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) 12th from your sign: go gently with fortune and guidance and rest and letting go today.
For the planet weighing most on this part of the day, 12th from your sign: Recite the mantra of the Sun, or the Aditya Hridayam, beginning on a Sunday. It costs nothing, and it comes first.

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.
