Read from your Moon sign, which is what “your sign” means in Indian practice. If you know only your Western sun sign, generate a kundli once to find your rashi — they differ for most people.

Testing

A day for maintenance rather than new ground.

The Moon passes through the fifth house from your rashi today, so children, study, romance and creative work is where your attention keeps returning whether you plan it or not.

Sun in the third supports initiative, siblings and short journeys; Venus in the fourth supports home, mother and peace of mind.

Moon in the fifth asks for care with children, study, romance and creative work; Mercury in the third asks for care with initiative, siblings and short journeys; Mars in the twelfth asks for care with expenditure, travel abroad, sleep and letting go.

Avoid forcing anything to do with children, study, romance and creative work; it will cost more than it returns today.

How this is calculated

Each graha's sidereal longitude is taken from the ephemeris for 17 September 2026 at 06:00 UT, using the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Its house is counted from the rashi, which is the gochara method of Phaladeepika chapter 26 — not from the Western sun sign.
Favourable houses per graha follow the standard gochara table. The daily reading weights the Moon most heavily, since it changes sign every two and a quarter days; the monthly and yearly readings weight Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu, which is what actually distinguishes one month or year from the next.
Scores are centred so that the average across all twelve rashis is zero. Without that correction Saturn alone — favourable in only three houses of twelve — would make three quarters of all readings negative every day, which would be a fact about the arithmetic rather than about the sky.
Nothing here is randomised or rotated. The same date always produces the same reading, and a different date produces a different one because the positions differ.
