Aaj Ka Panchang, January 4, 2026: Today marks the beginning of the Krishna Paksha (dark fortnight) of the month of Paush, and the date is Krishna Pratipada, which marks the beginning of the new lunar month.

This day is considered auspicious for introspection, resolution, and laying the foundation for new plans. Today’s Punarvasu Nakshatra is favorable for stability, reconstruction, and auspicious work.

This Nakshatra helps restore balance and positivity in life. Auspicious deeds, donations, or spiritual practices performed throughout the day will bring mental peace and success in the coming days.

The Moon is in Cancer, which symbolizes emotions, family, and compassion. This will keep the mind soft and sensitive.

Today’s Vaidhriti Yoga (considered associated with success and long-term benefits) will provide stability in work. This time of autumn is favorable for self-control, spiritual practice, and self-development. Worshipping Lord Vishnu or Shiva, donating lamps, and meditating will bring auspicious results.
