Leo (Simha) Monthly Horoscope: November 2026

In short: Jupiter in your 1st house (a transit that asks for patience), Mars into your 1st on 12 Nov, Mercury direct on 13 Nov (your 3rd) and Venus direct on 14 Nov (your 2nd). Saturn keeps you in a dhaiya (ashtama Shani). Best days: 8–9 Nov, 15–17 Nov and 24–27 Nov.

November 2026 at a glance

Overview

Jupiter entered Leo, your 1st house from the Moon, on 31 Oct, just before the month began, and spends all of it there. Jupiter over your own Moon sign is classically a restless passage: a change of place or role, more expense than usual and a wish to grow that needs a clear aim. From Leo it also looks at your 5th, your 7th and your 9th houses (romance and children; partnership; luck and learning).

Saturn is in Pisces, your 8th house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 8th (ashtama Shani, the other dhaiya period) is a slow, testing passage: guard health, avoid risky debts and finish what is already begun. A dhaiya lasts about two and a half years; steady habits soften it.

Rahu is in your 7th house and Ketu in your 1st. Rahu in the 7th brings unusual partners or terms; read contracts carefully and talk openly with your partner. Ketu over the Moon sign turns you inward; detachment helps, but look after the body. 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 6th house and Ketu to your 12th, where they stay for about eighteen months.

Mid-month Mars, Jupiter and Ketu meet pair by pair in Leo (12 Nov, 15 Nov and 16 Nov). For you that is your 1st house, so the month feels busiest around personal matters.

Love and marriage

Venus, the planet of love, begins the month retrograde in Libra (your 3rd house), slips back into Virgo — debilitated (its weakest sign), your 2nd — on 6 Nov, turns direct on 14 Nov and moves into Libra — in its own sign, your 3rd — on 22 Nov. Venus in the 2nd favours money, good food and family harmony. The direct station is the turning point: old feelings or an old flame may resurface before it, and clarity comes after.

Your 7th house of marriage holds Rahu mid-month. What Rahu brings there is described above; for love, it is the house to handle with the most care and warmth this month. Jupiter's aspect falls on that 7th house — a traditional blessing on marriage talks and on making peace.

Career and money

The Sun starts the month in your 3rd house — the Sun in the 3rd is favourable: confidence, support from authority and good health. On 16 Nov it moves into Scorpio, your 4th: the Sun in the 4th can disturb domestic peace; keep home routines calm. Mercury turns direct in your 3rd 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.

None of the slower planets sits in your 2nd, 10th or 11th houses, so work and money follow the Sun and Mercury above and your own dasha. 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 12th house: Mars in the 12th raises expenses and tiredness; rest well and avoid needless travel. From 12 Nov it moves to Leo, your 1st: Mars on the Moon sign brings heat and haste; channel it into exercise rather than arguments. Saturn in the 8th asks you not to ignore small, lingering complaints. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 20–21 Nov: tradition advises rest, no risky travel and no big decisions on those days. None of this replaces medical advice.

Festivals this month

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 3rd house). Tradition treats the new Moon as a seed; for your sign the seed falls in effort, courage, siblings and messages. Dhanteras buying is a custom, not an astrological necessity; buy only what you planned to.

Best and careful dates in November 2026

Best days: 8–9 Nov, 15–17 Nov and 24–27 Nov. Careful days (chandrashtama): 20–21 Nov. Quieter days: 1–2 Nov and 28–29 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 6th, Ketu to your 12th), Saturn turns direct in your 8th house on 11 Dec, Jupiter turns retrograde in your 1st house on 13 Dec and Mars turns retrograde in your 1st house on 10 Jan. Read the full year in the Leo horoscope 2027.
