New Delhi, October 3 (Daily Kiran) : October 4, 2026, marks a significant day in the Hindu calendar as the Krishna Paksha Navami begins at 2:21 AM on Sunday. The sunrise will occur at 7:54 AM, while sunset is expected at 7:23 PM. The Panchang, a traditional Hindu calendar, is based on the movements and positions of the sun, moon, and other celestial bodies.
On this day, the sun will be positioned in the Hasta Nakshatra. According to astrology, this placement profoundly impacts all twelve zodiac signs. The moon, which governs the Hasta Nakshatra, is considered friendly with the sun. In Vedic astrology, Hasta is the thirteenth Nakshatra, symbolizing ‘hand’ and is associated with the Virgo zodiac.
The Parigh Yoga will prevail until 3:21 AM on Sunday. This yoga, ranked nineteenth among the 27 Nitya Yogas in the Vedic calendar, symbolizes obstacles or barriers. The term ‘Parigh’ refers to the main gate of a city or an iron rod used to secure a door, indicating both protection and hindrance. Saturn is the ruling planet of this yoga, while Lord Vishwakarma is its presiding deity.
The Abhijit Muhurat, considered the most auspicious time, will occur from 1:16 PM to 2:02 PM. This period, lasting about 48 minutes, is believed to bring success to any endeavors started during this time. It is said that actions taken during Abhijit Muhurat are blessed by Lord Brahma, leading to the elimination of faults.
Additionally, Amritkal will take place from 6:27 PM to 7:58 PM on Saturday. This time is viewed as exceptionally favorable, filled with positive energy, and is ideal for new ventures, investments, rituals, and significant travels.
Conversely, Rahukal will be from 5:57 PM to 7:23 PM, a period deemed inauspicious for initiating new or auspicious activities. This time is calculated by dividing the daylight hours into eight equal parts, resulting in approximately 90 minutes. It is advisable to refrain from starting new tasks during this interval, though ongoing activities can continue.
Gulika Kal, occurring from 4:31 PM to 5:57 PM, is often referred to as ‘poisonous time.’ Activities initiated during this period are thought to yield negative outcomes. While it is best to avoid new endeavors, ongoing tasks can proceed, and routine activities such as banking or donations are considered acceptable.
Yamgand Kal will be from 1:39 PM to 3:05 PM, a time associated with Lord Yama, the god of death. This period is seen as unfavorable for health, longevity, and may bring misfortunes. It is advisable to avoid starting new businesses or travels and to refrain from financial transactions during this time.
As the sun enters Virgo, its influence on personal life, work, and intellectual capabilities becomes pronounced. Vedic beliefs suggest that practical and well-planned actions during this phase are particularly beneficial.
The moon will reside in Gemini until 3:01 PM, after which it will transition into Cancer. This shift brings significant changes to a person’s mental and emotional state. The moon’s entry into Cancer, its own sign, amplifies sensitivity and emotional responses. While the moon in Gemini fosters intellectual engagement and communication, its presence in Cancer encourages a yearning for peace and family connections, leading to decisions driven more by emotion than logic.
