Star positions are worked out for the hour from the catalogue (proper motion, parallax and aberration), in the same sidereal frame as the planets, with Lahiri ayanamsa. For the 36 stars compared, Swiss Ephemeris's own star file agrees within 2.4 arc-seconds. The Moon and planets are placed as seen from the Earth's centre; from your own place the Moon can look up to about 1° away from its spot here. The figure lines are our own; each yogatara is given by at least two of the sources listed above.

Kanya Rashifal for 20 Jul: Work, Love and Health
Aaj ka Kanya rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Kanya (कन्या) is the 6th rashi, 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Mercury, and it holds Uttara Phalguni padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Hasta and Chitra padas 1 and 2. In English it is called Virgo, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Kanya and the classical verse behind it.

Aaj ka Kanya Rashifal · Virgo Moon sign
Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Kanya: Exact Dates
Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.
No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Kanya now: Saturn is in Meen, your 7th, until 3 Jun 2027. The next, dhaiya (8th), runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030.
The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Kanya runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029.
Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions
Kanya Rashi Questions
Who is the lord (swami) of Kanya rashi?
Mercury, the lord of Kanya, is in Mithun on 20 Jul, the 10th house from Kanya, until 5 Aug, 7:54 PM. Mercury rules Kanya in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Mercury also rules Mithun.
Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Kanya rashi?
On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Kanya, from Saturday 18 Jul, 11:59 PM to Tuesday 21 Jul, 7:55 AM: a child born in those hours has Kanya as janma rashi. Kanya's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are To, Pa, Pi (Uttara Phalguni 2–4); Pu, Sha, Na, Tha (Hasta 1–4); Pe, Po (Chitra 1–2). A name starting with one of them gives Kanya as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.
Which nakshatras are in Kanya rashi?
On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Hasta, one of Kanya's nakshatras, and in its pada 4 until 7:10 PM. Kanya covers 150° to 180° of the sidereal zodiac: Uttara Phalguni padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Hasta and Chitra padas 1 and 2, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Kanya, your birth nakshatra is one of these.
What are Kanya rashi people like?
They are described as truthful and learned, gentle and sweet in speech, of good conduct, with a pleasing face and gaze. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.6, Saravali 23.37 and Hora Sara 29.6 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Kanya and its lord Mercury are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.
When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Kanya rashi?
Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Kanya on 20 Jul: Saturn is in Meen, the 7th house from Kanya. The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Kanya runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.
When does the time change for Kanya rashi?
Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 12:03 PM, the 12th house from Kanya; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 5th and 11th houses from Kanya (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM, the 8th house from Kanya. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Kanya, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.
What is Kanya rashi in English?
On 20 Jul, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Cancer 27°35′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kark 3°21′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Kanya is called Virgo in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Virgo need not have Kanya rashi.
