A day that feels like yours
The Moon is in your own sign today, so your feelings run closer to the surface than usual. Use it: this is a good day to look after yourself, make a personal decision or start something that is just for you. If small things sting more than they should, give them a few hours before you reply.
The sky: The Moon is in Makar (Capricorn) all day. Its nakshatra is Uttara Ashadha until 3:38 pm: a fixed star, good for anything meant to last: foundations, planting and long-term plans.

How this reading is worked out
Each day we look at where the Sun, Moon and planets are in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa) and count their houses from your moon sign, as in the classical gochar (transit) rules. The Moon, which moves on every two or three days, sets the tone of the day; the slower planets set the background. Lucky time is the hora (planetary hour) of the planet that helps you most today, avoiding Rahu kaal.
It is a reading for everyone born with the Moon in this sign, not a prediction for you personally: your own chart says much more. Times are IST, for Jalandhar. Planet positions: Astronomy Engine (MIT licence).
