Articles about Chandra (Moon)

• How a wedding muhurat is actually chosenA wedding date is narrowed in four layers, the season, the panchang, both charts, and what the two families can manage. The method, and the open windows.
• Vyaghata yoga: is it bad, and what if you were born in it?Vyaghata is the 13th of the 27 daily yogas in the panchang. Tradition avoids starting new work under it. What that means for a date, and for a birth.
• Which samvatsara is it now? Vikram Samvat 2083, ParabhavaThe Hindu year now is Vikram Samvat 2083, Shaka 1948, the Parabhava samvatsara, 40th of 60. It began on 19 March 2026 and ends at Gudi Padwa 2027.
• Twin flames and Vedic astrology, honestlyTwin flame is not a Vedic idea and no birth date reveals one. What a kundli can read is your own pattern in relationships, and the periods when they move.
• Swati nakshatra famous people: Nilekani, Sunidhi ChauhanSwati nakshatra celebrities checked against the Moon: S. N. Bose, Nandan Nilekani and Sunidhi Chauhan hold up. Are Gandhi and Julia Roberts Swati?
• Parigha yoga, the bolt across the gate, and the half of it that is usableParigha is the 19th of the 27 daily yogas. Tradition bars its first half and treats the second half as ordinary. What that means in practice.
• Numerology by date of birth: calculate mulank and bhagyankMulank is your day of birth reduced to one digit, bhagyank the whole date reduced. Worked examples for both, the personal year, and what numerology cannot do.
• Nikah dates in 2026, and what actually decides themIslamic law does not mark days as auspicious or inauspicious for a nikah. What people plan around is the Hijri calendar. Here it is, mapped onto 2026.
• Lucky and unlucky colours in Vedic astrologyColours in Vedic astrology belong to the grahas, not to people. No colour causes harm. Here is where the associations come from and how they are actually used.
• Jupiter transiting the 8th house, and the inheritance story that gets oversoldTradition reads Jupiter through the 8th house as demanding, not a windfall. It touches shared money, loans and inheritance, usually as paperwork.
• Does FLAMES really work? How the name game is countedDoes FLAMES really work? No: the same two names always land on the same letter. How the game is counted, and what a real Guna Milan compares instead.
• Famous people and their nakshatra, checked against the actual birth datesMost celebrity nakshatra lists are guesses, because the Moon changes nakshatra mid-day and few birth times are public. Here is what can honestly be said.
• A debilitated planet in your kundli is not a curseDebilitation means a planet sits in the sign where it works least easily. It is common, it is not damage, and it is often offset by the rest of the chart.
• Atiganda yoga in the panchang, and why it has nothing to do with yoga practiceAtiganda is the sixth of the panchang's twenty-seven yogas, a unit of time counted unfit for beginnings. It is not a practice you can do.
• When will I get married? What a kundli can honestly sayA kundli can narrow marriage to a window of a year or two, never a date. What is read, why it is a window, and what to do when one passes.
• Vish yoga in astrology, the Moon with Saturn, read plainlyVish yoga is the name popular astrology gives to the Moon joined with Saturn. Tradition reads a heavy mind and delayed comfort, not poison in a life.
• Vaidhriti yoga: meaning, effects, and being born in itVaidhriti is the last of the 27 daily panchang yogas. How it is worked out, why tradition avoids it for beginnings, and what a birth in it does not decide.
• Sade Sati, how to tell whether yours is running, and what it is notSade Sati is the seven and a half years Saturn spends crossing your moon sign and the rashi on either side of it. It is read from the moon, not the sun.
• Does Sade Sati stop a love marriage? What it really doesSade Sati does not break a love marriage. It usually brings delay, family resistance and a loss of lightness, and it is a period with an end date.
• Revati nakshatra famous people: Dev Anand, Jaya BachchanRevati nakshatra famous personalities in India, checked against the Moon: Dev Anand and Jaya Bachchan are certain, others depend on the hour of birth.
• Kundli matching and Guna Milan: what the 36 points settleGuna Milan scores two charts out of 36 by comparing the Moon. It is a first screen, not a verdict, and a low score usually has one technical cause.
