Simha (Leo) rasi palan today — Thursday, 18 March 2027

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 12th and Surya (Sun) 8th from your sign: go gently with rest and letting go and change and what is unsettled today.

For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 12th 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.
