In short: For the week of 26 October – 1 November 2026, Jupiter moves into Leo (Simha) on Sat 31 Oct, 12:09 UTC+5:30, the full moon falls in Aries (Moon in Ashwini) on Mon 26 Oct, 09:41 UTC+5:30, Mercury is retrograde all week, Venus is retrograde all week and Saturn is retrograde all week. Each reading below is counted from your Moon sign — the sidereal sign the Moon occupied when you were born — and uses only these computed positions.

Positions on Mon 26 Oct at 06:00 UTC+5:30, with any change during the week.
| Graha | Sign | Degree | Nakshatra (pada) | Motion | This week |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sun | Libra (Tula) | 8.4° | Swati (1) | — | — |
| Moon | Aries (Mesha) | 6.3° | Ashwini (2) | — | see the day-by-day table |
| Mars | Cancer (Karka) | 21.3° | Ashlesha (2) | direct | — |
| Mercury | Libra (Tula) | 26.5° | Vishakha (2) | retrograde | combust (within 12° of the Sun) Sat 31 Oct – Sun 1 Nov |
| Jupiter | Cancer (Karka) | 29.3° | Ashlesha (4) | direct | enters Leo Sat 31 Oct |
| Venus | Libra (Tula) | 5.4° | Chitra (4) | retrograde | combust (within 8° of the Sun) Mon 26 Oct – Thu 29 Oct |
| Saturn | Pisces (Meena) | 15.4° | Uttara Bhadrapada (4) | retrograde | — |
| Rahu | Aquarius (Kumbha) | 2.2° | Dhanishta (3) | retrograde (mean node) | — |
| Ketu | Leo (Simha) | 2.2° | Magha (1) | retrograde (mean node) | — |
Rahu and Ketu, by their mean motion, always move backwards through the zodiac. In Jyotish a retrograde (vakri) planet is not a bad omen: classical texts treat it as strong in motion (cheshta bala), and its themes tend to be revisited rather than lost.

Aries (Mesha)
Jupiter moves from your 4th house into your 5th on Sat 31 Oct, bringing growth and good counsel to children, creativity, intelligence and merit. Phaladeepika counts the 5th from the Moon among Jupiter's favourable transit houses, so tradition reads this as a supportive change. The full Moon on Mon 26 Oct lights up your 1st house — self, body and vitality — with the Sun opposite in your 7th.
The Sun, Mercury and Venus are in your 7th house, bringing the Sun's visibility, Mercury's thinking and talk and Venus's warmth to marriage, partners and contracts. Classically this house is not one that the Sun, Mercury and Venus favour in transit; patience with partnerships serves better than pressure. Mercury and Venus are retrograde and, for part of the week, combust (close to the Sun) — a cue to review and finish rather than to launch. The Sun is debilitated (neecha) in Libra, which tradition reads as working with less ease. Venus is in its own sign in Libra, comfortable and strong. Mars is in your 4th house, bringing Mars's drive to home, mother, property and inner peace. Classically this house is not one that Mars favours in transit; patience with home life serves better than pressure. Mars is debilitated (neecha) in Cancer, which tradition reads as working with less ease.
Saturn is in your 12th house from the Moon, which is the first (rising) phase of Sade Sati — a long stretch that tradition reads as a time for steadiness, simplicity and patient, lasting work. Rahu (11th) and Ketu (5th) hold their axis between gains and friendships on one side and creative and family plans on the other.
Moon days. The Moon passes through traditionally favourable houses for you in your 1st (until Tue 27 Oct, 21:06) and your 3rd (from Thu 29 Oct, 22:06 to Sun 1 Nov, 00:00). It is in your own Moon sign until Tue 27 Oct, 21:06 — a time when feelings run closer to the surface.

Taurus (Vrishabha)
Jupiter moves from your 3rd house into your 4th on Sat 31 Oct, bringing growth and good counsel to home, mother, property and inner peace. The 4th is not among Jupiter's favourable transit houses in Phaladeepika, so the classical counsel is to go steadily in these matters rather than to force them. The full Moon on Mon 26 Oct lights up your 12th house — expenditure, retreat, foreign lands and liberation — with the Sun opposite in your 6th.
The Sun, Mercury and Venus are in your 6th house, bringing the Sun's visibility, Mercury's thinking and talk and Venus's warmth to work, service, health habits, debts and rivals. Tradition favours the Sun and Mercury here more than Venus. Mercury and Venus are retrograde and, for part of the week, combust (close to the Sun) — a cue to review and finish rather than to launch. The Sun is debilitated (neecha) in Libra, which tradition reads as working with less ease. Venus is in its own sign in Libra, comfortable and strong. Mars is in your 3rd house, bringing Mars's drive to courage, siblings, skills and communication. Tradition counts this a favourable position. Mars is debilitated (neecha) in Cancer, which tradition reads as working with less ease.
Saturn's long transit of your 11th house is one of its traditionally favourable positions, rewarding steady effort in gains, friends, networks and wishes. Rahu (10th) and Ketu (4th) hold their axis between career on one side and home life on the other.

Jupiter moves from your 2nd house into your 3rd on Sat 31 Oct, bringing growth and good counsel to courage, siblings, skills and communication. Tradition does not list the 3rd from the Moon among Jupiter's helpful positions; read it as a call for patience and care, not as a warning.

Mars is debilitated (neecha) in Cancer, which tradition reads as working with less ease.
In the background, Saturn moves slowly through your 10th house, asking for patience with career, status and action in the world. Rahu (9th) and Ketu (3rd) hold their axis between study, faith and travel plans on one side and effort and communication on the other.

Reading this page well
A Moon-sign horoscope places the week's sky on one twelfth of humanity at a time, so it can only speak in broad themes. Your own chart adds what this page cannot: the house each planet rules for your ascendant, your running dasha, and the ashtakavarga strength of each sign. If you do not know your Moon sign, your kundli shows it. For the Western, Sun-sign view of the same week, see the Sun-sign weekly horoscope.
