Astrological Timings for Oct 6 2026: Sun in Virgo, Moon in Cancer, Key Muhurats

The Panchang for Tuesday, 6 October 2026, records the end of Ashwin’s Krishna Ekadashi at 00:34 hours and the start of Dwadashi shortly thereafter. Daylight begins with sunrise at 06:24 and concludes with sunset at 18:06. Moonrise is noted at 01:58 and moonset at 15:25.

The Sun’s placement in the Hasta constellation (the 13th nakshatra) influences every zodiac sign, with the Moon as its lord and Virgo as its sign. Siddha Yoga, a highly auspicious yoga, remains active until 07:19, supporting mentorship and selfless service.

Abhijit Muhurat, the most favourable 48‑minute stretch of the day, runs from 11:51 AM to 12:38 PM. Performing tasks during this interval is said to neutralise negative forces.

Amrit Kal, extending from 20:44 to 22:16, is described as a period of divine nourishment, ideal for launching enterprises, making investments, conducting puja or undertaking significant travel. In contrast, Rahu Kalam (15:10‑16:38) is an inauspicious window for new beginnings, though existing projects may continue. Gulik Kalam (12:15‑13:42) is labeled a “poisonous” time; new actions should be avoided, yet routine activities like deposits, donations, or investments are permissible.

Yamagand Kala occurs between 09:19 and 10:47, tied to the deity Yama, and is believed to bring health, longevity and financial challenges. Travel, new contracts or major purchases are best deferred. The Sun’s residence in Virgo advises meticulous planning, while the Moon’s stay in Cancer until 22:17 enhances emotional sensitivity and creative imagination. Directions marked as unfavourable for movement are the North and North‑East (Ishaan) quadrants, so journeys toward those bearings are discouraged.
