Saturday, 24 October 2026: a willing tithi under a restless yoga

The Moon crosses from Aquarius into Pisces today, and the waxing Ashwina fortnight steps up to Trayodashi, its thirteenth day. This is a near-full, forward-leaning day under Kamadeva, kind to beginnings and to worship.

One caution sits over it. The day's yoga is Vyaghata, an inauspicious combination that scatters effort and invites friction. Keep your best hours for your most important task, and skip the arguments you can postpone.

Trayodashi itself is auspicious and holds until 13:38, when Chaturdashi takes over. If you want to start something, start it in that first half; the tithi backs new ventures and religious ceremonies.

The Moon sits in Uttara Bhadrapada until 20:33, a Saturn-ruled star whose deity is Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the deep. It rewards patience and quiet follow-through over flash, a useful ballast against Vyaghata's restlessness.

Being Shanivar, the day carries Saturn twice, as weekday lord and again as the star's lord. Saturn asks for the unglamorous, finished task rather than the showy start.

Rahu Kaal and the other sunrise-based windows shift by city, so a Delhi figure would mislead you. Check your own in the panchang tool.

A day reads one way in general and quite another through your own chart. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it draws your chart free, no account needed, then opens two questions on it. For the full month, see October 2026, read day by day.
