In short: For the week of 21–27 December 2026, Mercury moves into Sagittarius (Dhanu) on Tue 22 Dec, 07:40 UTC+5:30, the full moon falls in Gemini (Moon in Ardra) on Thu 24 Dec, 06:58 UTC+5:30 and Jupiter is retrograde all week.

The sky this week

The Moon changes sign 4 times this week, as it does every two to two and a half days; its passage through the houses counted from your Moon sign is given in each reading below.

Where the planets are

Positions on Mon 21 Dec at 06:00 UTC+5:30, with any change during the week.

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.

The Moon day by day

Aries (Mesha)

Mercury moves from your 8th house into your 9th on Tue 22 Dec, bringing thinking and talk to fortune, faith, teachers and long journeys. Tradition does not list the 9th from the Moon among Mercury's helpful positions; read it as a call for patience and care, not as a warning. The full Moon on Thu 24 Dec lights up your 3rd house — courage, siblings, skills and communication — with the Sun opposite in your 9th.

The Sun is in your 9th house, bringing the Sun's visibility to fortune, faith, teachers and long journeys. It is not among the favourable transit houses for the Sun in Phaladeepika, so take study, faith and travel plans at an even pace. Mars is in your 5th house, bringing Mars's drive to children, creativity, intelligence and merit. Classically this house is not one that Mars favours in transit; patience with creative and family plans serves better than pressure. Venus is in your 7th house, bringing Venus's warmth to marriage, partners and contracts. Classically this house is not one that Venus favours in transit; patience with partnerships serves better than pressure. 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 (10th) and Ketu (4th) hold their axis between career on one side and home life on the other.

Moon days. The Moon passes through traditionally favourable houses for you in your 1st (until Mon 21 Dec, 18:36) and your 3rd (from Wed 23 Dec, 18:26 to Fri 25 Dec, 17:33). It is in your own Moon sign until Mon 21 Dec, 18:36 — a time when feelings run closer to the surface.

Taurus (Vrishabha)

Mercury moves from your 7th house into your 8th on Tue 22 Dec, bringing thinking and talk to transformation, shared resources and the hidden. Phaladeepika counts the 8th from the Moon among Mercury's favourable transit houses, so tradition reads this as a supportive change. The full Moon on Thu 24 Dec 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. Classically this house is not one that the Sun favours in transit; patience with joint finances and private matters serves better than pressure. 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. Venus is in your 6th house, bringing Venus's warmth to work, service, health habits, debts and rivals. Classically this house is not one that Venus favours in transit; patience with work and health habits serves better than pressure. Venus is in its own sign in Libra, comfortable and strong.

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 (9th) and Ketu (3rd) hold their axis between study, faith and travel plans on one side and effort and communication on the other.

Gemini (Mithuna)

Mercury moves from your 6th house into your 7th on Tue 22 Dec, bringing thinking and talk to marriage, partners and contracts.

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.
