Panchang Today, March 09, 2026: Krishan Paksh 6 (Shashthi), Vishakha, Shubh Muhurat, Rahu Kaal and more

Panchang Today brings the day into focus, like sunlight falling through a window at the right angle. Aaj Ka Panchang is not only about dates and timings, it’s a practical daily guide rooted in the spiritual wisdom of the Hindu calendar. The Moon’s mood, the Nakshatra’s temperament, and the day’s yogas together show where effort will flow, and where it may snag. When you plan with this awareness, you stay connected to cultural roots and you also make mindful decisions in work, family, and personal routines. Monday arrives with the Moon in a waning phase, and that alone changes the flavour of the day. The running Tithi is Krishan Paksh 6 (Shashthi), ending at 23:27:11, after which Krishan Paksh 7 (Saptami) begins. Shashthi in Krishna Paksha tends to pull attention inward. It’s good for discipline, steady effort, and cleaning up loose ends, both in the house and in the head. Think of it like pruning a plant. You remove what’s unnecessary so the rest can grow stronger. If you’ve been postponing a tough conversation, a bill, a piece of paperwork, or a study backlog, Shashthi supports closing the loop without making a big show of it. The Nakshatra is Vishakha, ending at 16:11:34, and then the sky shifts into Anuradha. Vishakha is driven, goal oriented, and somewhat ambitious in a clean way. Its presiding deity is often linked with Indra and Agni, energies that push you to aim higher while also burning away confusion. Under Vishakha, you’ll want progress. You’ll want results. That’s fine, but keep your expectations realistic, especially with people. After 16:11:34, Anuradha brings a softer, more relational tone. It supports bonding, teamwork, and patient commitment. So the first half of the day can be about targets and decisions, while the later part can be about cooperation, listening, and repairing trust. The Moon sign starts in Libra 28.22, which naturally seeks balance, fairness, and good aesthetics. You may care more about tone, manners, and harmony in meetings. Then comes a big emotional gear change. The Moon transitions at 09/03/2026 09:29:55 into Scorpio. Libra wants peace, Scorpio wants truth. You might feel calm early on, then suddenly more intense, more private, more determined. Watch this shift in your own reactions. If a comment from someone stings around late morning, pause before responding. Scorpio Moon days can be excellent for deep work, research, and personal boundaries, but not great for casual gossip or emotional over sharing. Yoga also sets the day’s undercurrent. Vyaghata Yoga runs until 07:35:56 and then Harsana takes over. Vyaghata can feel like a knot in the rope, a bit of friction at the start, delays, misunderstandings, or simply that sense that things are not aligning. Don’t fight it early morning. Harsana later supports cheer, smoother coordination, and a lighter mental state.Karan matters too, because it describes how actions unfold. Gara Karan lasts until 10:17:11, supporting routine tasks, steady productivity, and practical follow through. Vanij Karan continues until 23:27:11, favourable for trade, negotiations, sales conversations, and business like exchanges. If you need to pitch an idea or bargain for a better deal, Vanij helps, provided you stay honest and clear. Actionable advice: Start the day with simple, steady tasks, then schedule your serious decision making after the Moon settles, and keep your emotions on a short leash around the late morning Moon sign shift.Some days offer you clean windows where the mind becomes still and the work becomes smoother. Today has several such openings, and if you use them well, you’ll feel the difference by evening. Brahma Muhurta runs from 2026-03-09 04:36:24 to 2026-03-09 05:25:00. This is the quiet hour before the world wakes up. The air feels lighter, and the mind doesn’t argue as much. Prayer, japa, meditation, or even silent reading fits beautifully here. If you’re struggling with focus lately, try waking for this slot and sitting with one intention, not ten.Pratah Sandhya is from 2026-03-09 05:00:42 to 2026-03-09 06:13:36. It’s ideal for morning rituals, offering water to the Sun, and setting a clean tone for family routines. If you need to speak to elders or settle a household plan, do it gently in this period. Amrit Kalam appears from 2026-03-09 06:25:16 to 2026-03-09 08:11:52. This is a sweet, supportive time for important beginnings, sending proposals, starting study sessions, and travelling for a purpose. It’s also good