Daily Horoscope

This horoscope is not built from stock sentences. The planets’ actual positions today are measured first, and the reading is written from those — so every statement can be checked against any panchang.

Choose your sign

Ye Moon sign — the sign the Moon was in at birth. The Western Sun sign is different from it. If you do not know it, free kundli can work it out.

Which planets this reading uses

A one-day reading uses the five fast planets — the Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars.

The Moon is central only here. It changes sign in about two and a quarter days, so within a single day it makes the greatest difference — and for exactly that reason it has no place in a longer reading.

Jupiter and Saturn are deliberately absent. Jupiter stays in a sign for about a year and Saturn for two and a half — putting them into a daily reading would mean repeating the same sentence all year.

Is this reading for the Sun sign or the Moon sign?

The Moon sign. In the Vedic system your rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at birth. The Sun sign printed in newspapers comes from the Western system and is usually different. If you do not know yours, work it out with the free kundli.

Why does the daily reading change every day?

Because the Moon moves every day. It covers about 13 degrees in a day and changes sign in roughly two and a quarter days — so one day’s reading ought to differ from the next. A horoscope that says the same thing every day is not being measured.

Why are Saturn and Jupiter not shown here?

Because they do not move within a day. Jupiter stays in a sign for about a year, Saturn for two and a half. Putting them into a daily reading would produce the same sentence every day. Their place is the yearly reading, and for Saturn the Sade Sati page.

What calculation is this based on?

On the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa and Parashari (whole sign) houses. Planetary positions are computed from astronomy, in this browser — so you can check every figure against any panchang.
