Overview

Jupiter entered Leo, your 11th house from the Moon, on 31 Oct, just before the month began, and spends all of it there. Jupiter in the 11th is its strongest position for gains: income, recognition, friends and long-held wishes all tend to move forward. From Leo it also looks at your 3rd, your 5th and your 7th houses (effort and messages; romance and children; partnership).

Saturn is in Pisces, your 6th house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 6th is a strong, helpful transit: you outwork rivals, clear debts and keep health routines going. Neither Sade Sati nor a dhaiya period applies to your sign right now.

Rahu is in your 5th house and Ketu in your 11th. Rahu in the 5th brings unusual ideas and a pull toward speculation; protect savings and keep study steady. Ketu in the 11th is a good position: gains arrive quietly, often through old contacts. 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 4th house and Ketu to your 10th, where they stay for about eighteen months.

Between 12 Nov and 16 Nov Mars, Jupiter and Ketu come together in Leo, your 11th from your Moon. Expect income and friendships to take more of your attention.

Love and marriage

Venus, the planet of love, begins the month retrograde in Libra (your 1st house), slips back into Virgo — debilitated (its weakest sign), your 12th — on 6 Nov, turns direct on 14 Nov and moves into Libra — in its own sign, your 1st — on 22 Nov. Venus in the 12th favours comforts and money coming in for pleasures. After the direct station, a relationship question that went round in circles can settle; give it a few days before deciding.

No planet sits in your 7th house of marriage this month, so partnership follows the planets that look at it. Jupiter's aspect falls on that 7th house — a traditional blessing on marriage talks and on making peace. Your 5th house of romance holds Rahu.

Career and money

The Sun starts the month in your 1st house — the Sun on the Moon sign brings fatigue and a short temper; rest and plain food help. On 16 Nov it moves into Scorpio, your 2nd: the Sun in the 2nd asks for care with money and with how you speak to family. Mercury turns direct in your 1st 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.

Mars, Jupiter and Ketu sit in your 11th house (income and gains), so what the overview says about them applies directly to income and gains. From 12 Nov, Mars works from your 11th house: Mars in the 11th is gainful: property, income and help from friends. Astrology can help with timing; decisions about money still need numbers and sound advice.

Health and energy

Mars, the planet of energy, starts the month in Cancer (debilitated), your 10th house: Mars in the 10th puts energy into work; decisive action is noticed, quarrels with seniors are not. From 12 Nov it moves to Leo, your 11th: Mars in the 11th is gainful: property, income and help from friends. Saturn in the 6th helps you keep a health routine once you start one. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 24–25 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 12th
8 Nov Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) Moon in Libra, your 1st
10 Nov Govardhan Puja Moon in Scorpio, your 2nd
11 Nov Bhai Dooj Moon in Scorpio, your 2nd

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 1st house). Traditionally, what you begin in the light of the new Moon grows with the waxing Moon — for you, plans for personal matters are a natural place to start. Dhanteras buying is a custom, not an astrological necessity; buy only what you planned to.

Best and careful dates in November 2026

Best days: 1–4 Nov, 13–14 Nov, 20–21 Nov and 28–30 Nov. Careful days (chandrashtama): 24–25 Nov. Quieter days: 5–7 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

Rahu's position is the restless note in your month. For Rahu, tradition recommends the Durga Chalisa or a few minutes of the Durga mantra, honesty in paperwork, and help given to the sick or the outcast. 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 4th, Ketu to your 10th), Saturn turns direct in your 6th house on 11 Dec, Jupiter turns retrograde in your 11th house on 13 Dec and Mars turns retrograde in your 11th house on 10 Jan. Read the full year in the Libra horoscope 2027.
