Overview

Jupiter entered Leo, your 9th house from the Moon, on 31 Oct, just before the month began, and spends all of it there. Jupiter in the 9th is classically a fortunate transit: luck, faith, teachers and long journeys are favoured, and your father's or a mentor's help is near. From Leo it also looks at your 1st, your 3rd and your 5th houses (personal matters; effort and messages; romance and children), and its gaze on your Moon sign itself is traditionally protective.

Saturn is in Pisces, your 4th house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 4th (kantaka Shani, one of the two dhaiya periods) presses on home and inner peace: property matters and the care of elders go slowly but can be settled. A dhaiya lasts about two and a half years; steady habits soften it.

Rahu is in your 3rd house and Ketu in your 9th. Rahu in the 3rd is one of its good positions: bold moves, media, travel and new skills are supported. Ketu in the 9th questions rituals and teachers; a personal faith grows. 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 2nd house and Ketu to your 8th, 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 9th house, so the month feels busiest around luck and learning.

Love and marriage

Venus, the planet of love, begins the month retrograde in Libra (your 11th house), slips back into Virgo — debilitated (its weakest sign), your 10th — on 6 Nov, turns direct on 14 Nov and moves into Libra — in its own sign, your 11th — on 22 Nov. Venus in the 10th can bring friction at work; keep things courteous. 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.

Career and money

The Sun starts the month in your 11th house — the Sun in the 11th brings gains, honour and good health. On 16 Nov it moves into Scorpio, your 12th: the Sun in the 12th raises expenses and lowers energy; plan rest. Mercury turns direct in your 11th 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. 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 8th house: Mars in the 8th asks for care with injuries, fevers and risky money moves. From 12 Nov it moves to Leo, your 9th: Mars in the 9th tests patience with elders and teachers; plan journeys well. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 1–2 Nov and 28–29 Nov: tradition advises rest, no risky travel and no big decisions on those days. These are tendencies, not diagnoses; for any health concern, see a doctor.

Festivals this month

Date Festival The Moon for you
6 Nov Dhanteras Moon in Virgo, your 10th
8 Nov Diwali (Lakshmi Puja) Moon in Libra, your 11th
10 Nov Govardhan Puja Moon in Scorpio, your 12th
11 Nov Bhai Dooj Moon in Scorpio, your 12th

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 11th house). For your sign the festival's new Moon falls among income, gains, friends and hopes: 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: 5–9 Nov, 18–19 Nov and 24–25 Nov. Careful days (chandrashtama): 1–2 Nov and 28–29 Nov. Quieter days: 10–12 Nov.

The rule behind the list: when the day's Moon (taken at noon UTC+5:30) stands 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th from your Moon sign, tradition counts it helpful for work and results; in the 8th (chandrashtama) it advises caution; in the 12th, rest. A personal muhurta from your own chart is always more exact.

A remedy, as tradition

Saturn's passage is the month's slowest influence for you. The classical counsel for Shani is service: on Saturdays help an elderly person, feed a labourer or offer mustard oil at a temple, and keep promises small and exact. 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 2nd, Ketu to your 8th), Saturn turns direct in your 4th house on 11 Dec, Jupiter turns retrograde in your 9th house on 13 Dec and Mars turns retrograde in your 9th house on 10 Jan. Read the full year in the Sagittarius horoscope 2027.
