Monday, 21 September 2026: a clean day to begin, under Shobhana Yoga

Three things turned over into Monday. Navami became Shukla Dashami, Purva Ashadha handed the sky to Uttara Ashadha, and Saubhagya yoga gave way to Shobhana. The day arrives lighter than the one before it.

Shukla Dashami answers to Dharma and counts as auspicious. It holds until 20:02 tonight, so the whole working day sits inside it. If you have a ceremony, a first payment, or an opening you have been holding, this is a clean tithi to place it on.

Shobhana yoga tilts the same way. The name means the beautiful or the auspicious, and it favours positive, forward actions rather than closing things down. Paired with Dashami, the day asks you to begin, not to wind up.

Uttara Ashadha runs almost end to end, carrying through to 07:08 tomorrow morning. Its lord is the Sun and its keepers are the Vishvadevas, the collective gods; it rewards work you intend to last rather than quick wins. Start the thing you want to still be standing in a year.

Monday itself belongs to the Moon, and the Moon rides in Sagittarius today while the Sun sits in Virgo. Keep Sagittarius's reach honest with Virgo's checklist.

One caution. The day's inauspicious windows, Rahu Kaal and the rest, are set by your local sunrise and genuinely differ from city to city, so do not borrow Delhi's. Read yours on the panchang tool before you fix a start time.
