Panchang 7 August 2026: Krittika Hands Over to Rohini
The Moon spends today in Vrishabha (Taurus), which is Shukra's own sign, on Friday, which is Shukra's own day. That doubling is the quiet fact behind the whole date. The star changes at 6:43 PM, and the mood of the day changes with it.
Today's Panchang
Krishna Navami runs until 4:37 PM, then Dashami. The Moon travels through Krittika until 6:43 PM and then enters Rohini. Yoga is Vriddhi until 12:11 PM. Karana is Taitila until 5:47 AM. Sunrise is 5:45 AM and sunset 7:08 PM in Delhi.
The Moon is 40 percent lit and waning.
Two Very Different Stars in One Day
Krittika belongs to Agni, the fire that carries an offering from this world to the next. It is the sharpest star in the set. It cuts, it separates, and it tells you the truth whether or not you asked for it. The quarter the Moon holds today sits in the opening degrees of Vrishabha, the stretch classically read as Chandra's place of exaltation.
At 6:43 PM the Moon enters Rohini, which belongs to Brahma and is Chandra's favourite star in the whole zodiac. Rohini is growth, sweetness, and the pleasure of something taking root.
So the day cuts and the evening softens. Use the daylight for the honest conversation. Use the evening for the meal that follows it.
Windows to Work Around
Rahu Kaal runs 10:46 AM to 12:27 PM. Gulika sits earlier at 7:26 AM to 9:06 AM, and Yamaganda comes late at 3:48 PM to 5:28 PM.
The clean stretches today are 9:06 AM to 10:46 AM, and 12:27 PM to 3:48 PM. Abhijit runs 12:00 PM to 12:53 PM but its first half sits inside Rahu Kaal, so treat that window as beginning at 12:27 PM. Brahma Muhurat is 4:09 AM to 4:57 AM. Live timings are on the panchang for 7 August 2026.
A Friday Inside Shravan
Shukra rules both the day and the sign the Moon occupies, which reads as a day for what you love rather than what you owe. The house, the food, the music, the people you keep.
Sawan asks for one Monday a week. It does not ask you to be grim for the other six days. The month rewards beginning a practice, and a practice you enjoy is the one you will still be keeping on 28 August. The full calendar is on the Sawan 2026 guide.
Wearing Wood, or Counting on It
Karungali is black ebony, worn the way rudraksha is worn and for the same plain reason. Something on the body that reminds you the day has a shape. Our Karungali mala is strung ebony wood finished with a silver-plated Shivji pendant, made for daily wear rather than for a seated count.
If you would rather count than wear, the Panchmukhi mala strings 108 Original Nepal rudraksha, hand selected, lab certified under AstroGrade™, and knotted on sacred cotton rather than silk. A free lab X-ray certificate ships with it.
