Amavasya on Monday, 9 November 2026: a day for ancestors, not ambition

A quiet Amavasya softened by Saubhagya yoga: honour ancestors and hold off on new beginnings.

The new moon of Kartika falls on Monday, 9 November 2026, under the kindly Saubhagya yoga. A day to honour ancestors and hold off on launching or signing, not to begin anew.

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.

Monday opens on Amavasya, the new moon, the dark seam that closes Kartika's waning fortnight. Yesterday the moon was still a thin Chaturdashi sliver. This morning it has emptied completely.

Amavasya belongs to the Pitris, the ancestors. The tradition is plain about it: this is not a day to start. Hold the launch, the signing, the first payment, the irreversible yes. If you were going to make one big call today, make it tomorrow instead.

But the day is not heavy. Overnight the yoga turned from Ayushman to Saubhagya, which means good fortune, one of the gentler combinations. The grace is here; it just asks to be spent inward rather than outward.

The Amavasya itself lifts at 12:33. The morning carries the ancestral weight, so keep it quiet: a small remembrance, a clean house, a call to a parent. The afternoon loosens.

Somvar is the Moon's own day, and today the Moon is dark, so your own mood may run low and private. That is the day, not you. Rest it out.

For today's Rahu Kaal, Gulika and the choghadiya windows, which really do shift from Delhi to Chennai with the sunrise, check the daily panchang for your own city.

Common questions

Is 9 November 2026 a good day to start something new?
No. It is Amavasya, the new moon, which the tradition reserves for honouring ancestors rather than beginnings. Hold any launch, signing or irreversible decision for a later day.
What does Saubhagya yoga mean on this day?
Saubhagya means good fortune and is one of the gentler yogas. It replaced Ayushman overnight, so the day carries real grace, best spent on quiet, inward matters rather than outward ventures.
When does the Amavasya tithi end?
The Amavasya lifts at 12:33. The morning holds the ancestral weight and is best kept quiet; the afternoon loosens once the tithi has passed.
Why is Monday linked to the Moon when it is a new moon?
Somvar is the Moon's own weekday. On Amavasya the Moon is dark, so a low, private mood is natural for the day and not a sign of anything wrong.
Where can I find the Rahu Kaal timings for my city?
The sunrise-derived windows such as Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal and the choghadiya genuinely differ by city. Use the daily panchang tool and enter your location for accurate figures.
