Karka (Cancer) rasi palan today — Saturday, 21 November 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A quiet day

Better for finishing than for starting.

Chandra (Moon) is 9th and Surya (Sun) 5th from your sign: go gently with fortune and guidance and children and learning today.

For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 5th from your sign: Recite the mantra of the Sun, or the Aditya Hridayam, beginning on a Sunday. It costs nothing, and it comes first.

Chandra (Moon) is 9th from your sign: fortune and guidance

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.
