Thursday, 17 September 2026: an Anuradha Moon warms your bonds while Vishkumbha yoga tells you not to rush the start

Anuradha brings a friendly Scorpio Moon good for bonds, but Vishkumbha yoga asks you to hold off on fresh starts.

17 September 2026: the Moon enters Scorpio in Anuradha, kind to bonds and talks, but Vishkumbha yoga counsels caution on any fresh start. What it means for you.

Does any of this apply to you?

The page above is written for everyone. Your chart is not. Give us your birth date and place and we will show you which parts of it are true for you, and which are not. About 20 seconds, no account.

The Moon crossed out of Libra overnight and now sits in Scorpio, in Anuradha, the star of Mitra, the friend. That shift is the day's good news: Anuradha favours steady bonds, so weddings, reconciliations and honest talks all land well while it holds, until 19:54.

But today's yoga is Vishkumbha, counted inauspicious, and it colours the whole span. Read it not as doom but as a brake. It asks for caution at beginnings: hold off on signing, launching or first meetings, and let the thing that matters start after the morning has settled.

The tithi turned to Shashthi, sixth of the waxing fortnight and Kartikeya's day. It is neutral by nature, neither pushing nor pulling, and it runs only to 10:49 before Saptami takes over.

It is Guruvar, Jupiter's day, which rewards learning and generosity. Pair the two with the sky: use Anuradha's warmth for a conversation you have been avoiding, and let Vishkumbha's caution keep you from forcing the outcome.

Sunrise was at 06:09 and sunset comes at 18:21. Rahu Kaal and the other daily windows are cut from your own local sunrise, so they genuinely shift from city to city; check yours on the panchang tool rather than trusting a single printed figure.

Your own day turns on where this Scorpio Moon lands in your chart. Give AstroMedha your birth date and it draws your chart free, with no account, then opens Chart Chat with two free questions on the house this Moon is lighting up.

Common questions

What changed in the sky on 17 September 2026?
The Moon moved from Libra into Scorpio and from Vishakha into Anuradha nakshatra, the tithi advanced from Panchami to Shashthi, and the yoga shifted from Vaidhriti to Vishkumbha.
Is 17 September 2026 a good day for a wedding or celebration?
Anuradha is generally favourable for marriage and celebrations and holds until 19:54, so the star supports it. Balance that against Vishkumbha yoga, which advises caution at the very start of anything, so time the key moment for later in the day.
What does Vishkumbha yoga mean for the day?
Vishkumbha is counted inauspicious, especially for beginnings. It does not spoil the day; it simply asks you to avoid rushing new commitments, signings or first meetings early, and to let important things begin once the morning has settled.
When does the Anuradha nakshatra end on this day?
Anuradha runs until 19:54 in New Delhi, after which Jyeshtha begins. The Shashthi tithi ends earlier, at 10:49, giving way to Saptami.
What are the Rahu Kaal timings for 17 September 2026?
Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal and Yamagandam are all derived from your local sunrise, so they differ by city and cannot be given as one figure. Enter your city on the panchang tool at /free-tools/panchang to see your exact windows.
