Mesha (Aries) rasi palan today — Wednesday, 18 November 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A quiet day

Better for finishing than for starting.

Surya (Sun) is 8th and Sevvai (Mars) 5th from your sign: go gently with change and what is unsettled and children and learning today.

For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 7th from your sign: Recite the mantra of Mercury, or the Vishnu Sahasranamam, beginning on a Wednesday. It costs nothing.

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.
