What the classical Gochara table says about today
Demanding1/9
1 of the 9 grahas the tradition rates count in your favour from Simha today. The Moon is one of them, so Chandrabalam is with you. It is the part that moves fastest. That changes at Mon 12:39.
3 would have counted. Another graha stands in the house the tradition says holds each of them back.
This rates the transit, not you. It is a count of where the grahas stand, and it says nothing about how your day will go.

Overall status
Where a graha is actually standing in the houses that signify each area, counted from Simha.
Keep the outgoings tight
Chandra (Moon) in your 11th house touches gains, friends and the wider network. Worth pausing on the unnecessary spend and checking what is on autopay — not because anything is coming, but because attention is cheap.
Not financial advice. Never an amount, a direction or a date.
Chandra (Moon) · 11th house
Say the harder thing kindly
Rahu in your 7th house touches partners, marriage and anyone you deal with one to one. The tradition reads this as friction rather than distance: worth being plain rather than smoothing over, and worth letting the other person finish.
Rahu · 7th house
Protect the routine
Shani (Saturn) in your 8th house relates to what you share with others, inheritance, and what is out of your hands. Read it as a nudge about pace rather than about your body: rest properly, do not skip meals, and do not push through exhaustion.
Not medical advice. If something is wrong, see a doctor — this is never a reason to wait.

What to do today
Start it, do not plan it
Mars is read as drive. Effort on friends and income goes further today than usual. Begin the thing rather than spending the day preparing to.
Mangal (Mars) · 11th house
What to avoid today
Wait two days
The Moon here is read as feelings running hot. Around friends and income, things will feel bigger today than they are. Nothing needs deciding now — the Moon moves on in a couple of days.
Chandra (Moon) · 11th house
Add time to the plan
Saturn is read as delay and weight. Anything to do with shared money takes longer today than you planned for. Build the extra time in rather than pushing against it.
Shani (Saturn) · 8th house
Keep the plan small
Jupiter is read as making things bigger — including costs. Keep plans around rest and spending to a size you can carry without help.
Guru (Jupiter) · 12th house
Let someone else be right
The Sun here is read as pushing against somebody else’s authority. Press on you and your health today and you meet resistance. Give way; it costs nothing.
Surya (Sun) · 1st house
Today's mantra
The beeja mantra the tradition assigns to Surya (Sun), the lord of Simha.
ॐ ह्रां ह्रीं ह्रौं सः सूर्याय नमः
oṁ hrāṁ hrīṁ hrauṁ saḥ sūryāya namaḥ
Printed because the texts assign it, not prescribed as a fix. This site does not sell remedies, and it does not claim a mantra changes what the sky is doing.

Every graha, its house from Simha, and what the classical Gochara table makes of it. This is the computation the cards above are built from.
| Graha | House from you | Transiting | Gochara |
|---|---|---|---|
| ☉Surya (Sun) | 1st | Simha 18° | Unfavourable |
| ☽Chandra (Moon) | 11th | Mithuna 2° | ObstructedShani (Saturn) in your 8th house holds this back |
| ☿Budh (Mercury) | 1st | Simha 26° | Unfavourable |
| ♀Shukra (Venus) | 3rd | Tula 2° | ObstructedSurya (Sun) in your 1st house holds this back |
| ♂Mangal (Mars) | 11th | Mithuna 21° | Favourable |
| ♃Guru (Jupiter) | 12th | Karka 20° | Unfavourable |

The favourable houses differ for each graha, and the imbalance is the point. Venus counts favourable in nine houses of twelve. Saturn in only three. So “not counted” is the ordinary case, not a warning. On a typical day, two or three of the nine are favourable for any sign.
Why some favourable placements do not count
The classical table has a second half. A graha in a house the table likes gives nothing while another graha sits in the paired house — vedha, meaning obstruction. Saturn in your 3rd is favourable, but not while something stands in your 12th. This reading applies that pairing to all nine grahas.
There is a further rule, vipreet vedha, where an obstruction cancels a difficult placement instead. The texts state it as a principle rather than a table. The sources do not agree on one table, so we do not count it here.
This is the sky, not your chart
Everything above is true for everyone with this sign. What makes it yours is where these bodies fell when you were born — that needs your date, time and place.
