Astrological Guide for Tuesday, Sep 8 2026: Pradosh Fast, Sun-Moon Positions and Yoga Timings

On Tuesday, 8 September 2026, the Hindu calendar marks the Bhav Pradosh fast, a day that is especially favorable for Shiva worship. The fast starts after the Dwadashi period ends at 2:43 PM and continues through the night. The optimal window for puja is from 6:35 PM to 8:52 PM. Sunrise occurs at 6:15 AM and sunset at 6:34 PM. The Moon rises at 3:02 AM and sets at 4:46 PM. The Sun remains in the Falgunī nakshatra, while the Moon stays in Pushya until 4:39 PM before moving into Aśleṣā. Important yogas for the day are Sarvārtha Siddhi (4:39 PM – 6:03 AM next day), Parigh (until 12:39 AM), and Shiv yoga thereafter. The most auspicious muhurat, Abhijit, runs from 11:59 AM to 12:49 PM, and the Amrit Kāl from 10:40 AM to 12:09 PM. Inauspicious intervals include Rahukāla (3:29 PM‑5:01 PM), Gulik Kāl (12:24 PM‑1:56 PM) and Yamagand Kāl (9:19 AM‑10:52 AM). Traditional guidance suggests avoiding the initiation of new activities during these times. The Sun is positioned in Leo, the Moon in Cancer, and the north direction is governed by Dishaśūla, a direction generally avoided for travel unless astrological countermeasures are applied.