for health related steps, like starting a diet plan or booking a check up. Abhijit Muhurta is from 2026-03-09 11:44:56 to 2026-03-09 12:32:16. This midday protection is useful for bold but clean actions. If there’s a meeting where you want clarity, or a discussion that needs a fair outcome, aim for this. Vijay Muhurta runs from 2026-03-09 14:06:56 to 2026-03-09 14:54:16. As the name hints, it supports victory. Interviews, presentations, and any task where you want to be noticed can sit here. Your boss will notice your preparation if you bring it. As evening falls, Godhuli Muhurta is from 2026-03-09 18:03:50 to 2026-03-09 18:28:08, and Sayahana Sandhya stretches from 2026-03-09 18:03:50 to 2026-03-09 19:16:44. This dusk energy is perfect for lighting a diya, family prayer, and calming the home after the day’s rush. A special note today: Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga and Ravi Yoga both run from 2026-03-09 16:12:34 to 2026-03-10 06:12:36. These combinations are traditionally seen as supportive for many kinds of success, provided your intention is clean and your effort is sincere. Choghadiya also guides the day. Auspicious daytime periods include Amrit @ 06:14, Shubh @ 09:12, Laabh @ 15:06, and Amrit @ 16:35. At night, Laabh @ 22:37, Shubh @ 25:40, and Amrit @ 27:11 can be used for quiet study, planning, or spiritual practice. Actionable advice: Pick one important task and place it inside Abhijit Muhurta or Vijay Muhurta, then use the dusk sandhya time to wind down with a simple prayer and a calmer dinner conversationEvery day has a few muddy patches on the road. You can still travel, but you don’t speed there. The main caution period is Rahu Kaal from 07:43 to 09:12. Rahu’s influence can bring confusion, wrong judgement, and impulsive choices. Avoid starting new ventures, signing contracts, making big financial decisions, or sending that risky message during this window. If you must work, stick to routine tasks, cleaning, reviewing, and quiet preparation. Rahu Kaal is also an excellent time for inner work. Try a short grounding practice. Chant the Rahu mantra, “Om Raam Rahave Namaha”, with steady breath. Even 9 or 27 repetitions can settle the mind. If you feel anxious for no clear reason in the morning, don’t fight the feeling. Observe it, name it, and let it pass. The inauspicious timings list gives finer detail. Rahu Kaal is shown again as 2026-03-09 07:42:22 to 2026-03-09 09:11:09. Treat this as the same caution band, and don’t try to outsmart it by doing “just one small start” inside it. Yamaganda runs from 2026-03-09 10:39:56 to 2026-03-09 12:08:43. This period can bring avoidable friction. Keep your tone polite in calls and meetings. If you’re commuting, don’t rush or take shortcuts. Gulkai Kaal is from 2026-03-09 13:37:29 to 2026-03-09 15:06:16. Gulika can create delays and minor setbacks. It’s not the time to purchase expensive items or take risky approvals. Double check payments and delivery addresses. Dur Muhurtam comes in two slots today, 2026-03-09 12:32:16 to 2026-03-09 13:19:16 and again 2026-03-09 14:54:16 to 2026-03-09 15:41:16. These are better used for low stakes work. Avoid confrontations. Avoid dramatic announcements. If a colleague tries to pull you into office politics, step back. Varjyam is from 2026-03-09 20:41:34 to 2026-03-09 22:27:23. Varjyam is like a brief power cut in the flow of luck. Don’t initiate important discussions in relationships then. Also, avoid late evening online shopping. Keep your wallet closed today, especially if you’re buying to soothe a mood. Two more caution markers appear. Baana (Chora) runs from 2026-03-09 06:13:36 to 2026-03-10 00:50:36, suggesting you should be careful with carelessness, misplacing things, and hurried decisions. Vidaal Yoga is from 2026-03-09 06:13:36 to 2026-03-09 16:11:34, which can create sharpness in interactions. After 16:12:34, Aadal Yoga runs until 2026-03-10 06:12:36, so keep your patience intact even when you feel you’re right. Choghadiya inauspicious periods also deserve respect: Kaal @ 07:43, Rog @ 10:40, Udveg @ 12:09 in the day, and Rog @ 19:35, Kaal @ 21:06, Udveg @ 24:08 at night. Actionable advice: Block 07:43 to 09:12 for routine work only, postpone purchases and agreements to safer windows, and use Varjyam time for rest, not relationship debates. Rahu Kaal Timings Across India Rahu Kaal varies by geographic location across India because it is calculated from local sunrise, and sunrise differs from place to place due to longitude differences. That’s why one region’s Rahu Kaal won’t perfectly match