Where the planets are

Positions on Mon 9 Nov at 06:00 UTC+5:30, with any change during the week.

Graha Sign Degree Nakshatra (pada) Motion This week
Sun Libra (Tula) 22.4° Vishakha (1) — —
Moon Libra (Tula) 19.3° Swati (4) — see the day-by-day table
Mars Cancer (Karka) 28.3° Ashlesha (4) direct enters Leo Thu 12 Nov
Mercury Libra (Tula) 12.9° Swati (2) retrograde turns direct Fri 13 Nov; combust (within 12° of the Sun) Mon 9 Nov – Tue 10 Nov
Jupiter Leo (Simha) 1.0° Magha (1) direct —
Venus Virgo (Kanya) 29.1° Chitra (2) retrograde turns direct Sat 14 Nov
Saturn Pisces (Meena) 14.6° Uttara Bhadrapada (4) retrograde —
Rahu Aquarius (Kumbha) 1.4° Dhanishta (3) retrograde (mean node) —
Ketu Leo (Simha) 1.4° 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)

Mars moves from your 4th house into your 5th on Thu 12 Nov, bringing energy and drive to children, creativity, intelligence and merit. The 5th is not among Mars's favourable transit houses in Phaladeepika, so the classical counsel is to go steadily in these matters rather than to force them. Mercury turns direct in your 7th house on Fri 13 Nov, and what has been under review in marriage, partners and contracts can begin to move forward again. Venus turns direct in your 6th house on Sat 14 Nov, and what has been under review in work, service, health habits, debts and rivals can begin to move forward again. The new Moon on Mon 9 Nov falls in your 7th house, a quiet starting point for marriage, partners and contracts.

The Sun is in your 7th house, bringing the Sun's visibility to marriage, partners and contracts. Classically this house is not one that the Sun favours in transit; patience with partnerships serves better than pressure. The Sun is debilitated (neecha) in Libra, 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. Jupiter is in your 5th, a favourable house for it by tradition. 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 7th (until Tue 10 Nov, 02:48) and your 10th (from Sun 15 Nov, 03:11 to the end of the week). It crosses your 8th from Tue 10 Nov, 02:48 to Thu 12 Nov, 14:19, the window almanac practice calls chandrashtama; tradition advises keeping important new starts for other days.

Taurus (Vrishabha)

Mars moves from your 3rd house into your 4th on Thu 12 Nov, bringing energy and drive to home, mother, property and inner peace. Tradition does not list the 4th from the Moon among Mars's helpful positions; read it as a call for patience and care, not as a warning. Mercury turns direct in your 6th house on Fri 13 Nov, and what has been under review in work, service, health habits, debts and rivals can begin to move forward again. Venus turns direct in your 5th house on Sat 14 Nov, and what has been under review in children, creativity, intelligence and merit can begin to move forward again. The new Moon on Mon 9 Nov falls in your 6th house, a quiet starting point for work, service, health habits, debts and rivals.

The Sun is in your 6th house, bringing the Sun's visibility to work, service, health habits, debts and rivals. Tradition counts this a favourable position. The Sun is debilitated (neecha) in Libra, 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. Jupiter is in your 4th, where tradition expects less of its help — guidance comes, but it may need to be sought out. Rahu (10th) and Ketu (4th) hold their axis between career on one side and home life on the other.

Gemini (Mithuna)

Mars moves from your 2nd house into your 3rd on Thu 12 Nov, bringing energy and drive to courage, siblings, skills and communication.

In the background, Saturn moves slowly through your 10th house, asking for patience with career, status and action in the world. Jupiter is in your 3rd, where tradition expects less of its help — guidance comes, but it may need to be sought out. Rahu (9th) and Ketu (3rd) hold their axis between study, faith and travel plans on one side and effort and communication on the other.

Moon days. The Moon passes through traditionally favourable houses for you in your 6th (from Tue 10 Nov, 02:48 to Thu 12 Nov, 14:19) and your 7th (from Thu 12 Nov, 14:19 to Sun 15 Nov, 03:11). It crosses your 8th from Sun 15 Nov, 03:11 to the end of the week, the window almanac practice calls chandrashtama; tradition advises keeping important new starts for other days.

Cancer (Karka)

Mars moves from your 1st house into your 2nd on Thu 12 Nov, bringing energy and drive to wealth, family, food and speech.

Rahu (7th) and Ketu (1st) hold their axis between partnerships on one side and personal matters on the other.

Mars moves from your 11th house into your 12th on Thu 12 Nov, bringing energy and drive to expenditure, retreat, foreign lands and liberation.

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.
