Religious Significance
Today is particularly special as it marks Kalashtami and Masik Krishna Janmashtami. Since it is a Saturday, it is also a powerful day to offer prayers to Lord Shani to seek discipline and perseverance in your life.
Summary for the Day
Today’s energy is influenced by the Hasta Nakshatra, which is often associated with craftsmanship, hard work, and the “power to gain what we are seeking.” However, with the Atiganda Yoga prevailing for most of the day, it is wise to stay patient and avoid getting into unnecessary arguments.
