Kharmas is a one-month astrological period that begins when the Sun enters the zodiac signs ruled by Jupiter—Sagittarius (Dhanu) or Pisces (Meen). Because the Sun's energy weakens in these signs, it is considered astrologically "impure" or low-energy for worldly celebrations.

Being a Friday, Rahukaal falls in the morning hours. Today, it is from 10:39 AM to 12:18 PM. It is highly advised to avoid starting new business deals or signing important documents during this time.

Dhundhiraj Chaturthi will be celebrated on Saturday, 21st February 2026. Although the Chaturthi Tithi begins on the afternoon of Feb 20, the fast and main rituals are observed on Feb 21 as per the Udaya Tithi (sunrise) rule.

An afflicted Lagna (e.g., influenced by Rahu, Saturn, or Mars in a negative way) can make a person struggle with health, bad habits, or aggressive behavior. However, if the Lagna Lord is strongly placed in a Kendra (1, 4, 7, 10) or Trikona (1, 5, 9), it acts as a massive shield and cancels out most of the negativity.
