Monday, 16 November 2026: a listening day under Shravana

Monday opens on Shukla Saptami with Shravana nakshatra, the star of listening, ruled by the Moon and watched over by Vishnu. On a Monday, the Moon's own day, that pairing is a gift, good for beginnings, travel, and anything you want to start cleanly.

Two things shifted since Sunday. The tithi moved from Shashthi to Saptami, and the Moon stepped out of Uttara Ashadha into Shravana near dawn. Saptami's deity is Surya, so the day leans toward clarity and forward motion rather than rest.

There is one catch. Today's yoga is Ganda, which tradition counts as difficult. It does not cancel the good of Shravana, but it asks you not to force outcomes. Begin things, leave yourself margin, and skip any fight you could postpone.

Shravana rewards listening over speaking. If a conversation matters today, go in to understand before you argue. The usual green lights, new ventures, journeys, ceremonies and celebrations, all sit well, as long as you keep Ganda's caution in mind.

The rough patches, Rahu Kaal, Yamagandam and Gulika, fall at different clock times by city, because they are measured from your local sunrise. For the exact windows where you are, check the panchang tool.

All of this is the sky for everyone. What the day does for you depends on where these planets sit against your own chart. Tell AstroMedha your birth date and it builds your chart free, no account, then opens two free questions about today.
