Panchang — Wednesday, 11 November 2026

Tithi: Pratipada (Shukla Paksha — first day of waxing Moon) | Nakshatra: Uttara Phalguni (Pada 2-3) — ruled by Sun, governed by Aryaman | Yoga: Siddha Yoga — highly auspicious for initiating new ventures and signing agreements

Auspicious Window (Muhurat): 7:42 AM – 9:18 AM and 2:15 PM – 3:45 PM IST (ideal for contracts, travel bookings, and financial decisions)

Planetary Note: Saturn holds a steady position in Kumbha; Jupiter is transiting Vrishabha casting its benefic fifth-house aspect on Kanya; Mercury in Tula sharpens communication for all signs today. The waxing Moon in Kanya activates earthy, analytical energies — decisions made today carry long-term weight.

Today’s Observance: 11 November 2026 falls in the auspicious period of Kartik Shukla Paksha (the bright fortnight of Kartik month). Kartik is considered the holiest month of the Hindu calendar — daily lamp-lighting (Deep Daan) at a river, well, or home altar is especially meritorious now. Devotees observing Kartik Vrat should offer a ghee lamp at their home mandir at dusk and recite the Kartik Mahatmya. Ekadashi (the eleventh lunar day) falls within days — begin preparing for a one-day fast if observing Devutthana Ekadashi this week.

Mesh / Aries (April 14 – May 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

Your sixth house of work and service is activated by today's Moon in Kanya, pushing health and professional routines to the forefront. A colleague or subordinate may bring an issue to your desk that requires quick but careful handling — avoid reactive decisions. Mars, your ruler, lends you stamina today, but Saturn's steady gaze from Kumbha reminds you that shortcuts in health habits (especially diet and sleep) will catch up with you.

Lucky Colour: Coral Red | Lucky Number: 9

Tackle that one pending health check-up or administrative task you have been deferring — Siddha Yoga makes today powerful for completing obligations.

Vrishabha / Taurus (May 15 – June 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Jupiter, the great benefic, is transiting your own sign right now — a rare and deeply fortuitous position that expands your financial acumen and personal credibility. Today, the Moon in Kanya activates your fifth house of creativity, children, and speculation. If you have been mulling over a creative project or a moderate investment, today's Siddha Yoga is your green light to begin. A conversation with a younger family member or student could bring unexpected inspiration.

Lucky Colour: Ivory White | Lucky Number: 6

Spend even 20 minutes sketching out that creative idea or business plan — Jupiter in your sign means what you launch now carries a long runway.

Mithuna / Gemini (June 15 – July 14)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

Mercury, your ruling planet, sits comfortably in Tula — your fifth house — gifting you eloquence, wit, and sharp analytical thinking today. This is an excellent day for writers, teachers, marketing professionals, and anyone who must present ideas persuasively. Your words carry unusual power this Wednesday; a well-crafted email or pitch made in the morning muhurat window could open a door you have knocked on before. Avoid gossip, as Mercury's double-edged energy can also cause words to be misinterpreted.

Lucky Colour: Forest Green | Lucky Number: 5

Draft and send that proposal or creative pitch before noon — Mercury's energy is sharpest in the morning hours today.

Karka / Cancer (July 15 – August 14)

Ruling Planet: Moon

The Moon, your ruler, transiting Kanya today activates your third house of communication, siblings, and short travels. This is a productive day for reconnecting with a sibling or close friend with whom communication has lapsed. A short trip or a local errand could yield an unexpected and pleasant meeting. Financially, avoid lending money today even to family — Saturn's position in Kumbha casts a cautionary eighth-house aspect on your finances, suggesting that borrowed money may be difficult to recover.

Lucky Colour: Pearl White | Lucky Number: 2

Make that phone call to a sibling or old friend — third-house Moon energy rewards personal outreach with warmth and renewed bonds today.

Simha / Leo (August 15 – September 15)

Ruling Planet: Sun

The Moon in Kanya lights up your second house of family, speech, and accumulated wealth today. This is a strong day for financial conversations — discussing salary revisions, family budgets, or investment plans with your spouse or parents will yield clearer outcomes than usual. However, watch your tone in family discussions; the Sun's diminished seasonal strength asks you to lead through warmth rather than authority. A family elder may have valuable advice — set aside ego and listen.

Lucky Colour: Golden Yellow | Lucky Number: 1

Initiate that family financial discussion today in the afternoon muhurat — clarity of communication is high, and practical decisions made now will hold.

Kanya / Virgo (September 16 – October 15)

Ruling Planet: Mercury

The Moon transits your own sign today, making this a personally significant day for Kanya natives. Your intuition is razor-sharp, your powers of observation heightened, and others will notice your composure and competence. Jupiter's fifth-house aspect from Vrishabha also blesses your sign with spiritual and intellectual depth. This is an outstanding day for self-care, visiting a trusted physician, or beginning a wellness protocol. At work, trust your first analysis — your read of a situation today will prove accurate.

Lucky Colour: Sage Green | Lucky Number: 5

Begin that health or fitness routine you have researched — Jupiter's aspect combined with the Moon in your sign gives your wellness intentions lasting momentum.

