Today is a Tuesday (Mangalvar) ruled by the dynamic planet Mars (Mangal). The Moon is beautifully placed in its sign of exaltation, Taurus (Vrishabha), all day.

Ashtakvarga is based on physical planetary bodies that emit physical light and influence. Since Rahu and Ketu are mathematical shadow nodes (छाया ग्रह) and lack physical mass, they do not project points (Bindus) in this specific 8-fold system.

Guru Pratipada falls on Monday, February 2, 2026 (Magh Krishna Pratipada). This is the day after Magh Purnima.
