Daily Horoscope for Sunday, 27 December 2026

In short: The Moon is in Cancer until 18:05 UTC+5:30, then Leo (sidereal). The tithi is Krishna Chaturthi, changing to Panchami at 17:13 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 Ketu. Vishkambha 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 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 16:14–17:32 UTC+5:30. Many families avoid starting new work in it; your local times are on the panchang.

By Moon sign (Vedic)

The Moon is in your 4th house (home life) until 18:05 UTC+5:30, then moves into your 5th — children, creativity, intelligence and merit.
