Ruling grahaOne of the nine: the seven visible bodies plus Rahu and Ketu, the two lunar nodes. A graha is read as a force at work, not as a lump of rock.

Where the Moon is today

The Moon is in Kumbha

The Moon is in your home corner today. The day is better spent close to base: cook something, fix the room, call your mother, take the rest you keep postponing. Recharging counts as progress on a day like this.

Shukla pakshaThe bright fortnight, new Moon to full, the Moon larger every night. Most beginnings, from opening a shop to a wedding, are put in this half., DwadashiThe twelfth tithi, and the day an Ekadashi fast is broken. Getting the hour of that paran right is one reason tithi timings are printed at all. tithiThe lunar day. It runs from one step of the Moon's phase to the next, so it rarely begins at sunrise. Fasts and festivals are fixed by it. is running. Positions read at 11:37 pm IST.

Go easy on your body today. Skip heavy food and late nights, and do not ignore a small niggle. A plain money day. Pay what is due and leave the rest alone. A quiet day at home. The chore you keep postponing takes twenty minutes. Love sits quietly today. Do the small kind thing and leave it there. A normal day at work. Clear the routine and do not expect fireworks. An ordinary day for free time. One episode, one chapter, one walk, and that is fine. Home is quiet today and so is the marriage. Leave the difficult topic for another day.

Lucky number
2Moon’s number. The Moon is in your 4th today, and the 4th is Moon’s house.
Lucky colour
White and silverfor Vrischika, the same Moon the number comes from. Yellow and saffron is the whole day’s colour, for everyone, because today is Jupiter’s day.
Remedy
Offer water to the rising Sun, and eat your first meal before the day gets away from you. Health starts with the morning.For Sun, because Health is the weakest part of your day. Free, and nothing to buy.

The sentences, and the bars further down, are one score per area, from six things the day has: the Moon’s house from your rashi (the 4th, which is home, your mother, and peace indoors), the mood of the star the Moon is passing through, what the weekday is good for, and where Venus, Mars and Mercury stand from your rashi. The lucky number and colour belong to the graha whose house the Moon is standing in, so they differ for every rashi and move as she does. The remedy goes to whichever of the six areas scored worst, taking turns with anything standing over your rashi and with the lord of the day, so it is always something you can actually do this morning.

What today means for you

Four parts of life, read off the same Moon. Where the Moon is standing decides which of them today actually touches.

  • Love

    Neither warm nor cold today. A normal conversation is worth more than a grand gesture.

    Love sits in your 5th and 7th houses. The Moon is in your 4th today, which is not one of them.

  • Career

    Work runs at its usual pace. Finish what is on the table.

    Career sits in your 6th and 10th houses. The Moon is in your 4th today, which is not one of them.

  • Money

    Income and expense cancel out today. Watch the small leaks rather than the big numbers.

    Money sits in your 2nd and 11th houses. The Moon is in your 4th today, which is not one of them.

  • Health

    A bit of tiredness or a dull headache is possible. Rest before it becomes more.

    Health sits in your 1st and 6th and 8th houses. The Moon is in your 4th today, which is not one of them.

Slow transits

Neither Sade SatiThe roughly seven and a half years Saturn takes to cross the sign before your Moon, your Moon sign itself, and the one after.

This rashi’s own nature

What kind of rashi Vrischika is

Every rashi has a lord and an element. What makes Vrischika a particular rashi is who else shares them. Karka and Meena are the other two water rashis, and they stand at the 5th and the 9th from Vrischika — on this wheel an element and a trikona are the same triangle.

Mars rules Mesha as well, so those and Vrischika answer to one graha — whatever Mars is doing in the sky, it is doing to both.

Moon sign, not sun sign

Is Vrischika really your rashi?

Your rashi is your moon sign — where the Moon stood when you were born — not the Western sun sign from your birthday, and for most people the two are different.
