Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, 29 December 2026

In short: The Moon is in Leo until 21:37 UTC+5:30, then Virgo (sidereal). The tithi is Krishna Shashthi, changing to Saptami at 13:25 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Purva Phalguni, whose deity is Bhaga, god of fortune and enjoyment; it is a fierce (ugra) nakshatra, traditionally kept for demanding or decisive work rather than delicate beginnings. In Leo the Moon travels with Mars and Jupiter. Vishti karana (Bhadra), which almanacs avoid for auspicious beginnings, runs from 13:25 UTC+5:30.

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 14:58–16:15 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 is in your 5th house (creative and family plans) until 21:37 UTC+5:30, then moves into your 6th — work, service, health habits, debts and rivals. The 5th is not among the Moon's favourable transit houses, so keep expectations around creative and family plans modest. Mars and Jupiter share that house with it: quick feelings and energy that wants a useful outlet and a steadier, more generous mood. The day's nakshatra, Purva Phalguni, is ruled by Venus, which is in your 7th — so partnerships quietly shares the stage. Its lord, the Sun, sits in your 9th, so the day takes its colour from study, faith and travel plans. Tuesday's lord, Mars, is in your 5th (creative and family plans). Good use of the day: read something that feeds the mind.

Taurus (Vrishabha)

The Moon is in your 4th house (home life) until 21:37 UTC+5:30, then moves into your 5th — children, creativity, intelligence and merit.

The 3rd is one of the Moon's favourable transit houses, a supportive backdrop for effort and communication. It keeps company there with Mars and Jupiter, which tends to bring quick feelings and energy that wants a useful outlet and a steadier, more generous mood.