another’s, even on the same date. The table below shows Rahu Kaal for major Indian cities. Actionable advice: If you’re travelling or working with teams in different parts of India, check the local Rahu Kaal before fixing a start time for a launch, payment, or first meeting.Mumbai 08:22 - 09:51Delhi (NCR) 08:07 - 09:35Bengaluru 08:01 - 09:31Hyderabad 07:59 - 09:28Chennai 07:50 - 09:20Ahmedabad 08:24 - 09:53Pune 08:17 - 09:47Kolkata 07:21 - 08:50Jaipur 08:12 - 09:41Kochi 08:06 - 09:36Lucknow 07:52 - 09:20Indore 08:11 - 09:40Guwahati 07:08 - 08:37Chandigarh 08:09 - 09:37Surat 08:22 - 09:51Visakhapatnam 07:40 - 09:09Nagpur 07:57 - 09:26Coimbatore 08:03 - 09:33Varanasi 07:43 - 09:12Bhubaneswar 07:30 - 08:59Sunrise is at 06:14:50 and sunset is at 18:03:53. These two anchors matter more than we admit. Sunrise is a daily reset button. Even if the morning is busy, try to steal five minutes after 06:14:50 for a quiet sip of water, a short prayer, or simply looking at the sky. Small steadiness beats grand plans. Sunset at 18:03:53 brings the day to a gentle close. The mind often replays the day’s conversations at dusk. This is where Sandhya time helps. It tells you to shift gears. Leave work talk behind, wash your face, and let the home feel like home again. Moonrise is at 11:32:32 PM, and moonset is at 10:05:31 AM, Mar 10. With the Moon rising late, the day’s emotional tide may feel stronger at night. You might get a second wind for thinking, planning, or even overthinking. Be careful with that. Late night scrolling can become a habit on such nights. Since the Moon is moving from Libra into Scorpio, the night can feel intense. Dreams may be vivid. The heart may want answers. Give it soothing inputs. A little prayer, a little music, a little gratitude note. Sleep will come easier.Actionable advice: Start your morning with a simple sunrise routine, and keep the last 20 minutes before bed screen free so the late Moonrise doesn’t pull you into unnecessary mental noise.No major Vrat or festival is observed today. That doesn’t mean the day is spiritually ordinary. The Hindu month context still colours the mind. As per the calendars in use, the month is Phalguna in the amanta system and Chaitra in the purnimanta system. Phalguna carries a soft warmth, the feeling of endings and sweetness, like a tree shedding old leaves before new ones appear. Chaitra brings the whisper of a fresh cycle, a cleaner slate. Today sits between those moods, and you can use it well. Relationships can feel a bit touchy because the Moon changes sign at 09/03/2026 09:29:55. In the early hours, Libra Moon energy wants harmony, so choose kind words if you need to raise an issue at home. After the shift into Scorpio, you may feel less tolerant of half truths. That’s not wrong, it’s just sharper. Ask yourself, do you want closeness, or do you want to win? If you’re in a partnership, keep one small act of care in the day. A warm check in call. A shared cup of tea. A sincere apology if you’ve been short tempered. Work and career matters look better once you respect the morning caution. Avoid big beginnings during Rahu Kaal from 07:43 to 09:12. Use that time for planning, drafting, and checking. Then move into clearer action. Vanij Karan till 23:27:11 supports business like progress, negotiations, and practical decisions. If you’re job hunting, refine your resume and send it in a good muhurta window. If you’re studying, set a fixed target, like finishing one chapter and revising it, not just reading. On the spiritual side, you have strong supportive yogas later. Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga and Ravi Yoga from 2026 03-09 16:12:34 to 2026-03-10 06:12:36 can be used for prayer with intention, starting a disciplined habit, or making a simple sankalp. No need for drama. Light a diya at dusk in Godhuli Muhurta from 2026-03-09 18:03:50 to 2026-03-09 18:28:08, sit for a few minutes, and mentally offer the day’s effort. Also mind the evening Varjyam from 2026-03-09 20:41:34 to 2026-03-09 22:27:23. Keep the home calm. Eat lighter. Don’t pick fights, and don’t shop out of boredom. If you’re feeling restless, take a short walk or do gentle stretching instead. The sky today is like a river with a few whirlpools. Step around them, and you’ll still reach your shore. Actionable advice: Postpone purchases and new starts until after the morning caution, do one focused work push in Vijay Muhurta from 2026-03-09 14:06:56 to 2026-03-09 14:54:16, and end the day with a quiet diya at dusk plus 9 chants of “Om Raam Rahave Namaha” for steadier sleep.
