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. Significantly, the powerful Rohini Nakshatra and Indra Yoga (which then transitions into Rohini Yoga) are active, making this an excellent day for leadership, beauty, and rapid career progress.

While taking the pledge (Sankalp) to fast, devotees should chant: “Aadya sthitwa niraharah sarva bhoga vivarjitah. Shwo bhokshye pundarikaksha sharanam me bhavachyuta.” (O Lotus-eyed Lord, today I renounce all worldly pleasures and remain without food. Please grant me your shelter.)

Today, the prevailing Tithi is Dwitiya (द्वितीया) of the Shukla Paksha, lasting until 00:55 AM the next day. The active Nakshatra for the day is Ardra (आर्द्रा), lasting until 04:13 PM.

Yes. For Libra Ascendant, if the Moon (10th Lord) is strong and placed with the Sun (Authority) in the 10th or 11th house, it creates a powerful yoga for a Government Job or high administrative post.
