The sky this week

The Moon changes sign 2 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 4 Jan 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 9th house into your 10th on Sun 10 Jan, bringing thinking and talk to career, status and action in the world. This is one of the houses from the Moon where tradition (Phaladeepika ch. 26) expects Mercury to help. Mars turns retrograde in your 5th house on Sun 10 Jan: matters of children, creativity, intelligence and merit are likely to come up for review — a good time to revisit and correct rather than to start afresh. The new Moon on Fri 8 Jan falls in your 9th house, a quiet starting point for fortune, faith, teachers and long journeys.

The Sun is in your 9th house, bringing the Sun's visibility to fortune, faith, teachers and long journeys. Classically this house is not one that the Sun favours in transit; patience with study, faith and travel plans serves better than pressure. Venus is in your 8th house, bringing Venus's warmth to transformation, shared resources and the hidden. By the classical transit rules this is a helpful placement.

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 10th (from Fri 8 Jan, 15:59 to the end of the week). It crosses your 8th until Wed 6 Jan, 03:07, the window almanac practice calls chandrashtama; tradition advises keeping important new starts for other days.

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.
