Sunday, 4 October 2026: Punarvasu Brings Return, Parigha Says Hold

Punarvasu's star of return softens the day, but Parigha yoga and Krishna Navami say mend and finish rather than launch anything new.

On 4 October 2026 the Moon enters Punarvasu, the star of return, while Parigha yoga and Krishna Navami advise against new starts. A day to mend and finish, not to launch.

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.

Two things shifted overnight. The Moon left Ardra, Rudra's storm-star, and entered Punarvasu, ruled by Jupiter and watched by Aditi, the mother of return. Punarvasu is the star of coming back, of second tries and of things restored. If yesterday felt raw, today has a softer floor.

But the yoga turned from Variyan to Parigha, and Parigha is an obstacle-yoga. Paired with Krishna Navami, a difficult tithi whose lord is Durga, the counsel is plain: do not start new ventures. Finish, mend, return to something half-done. That is Punarvasu's own grain.

So Sunday's shape is restore, not launch. A quarrel you want to repair, a habit you dropped, a call you owe, an old draft: these belong to today. A fresh contract, a first meeting, a new purchase: let them wait.

Sunrise is 06:18 and sunset 18:01. Navami runs long, ending only at 03:55 tomorrow, so its caution holds through the day and into the night.

The tricky windows like Rahu Kaal are set by your own city's sunrise and really do differ from Delhi's. Check yours at the panchang tool before you fix a time.

None of this is yours yet. The day is one thing; your chart is another. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it computes your chart free, with no account, then Chart Chat opens with two free questions on the house.

Common questions

What tithi is it on 4 October 2026?
It is Navami in the Krishna paksha, the ninth waning lunar day, whose deity is Durga. It carries a difficult nature and runs until 03:55 on the morning of the 5th.
Which nakshatra is the Moon in today?
The Moon is in Punarvasu, pada 1, ruled by Jupiter and presided over by Aditi. It holds until 00:15 that night, having taken over from Ardra.
Is 4 October 2026 a good day to start something new?
No. Parigha yoga is inauspicious and Krishna Navami advises against new ventures. It is a day to finish, mend and return to unfinished work rather than launch anything fresh.
What are the Rahu Kaal timings for this day?
Rahu Kaal and the other sunrise-derived windows depend on your city's sunrise, so they genuinely differ from Delhi's. Look up your own city on the panchang tool before scheduling around them.