Tula / Libra (October 16 – November 14)

Ruling Planet: Venus

Mercury is transiting Tula — your own sign — making this one of your most intellectually potent stretches of the year. Today, Siddha Yoga amplifies Mercury's presence: sign documents, negotiate terms, or close a deal that has been in discussion. The twelfth-house Moon in Kanya, however, asks you to tend to your inner world too — restlessness or mild anxiety may surface if you ignore rest. Balance your busy mind with a short meditation or walk in nature between meetings.

Lucky Colour: Sky Blue | Lucky Number: 7

Use the morning muhurat to finalise any pending legal or business paperwork — Mercury in your sign makes your mind the sharpest instrument in the room.

Vrishchika / Scorpio (November 15 – December 14)

Ruling Planet: Mars

The Moon in Kanya activates your eleventh house of gains, networks, and elder siblings today — a highly favourable position for income opportunities and social expansion. Expect a contact from your professional network to open a door you had not anticipated. This is also a good day to follow up on a pending payment or dues owed to you. Mars, your co-ruler, gives you assertiveness; channel it through negotiation rather than confrontation and you will see results by evening.

Lucky Colour: Deep Maroon | Lucky Number: 8

Follow up on that pending business receivable or professional introduction today — the eleventh-house Moon rarely fails to deliver when you take initiative.

Dhanu / Sagittarius (December 15 – January 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

The tenth house — your career and public reputation — receives the Moon's transit today, spotlighting your professional life. Supervisors and authority figures are watching more closely than usual; a well-timed display of competence or a thoughtful contribution in a meeting today will register. Jupiter's current transit through Vrishabha places it in your sixth house, suggesting that disciplined daily effort is quietly building foundations for a bigger professional leap in coming months. Do not underestimate the unglamorous tasks today.

Lucky Colour: Turmeric Yellow | Lucky Number: 3

Arrive early or submit a report ahead of deadline today — the tenth-house Moon means professional visibility is high and impressions made now last.

Makara / Capricorn (January 14 – February 12)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn, your ruler, is in Kumbha — your second house — continuing its slow and transformative work on your financial foundations and family dynamics. The Moon in Kanya activates your ninth house of dharma, higher learning, and fortune today, bringing a welcome sense of purpose and even a stroke of unexpected good luck. This is an excellent day for spiritual practice, consulting a mentor, or enrolling in an educational programme. Travel related to spiritual or academic pursuits is especially well-aspected.

Lucky Colour: Indigo Blue | Lucky Number: 8

Spend time with a teacher, guru, or wise elder today — ninth-house Moon energy connects you with guidance that changes your longer-term direction.

Kumbha / Aquarius (February 13 – March 13)

Ruling Planet: Saturn

Saturn transits your own sign, Kumbha — a defining, once-in-30-years transit that is restructuring your identity, purpose, and long-term commitments. Today's Moon in Kanya activates your eighth house, calling for depth over surface activity. Research, investigation, joint finances, or matters of insurance and inherited property may come up. Avoid rash decisions about shared resources today; instead, gather information with the analytical precision this eighth-house Moon grants you. A hidden detail revealed today could save you significantly.

Lucky Colour: Charcoal Grey | Lucky Number: 4

Review a joint financial document, insurance policy, or property paper today — eighth-house Moon illuminates what was hidden, and what you find will be worth knowing.

Meena / Pisces (March 14 – April 13)

Ruling Planet: Jupiter

The Moon in Kanya occupies your seventh house of partnerships — marital, business, and legal — making this a pivotal day for one-on-one relationships. If you have been navigating a tension with a spouse or business partner, today's Siddha Yoga combined with Mercury's clarity from Tula creates an ideal environment for honest, productive conversation. Single Meena natives may encounter an interesting connection through a professional or social setting. Avoid signing partnership agreements after 4 PM as the Moon begins to shift in energy.

Lucky Colour: Soft Lavender | Lucky Number: 3

Have that important conversation with your partner — personal or professional — in the morning or early afternoon, when the seventh-house Moon's energy is most receptive and clear.

Vastu Tip of the Day

According to the Mahavastu Handbook and classical Vastu Shastra principles, Wednesday is governed by Mercury, the planet of commerce, communication, and intellect. Today, activate your home or office's North zone — Mercury's directional domain — by keeping it clutter-free and well-lit. Place a small green plant (tulsi or money plant) in the North sector of your workspace to stimulate the flow of Vyapara Shakti (commercial energy). Avoid storing heavy furniture or junk in the North direction, as this blocks Mercury's mercantile and communicative blessings throughout the week.

Vedic Wisdom

Maharishi Parasara reminds us in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra: 'The planets are but instruments of karma; the soul that acts with awareness and virtue transforms even the most challenging transits into stepping stones.' Today's Siddha Yoga is not an external gift — it is an invitation to meet your own highest intention with equal discipline. Act with clarity, speak with kindness, and let Mercury's Wednesday sharpen your mind into a tool of genuine service.
