Where the planets are

Positions on Mon 18 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)

The full Moon on Fri 22 Jan lights up your 4th house — home, mother, property and inner peace — with the Sun opposite in your 10th.

The Sun and Mercury are in your 10th house, bringing the Sun's visibility and Mercury's thinking and talk to career, status and action in the world. Tradition counts this a favourable position for all of them. Mercury is combust for part of the week, which tradition reads as a quieter voice. 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. Mars is retrograde, so expect to go back over things before going forward. Venus is in your 8th house, bringing Venus's warmth to transformation, shared resources and the hidden. Tradition counts this a favourable position.

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 3rd (from Wed 20 Jan, 05:38 to Fri 22 Jan, 05:10).

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.
