The Stars of Kanya, with the Moon and Planets on 6 Dec
At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Kumbh, outside this map; its next stay in Kanya runs from 20 Dec, 7:50 AM to 22 Dec, 12:14 PM. Also on this map: Jupiter in Kanya.
Kanya as the 1st House: Where All Nine Grahas Are on 6 Dec
Every house is counted from Kanya, so this chart is Kanya's gochar on that day. Positions at 12:00 PM, sidereal (Lahiri). The number in each house is its rashi: 1 for Mesh to 12 for Meen. R after a graha: retrograde.
Kanya on 6 Dec: the Moon is in your 6th (health, work and competition) all day (Supports); 4 of the 9 planets support, 5 need attention.

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 6 Dec: 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.
Dhaiya for Kanya is paused: Saturn is in Meen, your 7th, until 23 Feb 2028. The whole dhaiya ends on 17 Apr 2030.
- dhaiya Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45
Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Meen: from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028.
- Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19
Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 7th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.
The next Sade Sati for Kanya begins on 27 Aug 2036 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 Aug 2044, with Saturn stepping out of it from 11 Dec 2043 to 23 Jun 2044.
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 Vrishchik on 6 Dec, the 3rd house from Kanya, until 15 Dec, 2:07 AM. 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 6 Dec, the Moon is in Kumbh; its next stay in Kanya runs from 20 Dec, 7:50 AM to 22 Dec, 12:14 PM: 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 6 Dec, the Moon is in Purva Bhadrapada; its next pass through Kanya begins in Uttara Phalguni pada 2, from 20 Dec, 7:50 AM. 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?
The dhaiya (8th house) for Kanya is paused on 6 Dec: Saturn is in Meen, the 7th house from Kanya, and returns on 23 Feb 2028. The whole span runs from 3 Jun to Saturn's final exit on 17 Apr 2030. The next Sade Sati for Kanya begins on 27 Aug 2036 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 30 Aug 2044, with Saturn stepping out of it from 11 Dec 2043 to 23 Jun 2044. 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?
Saturn moves into Mesh on 23 Feb 2028, 7:24 PM, the 8th house from Kanya; Jupiter moves into Singh on 28 Feb 2028, 7:17 PM, the 12th house from Kanya; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 3:08 PM, the 4th and 10th houses from Kanya (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 24 Jun 2028). 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 6 Dec, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Sagittarius 13°53′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Vrishchik 19°39′ 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.
