According to the Panchang for May 17, 2026, the Tithi is Shukla Pratipada (the first day of the bright half of the lunar month), marking the beginning of Shukla Paksha. The Nakshatra for the day is Krittika.

For Sagittarius ascendant, Mercury is the 10th Lord. If your Mercury is strong and sits with the Sun (which is the 9th Lord of luck), it creates a massive Rajyoga specifically for clearing Civil Services (IAS/IPS/Administration) and holding high administrative power.

If the lords of your 2nd or 11th house are placed in the 6th, 8th, or 12th house (Bad Houses), or if they are debilitated (Neech), it forms a Daridra Yog, creating obstacles in saving money.

Tapasvi Rajyoga forms when Rahu and Jupiter sit together in the 5th or 9th House. Unlike the feared Chandal Dosha, this combination grants immense, specialized knowledge. The person earns massive wealth through deep intellect, such as Data Science, AI, Astrology, research, or foreign languages.
