Monday 7 September 2026: Ekadashi steadies a Vyatipata day

Ekadashi arrives for Vishnu even as Vyatipata yoga turns the day cautious; use the fast to steady a scattered day.

7 September 2026: Krishna Ekadashi for Vishnu runs to 17:05 while Vyatipata yoga asks for caution, with the Moon moving into Punarvasu. What to do and skip.

Does any of this apply to you?

I do not know my birth time (we read from the Moon instead)

Three things turned over at today's sunrise. Krishna Dashami gave way to Ekadashi, the fasting day held for Vishnu, which runs until 17:05. Ardra handed the Moon on to Punarvasu. And yesterday's calm Siddhi yoga became Vyatipata.

That last change is the one to plan around. Vyatipata is counted among the inauspicious yogas, so hold back on launches, signings and anything you cannot undo. Keep today for maintenance, repair and quiet work, and let the big moves wait a day.

Ekadashi pulls the other way, and it is the stronger anchor. It is a day for lightness: many keep a partial or full fast, turn toward Vishnu, and treat the body gently. If Vyatipata leaves the day feeling scattered, that fasting discipline is the steadying counterweight. Set one against the other.

Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter and held by Aditi, carries the sense of return and second chances. It runs until 18:15, and it is a kind star for coming back to something you set down, a habit, a person, an unfinished draft, rather than starting cold.

The Moon sits in Gemini and the Sun in Leo. Somvar belongs to the Moon, so the mind runs quick and a little restless today; give it one clear thing to hold.

Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamagandam land at different clock times in every city, since they are measured from your local sunrise. Check yours on the panchang tool before you fix a muhurta.

The day reads differently depending on where your own Moon and lagna sit. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it builds your chart free, no account needed, then Chart Chat opens with two questions on the house.

Common questions

Is 7 September 2026 a good day for important work?

It is mixed. Ekadashi is auspicious and good for fasting and devotion, but Vyatipata yoga is inauspicious, so postpone launches, signings and anything hard to reverse. Keep the day for maintenance and quiet work.

Which Ekadashi is it and until when does it last?

It is the Krishna paksha Ekadashi, held for Vishnu. The tithi runs until 17:05, after which Dwadashi begins.

What nakshatra is the Moon in on 7 September 2026?

The Moon moves into Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter and presided over by Aditi, until 18:15. Before that the day carried Ardra.

What are the Rahu Kaal timings for this day?

Rahu Kaal, Gulika and Yamagandam are calculated from your local sunrise, so they differ by city. Use the panchang tool to get the exact windows for your location.

What is Vyatipata yoga and why does it matter?

Vyatipata is one of the yogas counted as inauspicious in the panchang. On a Vyatipata day it is wise to avoid new beginnings and irreversible decisions, and to focus on routine, repair and devotional acts instead.
