Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, 18 November 2026

In short: The Moon is in Aquarius all day (sidereal). The tithi is Shukla Navami. Around midday the Moon is in Shatabhisha, whose deity is Varuna, lord of the waters and of cosmic order; it is a movable (chara) nakshatra, traditionally suited to movement and change — travel, errands, rearranging. In Aquarius the Moon travels with Rahu. Mars (7th-house aspect) and Jupiter (7th-house aspect) aspect its sign — adding heat, so pace yourself and which tradition counts as protective. Vyaghata is among the yogas that muhurta texts set aside for new ventures; ordinary work goes on as usual. A Rikta tithi is traditionally kept for clearing and finishing rather than starting.

Today's sky

Rahu kaal is the 5th of the eight equal parts of daytime on a Wednesday, counted from local sunrise, so its clock time depends on where you are: in New Delhi today it runs 12:06–13:26 UTC+5:30. Many families avoid starting new work in it; your local times are on the panchang.
