November 16 Panchang: Sun Enters Scorpio, Moon Moves into Capricorn

New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : The Panchang holds significant importance in Hinduism, guiding auspicious activities, travels, investments, and rituals. It is based on the positions of the Sun, Moon, and other celestial bodies.

On Monday night, November 16, the Shukla Paksha’s Saptami Tithi begins at 2:01 AM and lasts until 4:19 AM on Tuesday. Following this, the Shukla Paksha’s Ashtami Tithi will commence, continuing until 6:05 AM on November 18. Sunrise on Monday is at 6:45 AM, with sunset occurring at 5:37 PM. The Moon will rise at 12:12 PM and set at 11:29 PM.

Before 7:15 AM on Monday, the Gand Yoga will be in effect, transitioning to the Vridhi Yoga, which lasts until the morning of November 17. Vridhi Yoga, ranked 11th among the 27 Nitya Yogas, symbolizes growth and prosperity. It is considered highly auspicious, with the Sun as its primary deity and Mercury as its governing planet. Activities initiated during this period are believed to lead to continuous success and advancement.

The Abhijit Muhurat, deemed the most favorable time of the day, will occur from 11:49 AM to 12:33 PM. This period is approximately 48 minutes long and is believed to eliminate negative influences when actions are undertaken during this time.

Amritkaal, another auspicious period, will take place from 2:39 PM to 4:27 PM. This time is regarded as filled with positive energy, ideal for new ventures, investments, rituals, and significant journeys.

However, the Rahukal, considered inauspicious for starting new or beneficial tasks, will be from 8:06 AM to 9:28 AM. It is calculated by dividing the time between sunrise and sunset into eight equal parts. During this period, it is advisable to avoid initiating new projects, though ongoing tasks can continue.

Yamgand Kaal, linked to health and longevity, will occur from 10:49 AM to 12:11 PM. This time is seen as unfavorable for starting new endeavors, including businesses or travel, as it may bring about obstacles.

Gulik Kaal, known as “poisonous time,” will take place from 1:33 PM to 2:54 PM. Activities initiated during this period are believed to yield negative outcomes. Therefore, new tasks should be avoided, although ongoing work can proceed.

At 7:40 PM, the Sun will enter Scorpio. Astrologically, the Sun represents self-esteem, fame, and leadership. Its transition into Scorpio is thought to enhance people’s energy and determination. Some may experience significant gains in their careers, businesses, and investments, while others are advised to exercise caution in speech and financial dealings.

On this day, the Moon will transit into Capricorn, a sign ruled by Saturn, which embodies discipline and hard work. Individuals influenced by this lunar position are typically dedicated, responsible, and practical, making decisions based on logic rather than emotions.

Traveling in the eastern direction is considered inauspicious on this day, according to astrological and Vastu principles.
