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)
The full Moon on Tue 24 Nov lights up your 2nd house — wealth, family, food and speech — with the Sun opposite in your 8th.
The Sun is in your 8th house, bringing the Sun's visibility to transformation, shared resources and the hidden. It is not among the favourable transit houses for the Sun in Phaladeepika, so take joint finances and private matters at an even pace. Mars is in your 5th house, bringing Mars's drive to children, creativity, intelligence and merit. It is not among the favourable transit houses for Mars in Phaladeepika, so take creative and family plans at an even pace. Mercury and Venus are in your 7th house, bringing Mercury's thinking and talk and Venus's warmth to marriage, partners and contracts. It is not among the favourable transit houses for Mercury and Venus in Phaladeepika, so take partnerships at an even pace. Venus is in its own sign in Libra, comfortable and strong.
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 1st (until Tue 24 Nov, 07:25) and your 3rd (from Thu 26 Nov, 07:11 to Sat 28 Nov, 07:22). It is in your own Moon sign until Tue 24 Nov, 07:25 — a time when feelings run closer to the surface.

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.
