Mithuna (Gemini) rasi palan today — Saturday, 5 December 2026

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A good day

More going for you than against.

Surya (Sun) is 6th and Sevvai (Mars) 3rd from your sign: health and competition and effort and initiative go well today.

The prayer of the day: Visit a Shani sannidhi on a Saturday — Thirunallar if you can get there, or the Navagraha shrine in any large temple, where Saturn stands in his own corner. Light a sesame-oil lamp if the temple sells them and leave it at that. A visit is a visit; nothing needs to be bought and no pooja needs to be booked.

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.
