Panchanga is a calendar used in Vedic astrology to determine the auspicious and inauspicious times 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 based only on our natal chart. Panchanga is the life force energy that nourishes the birth chart.

Do not wait for perfect plans; take the next step, Sagittarius
Sometimes, waiting for the perfect moment can keep us stuck in life. For Sagittarius, the present time is about trusting the process and moving forward, even if everything does not feel perfectly aligned. According to astrologer Neeraj Dhankher, Sagittarius folks need to stop waiting for perfect plans and take that step forward to move ahead in life.

But today, your real power comes from following your gut. Trust your ideas and take action that feels right for you. Dhankher adds, 'Confidence comes through working in sync. A few steps in the right direction will foster self-trust.' Whether it is a bold pitch, a career switch, or simply speaking up, this is your sign to go for it. The same advice applies to finances. Choose investments or money decisions that align with your values. You will feel more secure and empowered knowing your actions support your purpose. In matters of the heart, Dhankher explains, 'How you act toward yourself determines the tone for all your other relationships.' If you treat yourself with kindness and respect, others will reflect that energy to you. For those in relationships, this is a good time to check if the love you give is as strong as the love you give yourself.

Karmic Astrology: Role of past life in current birth chart
Karmic astrology is a fascinating branch of Vedic astrology that deals with the influence of past life actions—known as karma—on one's present life. It operates on the spiritual belief that our soul goes through many lifetimes and carries forward unresolved lessons, patterns, and experiences. These karmic imprints are believed to reflect in the current birth chart, especially through specific planetary positions and combinations. One of the key indicators of karmic influence in a horoscope is the presence and placement of Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets. Rahu represents desires and attachments from past lives that remain unfulfilled, while Ketu symbolizes past life mastery or detachment. Together, they form the karmic axis in a birth chart and help astrologers identify the areas of life where a person may face recurring challenges or experience strong, unexplained pulls. For example, a person with Rahu in the 7th house may feel a strong desire for relationships or partnerships in this life, possibly due to a lack of emotional bonding in a past life. Ketu in the 1st house, in the same case, might show a detachment from self-identity or a personality shaped by spiritual tendencies from a previous birth. Apart from Rahu and Ketu, certain yogas (planetary combinations) in a chart can also point to karmic patterns. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending Local Enterprise Accounting Software [Click Here] Accounting ERP Click Here Undo The presence of Saturn, the planet of discipline and lessons, in challenging positions can indicate unresolved duties or debts from past lifetimes that one must now address. Karmic astrology doesn't only focus on negative consequences. It also highlights positive karma—blessings and talents carried over from previous lives. A person may be naturally gifted in art, music, healing, or leadership, hinting at past-life efforts that are now bearing fruit. Karmic astrology helps us understand why we face certain patterns, fears, or situations repeatedly in life. By identifying these patterns, individuals can gain greater clarity and choose a more conscious path toward healing, self-growth, and fulfillment. It is a reminder that while we cannot change the past, we can transform its impact by living wisely in the present.

The deities are bathed on the 'Snana Mandap' (bathing altar), the elevated pedestal facing the Grand Road where devotees get the opportunity to witness the bathing rituals, they said. On the occasion, three deities – Lord Jagannath, Lord Balabhadra and Devi Subhadra – were brought to the 'Snana Mandap' (bathing altar) with ceremonial 'pahandi' (procession), officials of the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration (SJTA) said. Puri, Jun 11 (PTI) Lakhs of devotees, including Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and other dignitaries, gathered here on Wednesday to witness Lord Jagannath's ceremonial bathing rituals, held in an open pandal on the premises of the 12th-century temple. 'Shree Sudarshan was first brought out of the shrine and taken to the bathing altar at 5.45 am. After that, idols of Lord Balabhadra, Devi Subhadra and Lord Jagannath were taken to the bathing altar,' an official said. The 'Pahandi ritual' was completed by 8.55 am, he said. Accompanied by Puri MP Sambit Patra, the chief minister entered the temple through the 'Uttara Dwara' (northern gate) and witnessed the morning prayers and the ceremonial procession of the deities, another official said. The festival, known as Deva Snana Purnima, takes place on the full moon day in the month of Jyestha, and this is the first occasion in a year when the wooden idols are brought out of the sanctum sanctorum in a procession and placed on the 'Snana Mandap' for the bathing rituals. It is also considered the birthday of Lord Jagannath. Amid chanting of Vedic mantra, altogether 108 pitchers of 'sacred water' from the 'Sunakua' (golden well), located on the temple premises, will be poured on the idols around 12.20 pm on Wednesday, another official said. Soon after Puri titular king Gajapati Maharaj Dibyasingha Deb would perform ceremonial sweeping of the 'Snana Mandap' around 3.30 pm, the deities will be adorned with 'Gaja Vesha' (attire of elephant God), he said. 'Sahan Mela' or public darshan will be allowed from 7.30 pm, the temple calendar said. The deities will be taken to the 12th-century shrine and remain in 'Anasara Ghar' (isolation room) for 14 days as they fall ill after having the bath. The temple 'Baidya' (physician) would treat them with herbal medicines, and public 'darshan' of the deities will remain closed till 'Nabajouban darshan' till June 26, a day prior to the annual Rath Yatra on June 27.
