Saturday, 31 October 2026: Ardra clears early, Siddha yoga carries the day

Saturday opens under Ardra, the nakshatra of Rudra the storm, a star that rewards restraint over bravado. The relief is that it leaves early. Ardra gives way by 07:13, so its sharp edge belongs to the dawn, not the day.

What fills the rest is kinder. Siddha yoga holds through the day, and Siddha is named for things that get done; it favours starting what you mean to finish. Yesterday's Shiva yoga has handed over to it, so if a plan felt stuck, today is the day to move it.

The tithi has turned from Panchami to Shashthi and runs until 16:58. Shashthi belongs to Kartikeya and carries a soldier's temperament: good for discipline, effort and clearing a backlog, less so for soft indulgence.

It is Shanivar, Saturn's own day, in Kartika month, Krishna paksha. Saturn asks for patience and honest work, which sits well with Siddha's forward push. Do the slow, correct thing and it compounds.

So hold the one hour of Ardra at dawn for reflection rather than launches, and give the working afternoon to real work.

The city-specific windows, Rahu Kaal and the rest, shift with your local sunrise, so check them for your own town on the free panchang.

A day reads one way in general and another way for you. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it computes your chart free, with no account, and Chart Chat then opens with two questions already paid for.
