Mesha (Aries) rasi palan today — Tuesday, 20 October 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A quiet day

Better for finishing than for starting.

Surya (Sun) is 7th and Sevvai (Mars) 4th from your sign: go gently with marriage and partnerships and home and peace of mind today.

For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 4th from your sign: Recite the Mangala mantra, or the Hanuman Chalisa, beginning on a Tuesday. For Sevvai, recitation comes before anything else, and it asks nothing of you but attention.

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.
