Dhanus (Sagittarius) rasi palan today — Saturday, 19 December 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A day to take gently

Not a day against you — a day that rewards patience over push.

Chandra (Moon) is 4th and Surya (Sun) 1st from your sign: go gently with home and peace of mind and how you feel in yourself today.

For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 4th from your sign: Recite the Chandra mantra, beginning on a Monday. Free, and the first remedy for an afflicted Moon.

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.
