Follow tonight's illumination, Vedic lunar day, and the rhythm of the next phase from any place on Earth.
Illuminated
Visible lunar surface
Light is building across the lunar surface, a phase associated with momentum, growth and deliberate action.
Chandra in Jyotish
मनस् · MANAS
In Vedic astrology, Chandra reflects the emotional mind, memory, intuition, nourishment and our felt sense of safety. Its daily movement shows how quickly the inner atmosphere can change.
Waxing · Shukla
Energy gathers outward: build, begin and participate.
Waning · Krishna
Energy turns inward: digest, release and restore.
Exact phase moments from the lunar ephemeris, converted to Asia/Kolkata time.
A quiet reset for intentions and inward reflection.
A turning point that favors action and commitment.
Peak illumination, clarity, release and completion.
A time to review, forgive and clear what has passed.
Hindi lunar months with exact phase times in Asia/Kolkata; events outside 2026 are left blank.

Sidereal zodiac sign
The Moon colors the emotional atmosphere through Calculating…, shaping instinct, attention and the way feelings seek expression.
Same-sign conjunctions
No other listed graha shares the Moon's sidereal sign at this observation time.
Graha drishti on Moon
None of the five classical planets casts its specified whole-sign aspect on the Moon.
The Moon does not change its shape. What changes is the portion lit by the Sun and visible from Earth. In Vedic astrology, this growing and receding light adds an important layer to tithi, paksha and the strength of Chandra.
A lunar month is divided into two pakshas of fifteen tithis each. A tithi is based on the angular distance between the Sun and Moon, so it does not always match a civil calendar day.
Each tithi covers twelve degrees of separation between the Sun and Moon. Because both bodies keep moving, a tithi can begin or end at any clock time. This is why Panchanga timing matters for vrata, puja and muhurta.
Tithis 1 to 5
Initiation, adjustment, nourishment and the first visible response to a new direction.
Tithis 6 to 10
Development, effort, testing and the middle work that turns intention into form.
Tithis 11 to 15
Refinement, spiritual focus, culmination and release through Purnima or Amavasya.
Waxing fortnight
Shukla Paksha begins after Amavasya and moves toward Purnima. The visible light increases each night. Jyotish often associates this half with building, participation, visibility and outward growth.
Waning fortnight
Krishna Paksha begins after Purnima and moves toward Amavasya. The visible light gradually decreases. This half supports integration, simplification, repair, closure and a quieter relationship with the mind.
The Moon is not only emotion. It describes how experience enters the mind, becomes memory and shapes your instinctive response. A strong Moon does not mean constant happiness. It usually shows a greater ability to receive, process and recover.
Sign dignity: Moon is exalted in Taurus, owns Cancer and is traditionally debilitated in Scorpio. Degree, nakshatra and the rest of the chart can substantially modify this.
Paksha bala: a bright waxing Moon generally has more luminous strength. A dark Moon is not automatically negative, but its expression can be more private and inward.
House placement: the bhava shows where emotional attention, care, change and public connection are most active. See what the Moon does in each house.
Conjunctions and aspects: planets sharing the Moon's sign blend directly with it. Graha drishti shows influence arriving from another sign.
Vargas and strength measures: Navamsha, Shadbala, dispositor strength, yogas and the active dasha help confirm what the natal Moon can deliver.
Your Janma Nakshatra is the lunar mansion occupied by the Moon at birth. Its ruler determines the opening sequence of Vimshottari Dasha, while the Moon's exact position decides how much of that first period remains.
Janma Rashi is the Moon sign at birth. It is widely used for gochara, compatibility, festival observance and major timing systems such as Sade Sati. Nakshatra gives finer psychological texture, while rashi gives the broader emotional field.
Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana work together. A phase alone is never the full muhurta. Location, sunrise and the exact beginning and ending times of each anga also matter.

Keep sleep and meals reasonably regular. Spend quiet time near clean water, reduce late-night stimulation and write feelings down before reacting to them.
Monday devotion
A simple Monday practice may include Shiva worship, offering water, or chanting “Om Som Somaya Namah” with a calm and sincere mind.
Care and charity
Support caregivers, elders, children or people who need food. Pearl is a traditional lunar gemstone, but it should only be worn after a complete chart assessment. Our Moon remedies guide has more practices like these.
