Overview
All month Jupiter holds Leo, which is your 12th house counted from your Moon. 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 12th leans toward giving and spending: travel, charity, rest and spiritual practice are supported more than accumulation. From Leo it also looks at your 4th, your 6th and your 8th houses (home life; work and health routines; joint money and private matters).
Saturn is in Pisces, your 7th house, retrograde until it turns direct on 11 Dec. Saturn in the 7th asks for maturity in partnership: commitments are tested, travel increases and patience with a spouse or partner is the remedy. Your Moon sign is free of Sade Sati and dhaiya this month.
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 6th house and Ketu in your 12th; from then on Rahu works from your 5th and Ketu from your 11th, where they stay for about eighteen months (the 2026–2028 node transit). 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.
Love and marriage
Venus, the planet of love, begins the month in Libra (your 2nd house). Venus in the 2nd favours money, good food and family harmony.
Your 7th house of marriage holds Saturn mid-month. What Saturn brings there is described above; for love, it is the house to handle with the most care and warmth this month. Your 5th house of romance holds Rahu.
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 Dec it moves into Sagittarius, your 4th: the Sun in the 4th can disturb domestic peace; keep home routines calm. Mercury enters Scorpio, your 3rd, on 2 Dec. Mercury enters Sagittarius, your 4th, on 22 Dec.
Ketu 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 12th house: Mars in the 12th raises expenses and tiredness; rest well and avoid needless travel. The Moon passes through your 8th house (chandrashtama) on 20–21 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: 7–9 Dec, 15–16 Dec and 24–27 Dec. Careful days (chandrashtama): 20–21 Dec. Quieter days: 1–2 Dec and 28–29 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 12th house on 10 Jan, Jupiter moves into Cancer (your 11th) on 25 Jan and a annular eclipse falls in your 5th on 6 Feb. Read the full year in the Virgo horoscope 2027.
