Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, 22 December 2026

In short: The Moon is in Taurus all day (sidereal). The tithi is Shukla Trayodashi, changing to Chaturdashi at 14:24 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Rohini, whose deity is Prajapati (Brahma), the creator; it is a fixed (dhruva) nakshatra, traditionally chosen for lasting beginnings — foundations, agreements, planting. Saturn (3rd-house aspect) aspects its sign — adding weight and a need for patience.

Today's sky

Rahu kaal is the 7th of the eight equal parts of daytime on a Tuesday, counted from local sunrise, so its clock time depends on where you are: in New Delhi today it runs 14:54–16:11 UTC+5:30. Many families avoid starting new work in it; your local times are on the panchang.