• Gajakesari yoga: what it is, how to check it by birth dateGajakesari forms when Jupiter is 1st, 4th, 7th or 10th from the Moon. About one chart in three has it. What it means, and how to check it from a date.
• What happens to the birth details you send for a readingWhy a reading needs your date, exact time and place of birth, what is kept afterwards, what is never done with it, and how to ask for removal.
• Yogas in a kundli: what they are and how much they decideA yoga is a named combination of planets that tradition reads as one unit. Most charts carry several. Here is how they form and how much weight to give them.
• Kundli combinations said to change life after marriageTradition holds that certain planetary combinations come into effect around marriage. What the chart actually shows is timing, and the difference matters.
• What a yoga calculator actually checks in your kundliA yoga calculator matches your chart against a stored list of combinations and prints what fits. It cannot weigh them, and it never says when.
• Which dasha is running for you in 2026 and 2027There is no dasha that everyone shares in a given year. Yours depends on the Moon at your birth. Here is how the cycle works and how to find your own period.
• Where to start with your own kundliA kundli has four layers: lagna and houses, the nine grahas, rashi and nakshatra, and mahadasha timing, the planetary periods your life runs through. Read them in that order and it makes sense.
• Why a weekly horoscope says so little about youThis is not a weekly forecast. It is a plain explanation of what the twelve-way weekly format can honestly tell you, and what only your own chart can.
• Choosing a wedding nakshatra, and what it does not decideTradition favours about eleven nakshatras for a wedding muhurta and avoids a few others. Here is the working list, and what the day's star really settles.
• Vish yoga and marriage, without the fearVish yoga is the Moon and Saturn together. Tradition reads a heavy mind and a slow, delayed marriage, not a marriage that fails.
• Ugadi 2026, the new year in the panchang, and what the year actually holdsUgadi falls on Thursday 19 March 2026, the first day of the lunar year. What a year reading can honestly say comes from the slow planets, not your rashi.
• Shatabhisha nakshatra celebrities, and why most of those lists are guessworkShatabhisha is the 24th nakshatra and sits entirely inside Aquarius. Most celebrity lists for it are unverified, and here is how to check one yourself.
• Saturn mahadasha and famous people, and why those lists cannot be checkedShani's nineteen years can be the making of a person. But celebrity mahadasha lists cannot be checked, and here is the arithmetic that shows why.
• Sade Sati for Mesha rashi in 2026, and the mistake almost everyone makes about itSade Sati is counted from the moon sign, not the ascendant. For Mesha rashi it began on 29 March 2025, and 2026 falls entirely in its first phase.
• How to read your own kundli, step by stepRead a kundli in this order: the rising sign, then the twelve houses, then the planets sitting in them. The order matters more than memorising meanings.
• Rahu and Ketu in your kundli, and how their positions are worked outRahu and Ketu are the two points where the Moon crosses the Sun's path. They are always exactly opposite, move backwards, and take 18 months per rashi.
• Pushya nakshatra compatibility, and how much the match score really settlesPushya scores highest with Hasta and Uttara Phalguni and lowest with Dhanishta, and here is why that score is only a first screen and not a verdict.
• Vaidhriti, Vyaghata and Saubhagya: the yogas in the panchangThese three are yogas of the panchang, not combinations sitting in your kundli. Each is worked out from the Sun and the Moon together and lasts about a day.
• Ananda yoga and Vyaghata yoga, the two things a panchang calls a yogaTwo different counts in the panchang are both called yoga. Vyaghata is the thirteenth of twenty-seven. Ananda comes from weekday and nakshatra together.
• The panchang, and how to read the five things in itThe panchang is the day measured against the sky. Five entries, all of them the Sun and the Moon counted in different units, and none of them a verdict.
• Nakshatra and rashi, and what the difference actually isRashi cuts the zodiac into 12 signs of 30 degrees. Nakshatra cuts the same circle into 27 of 13 degrees 20 minutes. Same Moon, finer grain.
