sharp today.
Lucky Colour: Pearlescent Silver | Lucky Number: 2
Spend twenty minutes on a creative or artistic pursuit this evening — it will recharge you far more than scrolling your phone.
Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)
Ruling Planet: Sun
The Moon transiting your 4th house (Scorpio) draws your energy firmly toward home, family, and emotional roots today. If there has been unresolved tension with a parent or family elder, today's Shiva Yoga offers a window for reconciliation — approach with patience and you will find the other person more receptive than expected. Property matters that have been stalled may also receive a nudge forward; check for any pending documentation in your home purchase or rental agreements.
Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1
Call a family member you haven't spoken to in a while — the conversation will anchor you emotionally for the rest of the week.
Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)
Ruling Planet: Mercury
Moon in your 3rd house (Scorpio) supercharges communication, writing, and local travel. Mercury, your ruler, is aspecting this zone favourably, making today one of the better days this month for Kanya natives to pitch ideas, present reports, or negotiate terms. However, Saturn in Kumbha aspects your 6th house — discipline at work is under scrutiny. Avoid cutting corners; your diligence today will be noted by the right people.
Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 14
Submit that report or creative proposal today — the clarity of your thinking is exceptional before 2 PM.
Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)
Ruling Planet: Venus
The Moon occupies your 2nd house of wealth, speech, and family (Scorpio) today, shining a spotlight on financial matters and how you communicate value — both your self-worth and your monetary worth. Jupiter in your 8th house (Vrishabha) can bring unexpected financial gains through inheritance, insurance settlements, or a partner's income. However, avoid lending money today — the 2nd-house Moon in Scorpio warns that what goes out may not return easily.
Lucky Colour: Dusty Rose | Lucky Number: 7
Review your monthly budget and identify one unnecessary subscription or expense to cancel — small savings compound quietly but powerfully.
Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)
Ruling Planet: Mars
The Moon transiting your own sign (Vrishchika) in Anuradha nakshatra makes this a powerful day of emotional clarity and magnetic personal presence. Varahamihira noted in Brihat Jataka that the Moon in its transit through one's own rashi sharpens intuition to its finest edge — trust your gut today, particularly in professional dealings. With Mars in your 8th house (Mithuna), there is intensity around research, investigation, and uncovering hidden information. If you are in law, finance, medicine, or research, today rewards deep digging.
Lucky Colour: Maroon | Lucky Number: 8
Trust your first instinct in a professional decision today — your intuition is operating at peak clarity and will not mislead you.
Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
The Moon moves through your 12th house (Scorpio) today — a placement that classical texts associate with retreat, expenditure, and spiritual contemplation. This is not a day for aggressive outward action; instead, Dhanu natives will find that inward investment pays dividends. Meditation, journalling, or a visit to a place of worship this morning can set a productive contemplative tone. Watch discretionary spending carefully — the 12th-house Moon has a tendency to loosen the wallet in ways you regret by evening.
Lucky Colour: Saffron | Lucky Number: 3
Start your day with ten minutes of quiet sitting before checking your phone — your best ideas today will emerge from stillness, not noise.
Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn, your ruler, in Kumbha (your 2nd house) has been slowly reshaping your relationship with money and speech for the past year — asking for discipline, delayed gratification, and honesty. Today, with the Moon in your 11th house (Scorpio) of gains and networks, there is a welcome opening: a professional contact or social connection made today could bear significant fruit by early 2027. Attend any networking event, online meeting, or social gathering you have been debating skipping.
Lucky Colour: Steel Blue | Lucky Number: 10
Reach out to one professional contact you've lost touch with — the 11th-house Moon makes reconnections unusually fruitful today.
Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)
Ruling Planet: Saturn
Saturn transits your own sign (Kumbha), and today's Moon in your 10th house (Scorpio — the career house) creates a powerful Kendra activation. This is one of the strongest days this month for Kumbha natives in career matters. A decision made or a commitment honoured today in your professional sphere will have lasting consequences — positive ones if you act with integrity and long-term thinking. Avoid rushing promotions or shortcuts; the Saturn-Moon combination rewards thoroughness.
Lucky Colour: Indigo | Lucky Number: 11
Take the initiative in a leadership task at work today — your composure under pressure is being observed and will be remembered.
Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)
Ruling Planet: Jupiter
Jupiter in Vrishabha (your 3rd house of communication) is expanding your voice, writing ability, and desire for learning. Today, with the Moon in your 9th house (Scorpio — the dharma house), there is a beautiful alignment between your intellectual curiosity and your higher values. This is an auspicious day to begin a course of study, enrol in a workshop, or engage with a mentor or teacher. Any pilgrimage, religious activity, or philosophical reading will feel especially resonant and rewarding today.
Lucky Colour: Aquamarine | Lucky Number: 12
Enrol in that online course or book that seminar you've been considering — today's cosmic alignment gives new learning a strong and lasting foundation.
Vastu Tip of the Day
Monday is governed by the Moon, lord of the North-West direction (Vayavya). According to the Mahavastu Handbook, activating the North-West zone of your home or office on Mondays strengthens relationships, incoming support from others, and mental calm. Today, place a bowl of fresh white flowers (jasmine, tuberose, or white chrysanthemums) in the North-West corner of your living room or workspace. Keep this zone clutter-free — blocked North-West energy on Moon-ruled days is linked to restlessness, difficulty in receiving help, and disturbed sleep.
Vedic Wisdom
Parasara reminds us in Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are but instruments in the hands of the divine — their light falls equally on all; it is the quality of our actions (karma) that determines what we do with that light.' Today, whichever rashi you belong to, remember that every planetary transit is an invitation, not a verdict. Act with awareness, speak with kindness, and let today's Moon in Anuradha — the nakshatra of devoted friendship — remind you that our connections with others are among the most powerful karmas we weave.
