What the classical Gochara table says about today
3 of the 9 grahas the tradition rates count in your favour from Kanya 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.
4 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 Kanya.
Ask for what you want
Rahu sits in your 6th house, which the tradition ties to daily work, routine, illness and debt. A reasonable stretch to be visible, to put a case, and to start the thing you have been circling.
Rahu · 6th house
A good stretch to look at it
Guru (Jupiter) 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.
Guru (Jupiter) · 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
Protect the routine
Surya (Sun) in your 1st house relates to you, your body and how you come across. 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.
Surya (Sun) · 1st house
Let the house be quiet
Chandra (Moon) 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.
Chandra (Moon) · 4th house
What to do today
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 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 home and family, things will feel bigger today than they are. Nothing needs deciding now — the Moon moves on in a couple of days.
Chandra (Moon) · 4th house
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 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 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) | 1st | Kanya 3° | Unfavourable |
| Chandra (Moon) | 4th | Dhanu 21° | Unfavourable |
| Budh (Mercury) | 1st | Kanya 21° | Unfavourable |
| Shukra (Venus) | 2nd | Tula 11° | ObstructedShani (Saturn) in your 7th house holds this back |
| Mangal (Mars) | 11th | Karka 1° | Favourable |
| Guru (Jupiter) | 11th | Karka 23° | Favourable |
| Shani (Saturn)℞ | 7th | Meena 18° | 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.
