Anyone planning a new beginning, religious ritual, travel, investment, or important decision on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, should pay close attention to today's Panchang. The day begins with Ashadh Krishna Paksha Pratipada, but the lunar day changes to Dwitiya at 7:38 AM. Another key astrological event takes place in the afternoon when the Moon moves from Sagittarius (Dhanu) to Capricorn (Makar) at 1:31 PM, shifting the day's planetary energy. Rahu Kaal falls in the afternoon, making it an unsuitable period for starting major activities.
Here is everything you need to know before planning your day.

What Is Today's Tithi?
The day starts with Krishna Paksha Pratipada, which continues until 7:38 AM. After that, Krishna Dwitiya begins and remains in effect for the rest of the day.
Dwitiya is traditionally regarded as a favourable tithi for strengthening relationships, beginning routine work, planning finances, and continuing projects already underway. While it is not among the most celebrated tithis for grand ceremonies, many regular activities are considered suitable during this lunar phase when supported by a favourable muhurat.
Moon Transit Today
One of today's most important astrological events is the Moon's transition from Sagittarius to Capricorn at 1:31 PM.
Before the transit, the Moon remains in Sagittarius, encouraging optimism, learning, travel, and broader thinking. After entering Capricorn, the focus gradually shifts toward discipline, career, responsibilities, long-term planning, and practical decision-making.
For astrology followers, Moon transits often influence emotional patterns and are closely watched while selecting auspicious timings for important work.
Today's Nakshatra
The day begins under Purvashadha Nakshatra, which lasts until 6:51 AM.
Afterwards, Uttarashadha Nakshatra takes over.
Uttarashadha is traditionally associated with determination, leadership, persistence, and long-term success. Activities requiring commitment, structured planning, and steady progress are often considered more favourable once this Nakshatra begins.
Today's Yoga
Two yogas influence the day.
- Indra Yoga remains active until 4:04 PM.
- Vaidhriti Yoga begins after 4:04 PM.
Yoga is calculated using the positions of the Sun and Moon and is one of the five essential components of the Panchang. Many people consider it while choosing an auspicious time for religious rituals and significant life events.
Today's Karan
The day's Karan changes as follows:
- Kaulava till 7:38 AM
- Taitila from 7:38 AM to 8:40 PM
- Gara begins after 8:40 PM
Karans are important in Vedic astrology because they help determine the suitability of specific activities throughout the day.
