Overview

Jupiter entered Leo, your 7th house from the Moon, on 31 Oct, just before the month began, and spends all of it there. Jupiter in the 7th favours marriage and partnership: a proposal, a reconciliation or a good contract are traditionally more likely, and comforts increase. From Leo it also looks at your 11th, your 1st and your 3rd houses (income and friendships; personal matters; effort and messages), and its gaze on your Moon sign itself is traditionally protective.

Saturn is in Pisces, your 2nd house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 2nd is the last phase of Sade Sati: family duties and money need careful handling, and words spoken in tiredness cost more than usual. You are in the third and last phase of Sade Sati, the seven and a half years of Saturn around the Moon: tradition reads it as a time of slow building, not of punishment.

Rahu is in your 1st house and Ketu in your 7th. Rahu over the Moon sign stirs restlessness and ambition; keep decisions grounded and sleep regular. Ketu in the 7th can cool a partnership; make time to listen. On 5 Dec the nodes change signs by the mean node used on Sunyra (panchangs that use the true node give an earlier date): Rahu moves to your 12th house and Ketu to your 6th, where they stay for about eighteen months.

Between 12 Nov and 16 Nov Mars, Jupiter and Ketu come together in Leo, your 7th from your Moon. Expect partnership to take more of your attention.

Love and marriage

Venus, the planet of love, begins the month retrograde in Libra (your 9th house), slips back into Virgo — debilitated (its weakest sign), your 8th — on 6 Nov, turns direct on 14 Nov and moves into Libra — in its own sign, your 9th — on 22 Nov. Venus in the 8th is, in the classical texts, a good position: gains and private pleasures. Once Venus is direct, talks that stalled in recent weeks tend to move again; it is wiser to make big promises after the station than before it.

Your 7th house of marriage holds Mars, Jupiter and Ketu mid-month. What Mars, Jupiter and Ketu bring there is described above; for love, it is the house to handle with the most care and warmth this month.

Career and money

The Sun starts the month in your 9th house — the Sun in the 9th tests ties with father or mentors; be patient. On 16 Nov it moves into Scorpio, your 10th: the Sun in the 10th is excellent for work: recognition and success in tasks. Mercury turns direct in your 9th house on 13 Nov — paperwork, deals and messages delayed in recent weeks start to clear, though it is sensible to sign big contracts a few days after the station.

Saturn sits in your 2nd house (savings and family money), so what the overview says about it applies directly to savings and family money. Nothing here is financial advice: use it to time effort, not to take risks.

Health and energy

Mars, the planet of energy, starts the month in Cancer (debilitated), your 6th house: Mars in the 6th is strong: you beat deadlines and rivals, and health recovers quickly. From 12 Nov it moves to Leo, your 7th: Mars in the 7th can heat up partnerships; choose calm words with your spouse and colleagues. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 5–7 Nov: tradition advises rest, no risky travel and no big decisions on those days. None of this replaces medical advice.

Festivals this month

Date Festival The Moon for you
6 Nov Dhanteras Moon in Virgo, your 8th
8 Nov Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) Moon in Libra, your 9th
10 Nov Govardhan Puja Moon in Scorpio, your 10th
11 Nov Bhai Dooj Moon in Scorpio, your 10th

Diwali's Lakshmi Puja on 8 Nov is held on the evening of the Kartik Amavasya; the new Moon itself is exact on 9 Nov at 12:32 in Libra (your 9th house). For your sign the festival's new Moon falls among luck, faith, teachers, your father and long journeys: a good, unhurried place to set an intention. Dhanteras buying is a custom, not an astrological necessity; buy only what you planned to.

Best and careful dates in November 2026

Best days: 1–2 Nov, 10–14 Nov, 22–23 Nov and 28–29 Nov. Careful days (chandrashtama): 5–7 Nov. Quieter days: 15–17 Nov.

How these are chosen: each day's Moon (at noon UTC+5:30) is counted from your Moon sign. The 3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th are the classical upachaya houses where the transiting Moon helps effort and results; the 8th is chandrashtama, kept free of new beginnings; the 12th favours rest. Your own chart's dasha and tara bala can change any single day.

A remedy, as tradition

Saturn's passage is the month's slowest influence for you. On Saturdays, many families light a sesame-oil lamp, recite the Hanuman Chalisa or Shani stotra, and give food or warm clothes to someone who works with their hands. Tradition values the steadiness more than the scale. Remedies are a devotional tradition: optional, free, and never a substitute for practical help.

Looking ahead

Rahu and Ketu change signs on 5 Dec (Rahu to your 12th, Ketu to your 6th), Saturn turns direct in your 2nd house on 11 Dec, Jupiter turns retrograde in your 7th house on 13 Dec and Mars turns retrograde in your 7th house on 10 Jan. Read the full year in the Aquarius horoscope 2027.
