Daily Horoscope for Sunday, 20 December 2026

In short: The Moon is in Aries all day (sidereal). The tithi is Shukla Ekadashi, changing to Dwadashi at 20:15 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Ashwini, whose deity is the Ashvins, twin physicians of the gods; it is a light and swift (kshipra) nakshatra, traditionally suited to quick, practical tasks — learning, trade, short journeys. Jupiter (9th-house aspect) and Venus (7th-house aspect) aspect its sign — which tradition counts as protective and softening the mood. Vishti karana (Bhadra), which almanacs avoid for auspicious beginnings, runs from 09:18 to 20:15 UTC+5:30. Parigha is among the yogas that muhurta texts set aside for new ventures; ordinary work goes on as usual.

Today's sky

Rahu kaal is the 8th of the eight equal parts of daytime on a Sunday, counted from local sunrise, so its clock time depends on where you are: in New Delhi today it runs 16:10–17:28 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 1st house, the house of self, body and vitality. With the Moon back in your own sign, feelings sit close to the surface; tradition counts this a favourable Moon, best used for simple, honest plans. Ashwini, the nakshatra of the day, belongs to Ketu; from your sign Ketu is in the 4th, linking the day with home life. It moves on to your 2nd (money and family) at 18:36 UTC+5:30 tomorrow. Its lord, Mars, sits in your 5th, so the day takes its colour from creative and family plans. Sunday's lord, the Sun, is in your 9th (study, faith and travel plans). Saturn in your 12th keeps you in Sade Sati, so steady, simple routines help. Good use of the day: do one thing that is plainly yours to do.

Taurus (Vrishabha)

All day the Moon stays in your 12th house — expenditure, retreat, foreign lands and liberation. The 12th is not among the Moon's favourable transit houses, so keep expectations around spending and rest modest.
