The slow planets set the tone of a period. For a Moon in Leo (Simha), as of 15 November 2026: Saturn is in your 8th, Jupiter in your 1st, Rahu in your 7th and Ketu in your 1st. Below, every change over the next two years with its classical reading.
| Saturn | Pisces (Meen), 8th house, retrograde; Ashtama Shani |
| Jupiter | Leo (Simha), 1st house |
| Rahu | Aquarius (Kumbh), 7th house |
| Ketu | Leo (Simha), 1st house |
Saturn in your 8th house: Saturn in the 8th from the Moon, Ashtama Shani, is the second part of the Dhaiya and is treated with the most caution. Texts describe obstacles, chronic health matters, loss of reputation and sudden reversals. A careful, low-risk approach and attention to health are the traditional response.
Saturn in your 9th house: Classical gochara reads Saturn in the 9th from the Moon as a dampening of fortune: efforts take longer to bear fruit, and there can be friction with the father, teachers or one's own beliefs. Long-distance plans tend to meet delays. It is the house that obstructs Saturn's good 6th-house transit.
| Saturn: 29 Mar 2025 to 3 Jun 2027 | Pisces (Meen), 8th house |
| Saturn: 3 Jun 2027 to 20 Oct 2027 | Aries (Mesh), 9th house |
| Saturn: 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 | Pisces (Meen), 8th house (entered retrograde) |
| Saturn: 23 Feb 2028 to 8 Aug 2029 | Aries (Mesh), 9th house |
Jupiter in your Moon sign itself (the 1st house): Classical gochara does not count Jupiter in the 1st from the Moon among its good houses: texts mention restlessness, a change of place and money going out. Many people still feel wiser and more optimistic in this period. It suits learning and reflection more than big gambles.
Jupiter in your 12th house: Jupiter in the 12th from the Moon is not favourable in the classics: expenses, travel, distance from home and some losses are mentioned. It is a natural time for charity, retreats and spiritual practice. It also obstructs Jupiter's good 2nd-house transit.
Jupiter in your 2nd house: Jupiter in the 2nd from the Moon is favourable in the classics, read as growth in savings, harmony in the family and persuasive speech. Food, comfort and family gatherings tend to go well. The good result is obstructed (vedha) if another planet transits the 12th from the Moon.
| Jupiter: 31 Oct 2026 to 25 Jan 2027 | Leo (Simha), 1st house |
| Jupiter: 25 Jan 2027 to 26 Jun 2027 | Cancer (Kark), 12th house (entered retrograde) |
| Jupiter: 26 Jun 2027 to 26 Nov 2027 | Leo (Simha), 1st house |
| Jupiter: 26 Nov 2027 to 28 Feb 2028 | Virgo (Kanya), 2nd house |
| Jupiter: 28 Feb 2028 to 24 Jul 2028 | Leo (Simha), 1st house (entered retrograde) |
| Jupiter: 24 Jul 2028 to 26 Dec 2028 | Virgo (Kanya), 2nd house |
Rahu briefly in your 7th house: Partnerships under strain: misunderstandings, and caution in deals.
Rahu in your 6th house: The 6th is a favourable house for Rahu: victory over rivals, success in competition and litigation, and recovery from lingering ailments. Vedha (obstruction) comes from a planet in the 9th from the Moon.
Rahu in your 5th house: Rahu in the 5th from the Moon is associated with worry over children, distracted studies and a pull towards speculation that tradition advises against. Unusual subjects can still be learnt well.
Ketu briefly in your Moon sign itself (the 1st house): Ketu over the Moon: detachment, introspection and health care.
Ketu in your 12th house: Ketu in the 12th from the Moon turns attention inward: spiritual retreats, pilgrimage and charity, with expenses and sleep needing care. Tradition sees it as a natural phase for letting go.
Ketu in your 11th house: The 11th is a favourable house for Ketu: gains, fulfilment of desires and help from elder siblings or friends. Vedha (obstruction) comes from a planet in the 5th from the Moon.
| Rahu: 18 May 2025 to 5 Dec 2026 | Aquarius (Kumbh), 7th house |
| Rahu: 5 Dec 2026 to 24 Jun 2028 | Capricorn (Makar), 6th house |
| Rahu: 24 Jun 2028 to 11 Jan 2030 | Sagittarius (Dhanu), 5th house |
| Ketu: 18 May 2025 to 5 Dec 2026 | Leo (Simha), 1st house |
| Ketu: 5 Dec 2026 to 24 Jun 2028 | Cancer (Kark), 12th house |
| Ketu: 24 Jun 2028 to 11 Jan 2030 | Gemini (Mithun), 11th house |