• Famous people born in Mula nakshatra, and why most lists are wrongMost names on Mula (Moola) celebrity lists cannot have been born in Mula at all. Here is the checked list, and an honest word about the mool dosha fear.
• Moon sign compatibility in marriage, and what it can honestly tell youNo moon sign pairing guarantees a happy marriage. The moon sign describes emotional temperament, which is one useful input in matching, not a verdict.
• Your moon sign, how it is found, and why India reads it firstThe moon sign is the rashi the Moon occupied when you were born. It is the sign almost all Indian prediction is worked from, and here is how to find it.
• The most romantic moon signs, and what a moon sign really says about loveNo tradition ranks the moon signs by romance. What the Moon shows is how a person gives and receives affection, and that is a more useful thing to know.
• Moon in the 8th house: the celebrity lists, and why they do not hold upLists of famous people with the Moon in the 8th house circulate everywhere and almost none of them can be checked. Here is why, and what the placement is.
• Moon in the 8th house: the Vedic reading and the Western oneVedic and Western astrology often place the same Moon in different houses and read it differently. Here is why, and what this placement does not decide.
• Famous people born under Meena rashi, and how to check a moon sign properlyMost lists of famous Meena rashi people use the western sun sign and are wrong. Meena rashi means the Moon in Meena, worked out from the birth data.
• The marriage chart, sometimes called the navamsa, and what it addsA second chart from the same birth details tests whether what your kundli promises about marriage holds. It needs an accurate birth time to mean anything.
• Mahabhagya yoga, what the texts actually say about itMahabhagya asks that the ascendant, Sun and Moon fall in odd signs for a man born by day, or even signs for a woman born at night. It predicts no wealth.
• Lucky numbers for a vehicle or a phone, and what they can honestly doYour number comes from your date of birth, not from a number plate. Here is the arithmetic, the planet each digit is tied to, and what a number cannot do.
• Favourable letters and numbers, and where the tradition comes fromThe letter tradition comes from your birth nakshatra and is used for naming a child. The number tradition is numerology. They are two different things.
• Lucky and unlucky dates, and what the panchang actually marksNo date is lucky or unlucky for everyone. The panchang marks windows that tradition favours or avoids for a specific act, judged against a specific chart.
• Your lagna, and the second chart that is read beside itThe lagna is the rashi rising in the east at the minute you were born. Here is how it is worked out, why the birth time matters, and what it decides.
• Kundli matching by name and date of birth, and what it can really checkName and date alone give a rough score at best. Proper Guna Milan needs birth time and place, because the whole method rests on the Moon's nakshatra.
• What a free kundli calculator can and cannot tell youA kundli calculator computes your chart from date, exact time and place of birth. It draws the chart correctly. Reading it is a separate job.
• Famous people born in Krittika nakshatra, checked against the MoonAnil Kumble, Homi Bhabha, Sushmita Sen and Uday Kotak have strong claims to a Krittika birth. Here is the checked list and how the checking works.
• Kanya Rashi Moon Sign: Strengths and Weak PointsKanya rashi is the Moon in Virgo, ruled by Mercury. Its strength is precision and usefulness. Its weak point is that the same precision turns inward as worry.
• Daily horoscope: read from moon signA Vedic daily rashifal is read from your moon sign, not your Western sun sign. That single correction changes which one you should be reading.
• How to consult an astrologer, and what to have readyBring your date, exact time and place of birth, and one clear question. What a reading can honestly cover, what it cannot, and how to reach us.
• Hasta nakshatra, the famous names, and what auspicious actually meansHasta is called auspicious, but that word describes days chosen for work, not people born under it. Here are the names that survive an actual check.
• A guide to abhisheksoni.in: the free kundli, the panchang and the readingsWhat this site does, where each thing lives, what is free and what is paid, and where the older articles went when the site was rebuilt.
• When the gudi goes up on Gudi Padwa, and why that time is what it isThe gudi goes up in the morning of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada and comes down before sunset. The window follows your city's sunrise, not one national clock.
