This week’s Panchanga features retrogrades alongside spiritual occasions. Mercury will become retrograde, so one should be careful with communication, travel, and decision-making. In contrast, Jupiter’s retrograde calls for a period of pondering, of wisdom, and of reviewing one’s course in life. The conjunction of the Sun and Moon Vaidhriti creates a mighty power for spiritual discipline and awareness. Kalabhairav Jayanti will be celebrated by devotees and is dedicated to Kalabhairava, a ferocious form of Shiva worshipped for protection, courage, and the removal of obstacles. Let’s delve into the detailed Panchanga for New Delhi, NCT, India.

Inauspicious Rahu Kalam This Week

According to Vedic astrology, Rahu is an inauspicious planet. During the transition of planets, time under the influence of Rahu should be avoided when doing any auspicious work. Doing Puja, Hawan or Yagya to propitiate auspicious planets during this time is interfered with by Rahu due to its malefic nature. It is important to consider Rahu Kaal before starting any new work. By doing so, the likelihood of achieving desired results increases. Following are the timings of Rahu Kalam for this week:

• November 08: 09:21 AM to 10:43 AM
• November 09: 04:09 PM to 05:30 PM
• November 10: 08:01 AM to 09:22 AM

• November 13: 01:26 PM to 02:47 PM
• November 14: 10:45 AM to 12:05 PM

Panchanga is a calendar used in Vedic astrology to determine the auspicious and inauspicious time for performing day-to-day tasks based on the prevailing planetary position. It comprises five elements – Vaara, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana. The essence of the Panchanga is the inter-relationship between the Sun (our soul) and the Moon (mind) on a daily basis. Panchanga is used in different branches of Vedic astrology, such as natal, election, prashna (horary), and religious calendars, as well as to understand the day’s energy. The day of our birth panchanga depicts our emotions, temperament, and nature. It can provide more insight into who we are and how we feel. It can amplify the effects of the planets and endow us with additional characteristics that we may not understand solely from our natal chart. Panchanga is the life force energy that nourishes the birth chart.
