What the classical Gochara table says about today
4 of the 9 grahas the tradition rates count in your favour from Kanya today. The Moon is one of them, so Chandrabalam is with you. It is the part that moves fastest. That changes at Wed 15:15.
⚠️ 5 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 Kanya.
Ask for what you want
Mangal (Mars) sits in your 10th house, which the tradition ties to work, standing and what the world sees. A reasonable stretch to be visible, to put a case, and to start the thing you have been circling.
Mangal (Mars) · 10th house
A good stretch to look at it
Chandra (Moon) sits in your 11th house, which the tradition ties to gains, friends and the wider network. A steady stretch for reviewing what comes in and goes out, rather than for any particular decision.
⚠️ Not financial advice. Never an amount, a direction or a date.
Chandra (Moon) · 11th house
Say the harder thing kindly
Shani (Saturn) 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.
Shani (Saturn) · 7th house
The energy is there
Rahu in your 6th house relates to daily work, routine, illness and debt. A reasonable stretch to build a routine you can keep — sleep, movement, regular meals.
⚠️ Not medical advice. If something is wrong, see a doctor — this is never a reason to wait.

What to do today
Trust your read today
The Moon is read as the settled mind. Your instinct about friends and income is worth acting on. The Moon moves within about two days, so this is a short window.
☽Chandra (Moon) · 11th house
Good day to teach or advise
Jupiter is read as growth and good counsel, and it favours friends and income. A steady day to teach, to advise, or to start something you want to grow slowly.
♃Guru (Jupiter) · 11th house
Start it, do not plan it
Mars is read as drive. Effort on your job and reputation goes further today than usual. Begin the thing rather than spending the day preparing to.
♂Mangal (Mars) · 10th house
What to avoid today
Add time to the plan
Saturn is read as delay and weight. Anything to do with your partner takes longer today than you planned for. Build the extra time in rather than pushing against it.
♄Shani (Saturn) · 7th house
Let someone else be right
The Sun here is read as pushing against somebody else’s authority. Press on rest and spending today and you meet resistance. Give way; it costs nothing.
☉Surya (Sun) · 12th house
Today's mantra
The beeja mantra the tradition assigns to Budh (Mercury), the lord of Kanya.
ॐ ब्रां ब्रीं ब्रौं सः बुधाय नमः
oṁ brāṁ brīṁ brauṁ saḥ budhāya 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 Kanya, 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) | 12th | Simha 21° | Unfavourable |
| ☽Chandra (Moon) | 11th | Karka 12° | Favourable |
| ☿Budh (Mercury) | 1st | Kanya 1° | Unfavourable |
| ♀Shukra (Venus) | 2nd | Tula 4° | ObstructedShani (Saturn) in your 7th house holds this back |
| ♂Mangal (Mars) | 10th | Mithuna 23° | Favourable |
| ♃Guru (Jupiter) | 11th | Karka 20° | Favourable |
| ♄Shani (Saturn)℞ | 7th | Meena 19° | Unfavourable |
| ☊Rahu℞ | 6th | Kumbha 4° | Favourable |
| ☋Ketu℞ | 12th | 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.
