Vrishabha (Taurus) rasi palan today — Friday, 2026 ഒക്‌ടോബർ 16

Times for Chennai, Tamil Nadu · Change town

As at 9 am

A quiet day

Chandrashtama — until മറ്റന്നാൾ,

Better for finishing than for starting.

The Moon is in the eighth from your sign today — what is traditionally called Chandrashtama. It comes round about once a month and passes in a day or two. It is read as a low-energy day rather than an unlucky one: better for rest and routine work than for beginning something new.

Chandra (Moon) is 8th and Surya (Sun) 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, 8th 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.
