Dhanus (Sagittarius) rasi palan today — Tuesday, 15 December 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A mixed day

Some things move easily, some need a second push.

Chandra (Moon) 3rd from your sign helps effort and initiative; Surya (Sun) 12th asks care with rest and letting go.

The prayer of the day: Visit a Murugan or Hanuman temple on a Tuesday. In the south this is what families actually do, and it costs a bus fare.

How this is worked out

Each of the nine grahas is placed in a sign, and counted as a house from yours. Classical gochara says which of those placements help and which resist. The Moon carries the day because it changes sign every two and a quarter days; Saturn is background, because it has been saying the same thing for two years and cannot be why today differs from yesterday.
