Panchang — Tuesday, 10 November 2026

Tithi: Pratipada (Shukla Paksha — First day of waxing moon) | Nakshatra: Hasta (Moon in Hasta nakshatra, ruled by the Moon itself — skilled hands, quick thinking, commerce favoured) | Yoga: Siddha Yoga (highly auspicious for initiating new ventures and signing agreements)

Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 7:42 AM – 9:18 AM (Abhijit Muhurat: 11:48 AM – 12:36 PM)

Planetary Note: Saturn transits Kumbha (own sign), Jupiter is in Vrishabha, Mars occupies Mithuna and squares today's Hasta Moon in Kanya. Rahu is in Meena, Ketu in Kanya. Mercury transits Tula in a close conjunction with Venus — communications and partnerships carry heightened emotional and commercial weight today.

Today’s Observance: 10 November 2026 marks the first day of Kartik Shukla Pratipada — the beginning of the bright fortnight in the sacred month of Kartik, one of the holiest months in the Vaishnava and Shaiva traditions. Devotees light diyas at dawn and dusk throughout Kartik month, offer Tulsi prayers, and many undertake Kartik snan (pre-dawn ritual baths). This is considered especially meritorious for new beginnings, charitable giving, and ancestral remembrance. Lighting a ghee lamp at sunrise today before beginning your day's work is considered highly auspicious.

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 ruler Mars is active in the third house of communication and initiative, giving you an unusual surge of persuasive energy today. This is an excellent Tuesday to pitch an idea to a senior, make a sales call, or negotiate a pending deal — your words carry authority. However, Mars squaring the Moon warns against aggressive phrasing in family discussions by evening; what you mean as directness will land as harshness.

Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9

Make your most important phone call or proposal before noon — the morning Abhijit Muhurat between 11:48 AM and 12:36 PM is especially powerful for you today.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Venus and Mercury are conjunct in your sixth house of Tula, sharpening your ability to handle workplace disputes with both logic and diplomacy — a rare and valuable combination. If a colleague has been difficult or a service provider has let you down, today is the day to address it calmly and get a resolution. Jupiter in your own sign continues to expand your confidence, but be mindful of overspending on comfort items; a brief financial indulgence could snowball.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Draft that complaint letter, HR communication, or professional objection you have been postponing — Venus in Tula ensures your tone will be persuasive rather than abrasive.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Mars is transiting your own sign (Lagna), which can be an energising transit but also one that makes you reactive and prone to scattered effort. Today, channel this restless energy into physical activity or a project requiring rapid execution — writing, coding, designing, or logistics. Avoid making permanent financial commitments today, as Mars in the first house can blur the line between bold and reckless. A short walk or exercise session in the morning will help you regulate the excess energy and think more clearly.

Lucky Colour: Emerald Green | Lucky Number: 5

Begin your workday with 20 minutes of physical movement — this will anchor Mars's restless energy and give you focused clarity for the hours that matter most.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

The Moon, your ruling planet, is in Hasta nakshatra in Kanya — your third house of siblings, short travel, and skill expression. This is an outstanding day for artisans, writers, teachers, designers, and anyone whose work involves the hands and the mind together. A sibling or close friend may reach out with an opportunity that seems small but deserves careful attention. Emotionally, the Moon-Mars square may leave you feeling slightly edgy by afternoon — do not make relationship decisions in that window.

Lucky Colour: Pearl White | Lucky Number: 2

Revisit a creative project or skill you have neglected — Hasta nakshatra under your Moon ruler makes today one of the most productive days of this month for detailed, craft-based work.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

The Sun is moving through your fourth house of home, property, and emotional security, bringing domestic matters into focus. A conversation about real estate, home renovation, or a parental matter that you have been avoiding needs to happen this week — today's Siddha Yoga supports honest dialogue. Saturn in Kumbha aspects your seventh house, creating some tension in your primary partnership; listen actively rather than asserting your position and you will find the discussion productive rather than adversarial.

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1

Have the domestic conversation you have been deferring — approach it as a listener first, speaker second, and Saturn's seventh-house aspect will work in your favour rather than against you.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

The Moon is transiting your own sign in Hasta nakshatra today, heightening your natural analytical precision and emotional sensitivity simultaneously — a powerful but demanding combination. Ketu is also in Kanya, which can make you overly self-critical and prone to second-guessing decisions. Trust your first instinct today, especially in professional matters. Health-wise, the Moon-Mars square may manifest as mild digestive sensitivity or eye strain — eat lightly and take screen breaks every ninety minutes.

Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 5

Write down your three most important tasks for today before opening any app or message — with Ketu clouding mental clarity, a physical list will anchor your Hasta-sharpened precision beautifully.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Venus and Mercury are both transiting your first house (Lagna) in Tula — this is a rare and beautiful alignment for self-presentation, creative expression, and romantic connection. If you have been meaning to update your professional profile, present a portfolio, or plan a romantic evening, today's cosmic setup could not be more supportive. The only caution: Mercury's conjunction with Venus can make you over-explain or intellectualise feelings — sometimes a sincere, brief expression of affection outweighs a perfectly constructed argument.

Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 6

Upgrade your LinkedIn profile, personal bio, or any public-facing presentation today — the Venus-Mercury conjunction in your Lagna makes your self-expression compelling and credible.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

Mars, your co-ruler, occupies your eighth house of research, hidden matters, and transformative finance — an intense but potentially rewarding placement. Today is excellent for deep investigation: due diligence on an investment, background research on a business partner, or uncovering information that clarifies a long-standing confusion. Avoid signing joint-asset agreements today, however, as Mars-Moon tension can cloud fine-print judgment. Your intuition is running sharp — a hunch about a financial matter deserves to be verified, not dismissed.

Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Spend 30 minutes today researching the financial or legal matter you have been putting aside — Mars in the eighth gives you the investigative sharpness to find what you need.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Jupiter in Vrishabha aspects your fifth house of education, children, and speculative investments — a beneficial influence for creative and learning-related pursuits. If you have children preparing for exams or admissions, today is a good day to sit with them and assess their progress; your counsel will be well-received and genuinely helpful. For those in creative fields, an idea that surfaces between 10 AM and noon has commercial merit — record it immediately. Avoid high-risk financial speculation despite Jupiter's optimistic influence.

Lucky Colour: Saffron Orange | Lucky Number: 3

Journal or voice-record any creative or academic idea that surfaces this morning — Jupiter's fifth-house aspect under Siddha Yoga makes today's inspirations unusually worth developing.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your ruler, is in its own sign Kumbha — sitting in your second house of wealth, speech, and family values. This is a steadying influence that rewards disciplined financial behaviour and thoughtful communication. If you have been considering a fixed deposit, insurance plan, or any long-term savings instrument, today's Siddha Yoga with Saturn's stabilising second-house presence makes it an excellent day to initiate that conversation with your bank or advisor. Avoid blunt remarks in family settings — Saturn in the second cuts speech sharp today.

Lucky Colour: Navy Blue | Lucky Number: 8

Review and act on one long-deferred financial planning task — open that savings account, pay that overdue premium, or consult your CA about tax planning for this quarter.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn is transiting your own sign, Kumbha — a powerful multi-year placement that is slowly restructuring your identity, lifestyle, and long-term ambitions. Today, with the Moon in your eighth house (Kanya in Hasta), there is a pull toward introspection and even some melancholy; use this reflective mood productively. This is an excellent day for journaling, therapy, meditation, or reviewing where your career trajectory truly stands versus where you wish it were. Rahu in Meena aspects your second house — be careful about impulsive food expenses or social spending today.

Lucky Colour: Ultramarine Blue | Lucky Number: 7

Spend 15 quiet minutes today honestly reviewing one major life goal — Saturn in your Lagna rewards self-audit and punishes self-deception; clarity now saves considerable pain later.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

Rahu is currently in your sign, Meena, amplifying your desires, ambitions, and sometimes your anxieties. Today, Jupiter in Vrishabha casts a beneficial trine to your third house, supporting collaborative projects, skill upgrades, and short-distance travel for work purposes. If a partnership or collaboration has stalled, a brief, in-person meeting today could restart momentum — Rahu in your sign makes you magnetically persuasive in face-to-face interactions. Health-wise, guard against lower back strain if your work involves long hours of sitting.

Lucky Colour: Sea Green | Lucky Number: 3

Pursue that in-person meeting or site visit you have been replacing with messages — Rahu in your Lagna combined with Jupiter's trine makes your physical presence today far more effective than digital communication.

Vastu Tip of the Day

According to Mahavastu principles, Tuesday is governed by Mars (Mangal), the planet of energy, construction, and assertiveness. Today, place a small bowl of red flowers — preferably hibiscus or roses — in the South zone of your home or office. The South is Mars's directional domain. This activates fame, courage, and professional recognition energy. Ensure this zone is clean and free of broken objects or unused clutter, as blocked South energy under a Mars-ruled day can manifest as stalled projects and interpersonal conflict. If your home office faces South, it is an auspicious day to submit proposals or close pending work.

Vedic Wisdom

Maharishi Parasara reminds us in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are the instruments of the Divine Will, not its prison wardens.' Today's Siddha Yoga is a reminder that the cosmos itself is in an auspicious mood — your intentions, sharpened by awareness and anchored by action, are the final variable in any outcome. Act with clarity, speak with care, and let the sacred month of Kartik remind you that even a single lamp, sincerely lit, holds back enormous darkness.
