Aarav Sharma’s Varshaphal 2026–27

The moment your year begins

Your solar return this year fell on 15 August 2026 at 00:26 UTC, which is 05:56 in India, cast for Jaipur, your birthplace. It opens your thirty-sixth year, the year after your thirty-fifth birthday, and runs until the next return on 15 August 2027.

At that moment the Sun was just below the eastern horizon, about to rise, so this is a night chart. In Tajik, a night chart gives the Moon a larger voice among the year’s officials.

Karka rising for the year

The annual Lagna is Karka (Cancer), the sign of the Moon, of home, family, care and feeling. Your birth Lagna is Simha, a sign of leadership and visibility; a Karka year turns that outward energy towards home, emotional security, family matters and looking after the people close to you.

Karka is also the 12th sign from your birth Lagna, so the year carries a quieter, more private undertone: rest, reflection, spiritual practice and perhaps travel. It is a year to build inner strength rather than chase applause.

Muntha in the 1st house of the annual chart

Muntha is a sensitive point that moves one sign each year from your birth Lagna. This year it is in Karka, and Karka is the annual Lagna itself, so Muntha sits in the 1st house of the annual chart. Tajik texts count Muntha in the 1st as favourable: the year centres on you, your health, your self-confidence and new personal beginnings.

Muntha’s lord is the Moon, and the Moon also rules the annual Lagna. That double emphasis makes the Moon the key graha of your year: your mood, your home and the way you care for yourself set the tone for everything else.

Four officials, two grahas

Tajik names five officials of the year, from whom the year lord is chosen. Four are given here: the Muntha lord, the Moon; the birth Lagna lord, the Sun; the annual Lagna lord, the Moon again; and the day/night lord, which for a night chart is the lord of the Moon’s sign, the Sun. The fifth, the Tri-rashi lord, is not given because Tajik sources differ on its table.

Only two grahas hold all four offices: the Moon and the Sun, the two lights. That is a clear signal. The year asks you to balance the Sun’s themes of purpose, authority and self-expression with the Moon’s themes of feeling, family and care. In your birth chart the Sun rules your Lagna and the Moon sits in your 3rd house, so the year also favours communication, writing and short journeys that serve both.

The 1st house of the annual chart: Sun, Mercury and Jupiter

In the annual chart the Sun, Mercury and Jupiter all sit in Karka, the annual 1st house. Jupiter in the annual Lagna is one of the most welcome placements in Varshaphal: wisdom, protection, good counsel and growth. The Sun there adds confidence and visibility, and Mercury adds plans, study and communication. Together they make this a year of personal growth guided by learning and good advice.

The Moon and Ketu in the annual 2nd, Venus in the annual 3rd

In the annual chart the Moon sits in Simha, the 2nd house of family, speech and savings, with Ketu. Money and family are emotionally important this year; the Ketu note asks for simplicity with spending rather than attachment to it. In the annual chart Venus sits in Kanya, its 3rd house, favouring pleasant communication, creative work and good relations with siblings and neighbours.

Saturn in the annual 9th, Rahu in the annual 8th, Mars in the annual 12th

In the annual chart Saturn sits in Meena, the 9th house of fortune, teachers and long journeys: steady, disciplined study and patient long-term plans are rewarded. In the annual chart Rahu sits in Kumbha, its 8th house, which asks for care with shared finances, paperwork and sudden changes. In the annual chart Mars sits in Mithuna, its 12th house, suggesting energy spent on travel, research or work behind the scenes; channel it into exercise rather than frustration.

Vimshottari and Yogini

In your Vimshottari dasha, this year runs through the final months of Guru Mahadasha and Rahu Antardasha, with the Shukra pratyantar from 15 October 2026 to 10 March 2027, then Surya, Chandra and Mangal, ending on 26 August 2027 when your Shani Mahadasha begins, eleven days after this year closes.

In the Yogini dasha, a second, shorter cycle, you are in Sankata, ruled by Rahu, until 28 November 2026, and then in Mangala, ruled by the Moon, until 29 November 2027. Mangala is traditionally the gentlest Yogini, and its lord is the Moon: the same graha that leads your annual chart. Both systems point the same way, towards a calmer, more nurturing second half of the year.

For the Moon and the Sun

With the Moon leading the year, Monday practices are the natural support: simple food, time near water, offering milk or white rice, and honest time with family. For the Sun, offer water to the rising Sun, especially on Sundays and on the anniversary of your solar return each August.

Many families mark the solar return itself with a small puja or an act of charity at the start of the Tajik year.

The solar-return moment was found by the iAstroGuru Engine to within a hundredth of a degree of your birth Sun, using sidereal (Lahiri) positions, and the annual chart was cast for your birthplace with whole-sign houses. Muntha advances one sign a year from the birth Lagna. The Yogini dasha uses the standard 36-year cycle from the birth nakshatra.
