Daily Horoscope for Monday, 2 November 2026

In short: The Moon is in Cancer all day (sidereal). The tithi is Krishna Ashtami, changing to Navami at 13:11 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Ashlesha, whose deity is the Sarpas or Nagas, the serpent beings; it is a sharp (tikshna) nakshatra, traditionally suited to cutting away — ending what is finished, research, clearing. In Cancer the Moon travels with Mars.

Today's sky

Rahu kaal is the 2nd of the eight equal parts of daytime on a Monday, counted from local sunrise, so its clock time depends on where you are: in New Delhi today it runs 07:56–09:19 UTC+5:30. Many families avoid starting new work in it; your local times are on the panchang.

By Moon sign (Vedic)

Aries (Mesha)

The Moon spends the whole day in your 4th house, the house of home, mother, property and inner peace. The 4th is not among the Moon's favourable transit houses, so keep expectations around home life modest. It keeps company there with Mars, which tends to bring quick feelings and energy that wants a useful outlet. Ashlesha, the nakshatra of the day, belongs to Mercury; from your sign Mercury is in the 7th, linking the day with partnerships. It moves on to your 5th (creative and family plans) at 03:46 UTC+5:30 tomorrow. The 4th is the Moon's own house for you, so its matters feel personal today. Monday's lord, the Moon, is in your 4th (home life). Saturn in your 12th keeps you in Sade Sati, so steady, simple routines help.

Gemini (Mithuna)

The Moon spends the whole day in your 2nd house, the house of wealth, family, food and speech.
