Overview
Jupiter keeps to Leo — your 4th from your Moon sign — through the month. It turns retrograde there on 13 Dec, so its themes slow down and ask for review rather than new starts until it moves forward again. Jupiter in the 4th turns attention home: relatives, a house or vehicle and your peace of mind ask for care, and old family questions surface to be settled kindly. From Leo it also looks at your 8th, your 10th and your 12th houses (joint money and private matters; career; expenses and rest).
Saturn is in Pisces, your 11th house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 11th is classically a gainful transit: income becomes steadier, and old efforts start to pay. There is no Sade Sati or dhaiya for your Moon sign at present.
Rahu and Ketu change signs on 5 Dec by the mean node used on Sunyra (panchangs that use the true node give an earlier date). Until then Rahu is in your 10th house and Ketu in your 4th; from then on Rahu works from your 9th and Ketu from your 3rd, where they stay for about eighteen months (the 2026–2028 node transit). Rahu in the 9th questions old beliefs; foreign links and new teachers appear, but test what you are told. Ketu in the 3rd is a good position: quiet courage and skill without show.
Love and marriage
Venus, the planet of love, begins the month in Libra (your 6th house). Venus in the 6th is not easy: small frictions and indulgence to watch.
Your 7th house of marriage holds the Sun and Mercury mid-month. The Sun in the 7th can strain partnership and stamina; avoid ego clashes. Mercury in the 7th can bring disagreements; spell out terms. The new Moon on 9 Dec falls in your 7th house, a natural point to start afresh together.
Career and money
The Sun starts the month in your 7th house — the Sun in the 7th can strain partnership and stamina; avoid ego clashes. On 16 Dec it moves into Sagittarius, your 8th: the Sun in the 8th calls for rest and care with health and officials. Mercury enters Scorpio, your 7th, on 2 Dec. Mercury enters Sagittarius, your 8th, on 22 Dec.
Saturn sits in your 11th house (income and gains), so what the overview says about it applies directly to income and gains. Treat this as a guide to timing effort, never as a reason for a risky investment.
Health and energy
Mars, the planet of energy, starts the month in Leo, your 4th house: Mars in the 4th stirs home and property matters; avoid quarrels at home and drive carefully. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 10–11 Dec: 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.
Best and careful dates in December 2026
Best days: 5–6 Dec, 15–19 Dec and 26–27 Dec. Careful days (chandrashtama): 10–11 Dec. Quieter days: 20–21 Dec.
These dates come from one classical rule, applied day by day: the Moon at noon UTC+5:30 in the 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th from your sign is helpful, in the 8th (chandrashtama) careful, in the 12th quiet. Use them for timing everyday tasks, not as promises.
A remedy, as tradition
Mars occupies a demanding house for you. On Tuesdays many people visit a Hanuman temple or recite the Mangal stotra; the quieter remedy is to take a breath before replying in anger. Remedies are a devotional tradition: optional, free, and never a substitute for practical help.
Looking ahead
Mars turns retrograde in your 4th house on 10 Jan, Jupiter moves into Cancer (your 3rd) on 25 Jan and a annular eclipse falls in your 9th on 6 Feb. Read the full year in the Taurus horoscope 2027.
