Daily Horoscope for Thursday, 31 December 2026

In short: The Moon is in Virgo all day (sidereal). The tithi is Krishna Ashtami, changing to Navami at 12:33 UTC+5:30. Around midday the Moon is in Hasta, whose deity is Savitr, the inspiring Sun; it is a light and swift (kshipra) nakshatra, traditionally suited to quick, practical tasks — learning, trade, short journeys. Saturn (7th-house aspect) aspects its sign — adding weight and a need for patience. Atiganda 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 6th of the eight equal parts of daytime on a Thursday, counted from local sunrise, so its clock time depends on where you are: in New Delhi today it runs 13:41–14:59 UTC+5:30. Many families avoid starting new work in it; your local times are on the panchang.
