This week’s Panchanga is filled with significant astrological events that will influence our lives in various ways. This week, we celebrate Ganesh Chaturthi, a time to seek blessings from Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. This is an ideal moment to focus on new beginnings, clear away negativity, and invite positivity into our lives. Talking of transits, the Sun and Saturn are in deep opposition, creating a tension that might bring challenges, particularly in balancing responsibilities and personal goals. However, it’s also a time for growth and understanding. Mars will enter Ardra Nakshatra, bringing intense energy and a drive to overcome obstacles. This placement encourages us to face challenges head-on with determination. Another important event is the Sun and Jupiter forming a deep square, which could lead to moments of frustration but also opportunities for learning and expanding our horizons.

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 for different branches of Vedic astrology such as natal, election, prashna (horary), religious calendars, and to understand the energy of the day. 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 effect of the planets and endow us with additional characteristics that we may not understand only based on our natal chart. Panchanga is the life force energy that nourishes the birth chart.
