What the classical Gochara table says about today
1 of the 9 grahas the tradition rates count in your favour from Vrishabha today. The Moon is not one of them, so Chandrabalam is absent today. It is the part that moves fastest. That changes at Mon 11:15.
2 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.

What changes in this window
- Budh (Mercury) enters LibraSat 13:08
- Shukra (Venus) turns retrograde in LibraSat 12:45
- Surya (Sun) enters LibraSat 19:53
These are the moves themselves, dated. What each one means for you is read from where it falls counted from your rashi, which is the count above. The Moon is left out of a month — it changes sign every two and a quarter days, which is thirteen entries. The week tab lists them.

Overall status
Where a graha is actually standing in the houses that signify each area, counted from Vrishabha.
Do the unglamorous part
Rahu in your 10th house touches work, standing and what the world sees. Read it as pace rather than obstacle — the steady, dull work moves further today than the ambitious one.
Rahu · 10th house
Keep the outgoings tight
Shani (Saturn) 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.
Shani (Saturn) · 11th house
Say the harder thing kindly
Surya (Sun) in your 5th house touches children, study and what you create. The tradition reads this as friction rather than distance: worth being plain rather than smoothing over, and worth letting the other person finish.
Surya (Sun) · 5th house
Protect the routine
Chandra (Moon) 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.
Chandra (Moon) · 8th house
Let the house be quiet
Ketu in your 4th house touches home, mother and peace of mind. The tradition reads this as unsettled rather than unhappy. Not a day to reopen an old argument at the table.
Ketu · 4th house
What to do today
Start it, do not plan it
Mars is read as drive. Effort on siblings and short trips goes further today than usual. Begin the thing rather than spending the day preparing to.
Mangal (Mars) · 3rd house
What to avoid today
Wait two days
The Moon here is read as feelings running hot. Around shared money, things will feel bigger today than they are. Nothing needs deciding now — the Moon moves on in a couple of days.
Chandra (Moon) · 8th house
Add time to the plan
Saturn is read as delay and weight. Anything to do with friends and income takes longer today than you planned for. Build the extra time in rather than pushing against it.
Shani (Saturn) · 11th house
Keep the plan small
Jupiter is read as making things bigger — including costs. Keep plans around siblings and short trips to a size you can carry without help.
Guru (Jupiter) · 3rd house
Let someone else be right
The Sun here is read as pushing against somebody else’s authority. Press on children and study today and you meet resistance. Give way; it costs nothing.
Surya (Sun) · 5th house
Today's mantra
The beeja mantra the tradition assigns to Shukra (Venus), the lord of Vrishabha.
ॐ द्रां द्रीं द्रौं सः शुक्राय नमः
oṁ drāṁ drīṁ drauṁ saḥ śukrāya 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 Vrishabha, 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) | 5th | Kanya 3° | Unfavourable |
| Chandra (Moon) | 8th | Dhanu 21° | Unfavourable |
| Budh (Mercury) | 5th | Kanya 21° | Unfavourable |
| Shukra (Venus) | 6th | Tula 11° | Unfavourable |
| Mangal (Mars) | 3rd | Karka 1° | Favourable |
| Guru (Jupiter) | 3rd | Karka 23° | Unfavourable |
| Shani (Saturn)℞ | 11th | Meena 18° | ObstructedBudh (Mercury) in your 5th house holds this back |
| Rahu℞ | 10th | Kumbha 4° | Unfavourable |
| Ketu℞ | 4th | Simha 4° | Unfavourable |
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.
