Amavasya on Saturday, 10 October 2026: a day to finish, not to begin

Amavasya arrives today. The moon went fully dark overnight as Chaturdashi gave way to the new moon, and the day belongs to the Pitris, your ancestors. This is not a day to launch anything.

Amavasya asks you to close loops, not open them. Hold back the new venture, the big decision, the first move, and give the day instead to what is already running and to the people who came before you. A quiet offering or a moment of remembrance sits well here.

But the day is not heavy. The moon moved into Hasta, the nakshatra of the skilled hand, whose deity Savitar sets things gently in motion. Hasta is made for doing careful work with your hands: finishing, mending, crafting, tidying what was left half done.

Indra Yoga runs alongside it and favours clean, positive action. Put together with Hasta, the signal is one thing said twice: spend the capability of this day on completion, not on commencement.

The Amavasya tithi holds until 21:21 and Hasta until 21:43, so the whole working day carries this grain. Saturn rules Saturday and rewards patience over hurry, so the fit is natural. Steady hands, no rush.

For Rahu Kaal, Gulika and the other windows that shift with your city's own sunrise, see the free panchang.

What this day does for you personally depends on your own chart. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it computes your chart free, with no account, then opens Chart Chat with two free questions. Read the rest of the month in October 2026, day by day.