• Gudi Padwa in Maharashtra: meaning and where to see itGudi Padwa is Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, the Marathi new year and one of the three and a half auspicious days. What it means and where it is kept.
• Gudi Padwa at home, the way it is actually doneThe gudi goes up on the morning of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada, to the right of the door, and comes down before sunset. Everything else is decoration.
• Does your name affect your destiny? An honest answerYour kundli comes from birth date, time and place, not from your name. What tradition does with a name is narrower than the numerology sold online.
• Vivah muhurat: Guru asta, Shukra astaA vivah muhurat is decided by the panchang and the two charts, not by Mercury retrograde. The real exclusions are Guru asta, Shukra asta and Chaturmas.
• Can a kundli predict health problems? An honest answerA kundli can point to where a person carries strain and which periods need care. It cannot diagnose illness and is no substitute for a doctor.
• Atiganda yoga and marriage compatibilityAtiganda is the sixth of the 27 daily panchang yogas. It matters when fixing a wedding date. It plays no part at all in Guna Milan.
• Astrology and the people you keep around youThere is no group chart in this tradition. What a kundli says about your circle sits in the eleventh house, in the Moon, and in your own temperament.
• Weak planets in a kundli, and why some of them still deliverA weak planet has less of its own strength to give, not a verdict on your life. What makes one weak, what lifts it, what it really costs.
• Vishti karana or Bhadra: what a birth under it meansVishti is one of the eleven karanas in the panchang and covers roughly half a tithi. Tradition avoids starting things under it. A birth under it is a different question.
• Vidaal yoga and Aadal, the almanac pair that is not among the twenty sevenVidaal yoga is not one of the 27 daily yogas. It comes from counting nakshatras from the Sun to the Moon, and it is an almanac rule, not a classical one.
• Sanyasa yoga in a kundli, and why a calculator will over-report itFour or more planets in one house is the best known sanyasa combination. What the classics say, and why having it does not mean leaving the world.
• What a kundli shows about compatibility, and why love goes wrongA chart shows how you attach and which periods strain a partnership. It does not show whether the person across from you is kind.
• Rahu sitting with a debilitated planet in your kundliWhen Rahu shares a sign with a debilitated planet, tradition holds it exaggerates that planet's uneasy side. It is rarely as bad as it reads.
• What a mahadasha is, and what it does not decideA mahadasha is the long planetary period running in your kundli. It sets the theme of those years. It does not fix the outcome, and no transit overrules it.
• Does a mahadasha damage a relationshipA mahadasha does not break a relationship on its own. It changes what each person needs and how much strain the bond is being asked to carry.
• Can numerology reveal your future partner? An honest answerNumerology cannot name the person you will marry, and no year delivers one. What number practice offers, and what a kundli can say about marriage.
• Numerology in 2027: the year number, and what it cannot do2027 adds to 11, which reduces to 2, so it is a two year. How to work out your own personal year, and an honest note on numbers and money.
• Moon in the 8th house, read honestlyThe Moon in the 8th house indicates an emotional life lived in private, strong intuition, and a hard time letting go. It is not a curse.
• The Gudi Padwa shobha yatras in Mumbai and PuneGudi Padwa 2026 fell on 19 March. Here is the panchang reason for that date, what the gudi stands for, and how the Mumbai and Pune processions actually work.
• Gudi Padwa 2026, the day, the panchang behind it, and what it is good forGudi Padwa falls on 19 March 2026, the first day of Chaitra and the Marathi new year. What the day marks, and why it needs no separate muhurta.
• A weak planet in the 10th house, and what it does to a careerA debilitated planet in the 10th house indicates a career that starts slowly and changes often. Tradition also describes conditions that cancel that weakness.
• Darakaraka in 11th house: a spouse met through your circleDarakaraka, the planet at the lowest degree, in the 11th house: tradition reads a spouse met through friends or your circle, and gains that build slowly.
• Cancer horoscope tomorrow: read from the panchangWhat actually changes for Cancer rashi between today and tomorrow is the Moon's position. Here is how to read it from the panchang instead of guessing.
