Astrological Details for Oct 7 2026: Sun in Hasta, Moon in Leo, Rahu Kaal
On 7 October 2026, the Hindu almanac (Panchang) outlines a comprehensive set of planetary positions and time‑blocks that guide daily activities. The date falls in the Ashwin month’s Krishna Paksha, with Dwadashi lasting until 23:16 hours before Thrayodashi begins.
Solar and lunar timings are as follows: sunrise at 06:24, sunset at 18:05, Chandrodaya at 02:59, and Chandrastha at 16:02.
The Sun will travel through the Hasta constellation, the 13th nakshatra ruled by the Moon and placed in the sign of Virgo. This transit is believed to influence all twelve zodiac signs profoundly, with the Moon acting as a friendly counterpart to the Sun. Meanwhile, the Moon will be situated in Leo, a sign governed by the Sun, amplifying leadership, confidence, and emotional intensity.
A Shubh Yog (Yoga number 23) will be active until 02:51 a.m., offering an extremely auspicious window for engagements, weddings, house‑warming ceremonies, vehicle purchases, business inaugurations, and travel.
The Abhijit Muhurat, recognized as the day’s most beneficial period, will occur from 11:45 a.m. to 12:32 p.m. This roughly 48‑minute slot, known as the eighth Muhurat, corresponds with the Sun at its apex, neutralising adverse influences on any action taken.
Amrit Kaal, described as a time that yields results comparable to divine nectar, will be from 19:18 to 20:52. This interval promises heightened success for new ventures, investments, pooja activities, and important trips.
Rahu Kaal will span 12:14 p.m. to 13:42 p.m. According to traditional calculations that divide daytime into eight equal parts, this period is unsuitable for initiating new or auspicious tasks, though ongoing work may continue.
Gulika Kaal, often termed a “toxic” period, will last from 10:47 a.m. to 12:14 p.m. Starting fresh projects is discouraged, but repetitive or charitable actions such as bank deposits, donations, or investments are acceptable.
Yamagandha Kaal, linked to the ruler of death, will be observed from 07:52 a.m. to 09:19 a.m. This segment is considered inauspicious for new business, travel, or financial transactions due to potential health and longevity challenges.
With the Sun in Virgo, the day favors practical, methodical work, while the Moon in Leo energises personal confidence and leadership. Vastu guidelines label the northern direction as a Disha‑Shool for this day, recommending avoidance of travel toward the north.
