Read from your Moon sign, which is what “your sign” means in Indian practice. If you know only your Western sun sign, generate a kundli once to find your rashi — they differ for most people.

Aries Mesha

Mixed

Jupiter begins the year in your third house — a demanding placement for initiative, siblings and short journeys.

From around June, Jupiter moves to your fourth house, shifting the emphasis to home, mother and peace of mind.

From around November, Jupiter moves to your fifth house, shifting the emphasis to children, study, romance and creative work.

Saturn begins the year in your twelfth house — a demanding placement for expenditure, travel abroad, sleep and letting go.

Rahu begins the year in your eleventh house — a supportive placement for income, friends and things you have been hoping for.

From around December, Rahu moves to your tenth house, shifting the emphasis to work, standing and what others expect of you.

This year falls in the rising phase of Sade Sati for your rashi. The seven and a half years of Saturn across the Moon strip away what was not built properly and confirm what was. It is demanding and, in the classical reading, corrective rather than punitive.

How this is calculated

Each graha's sidereal longitude is taken from the ephemeris for 17 September 2026 at 06:00 UT, using the Lahiri ayanamsa.
Its house is counted from the rashi, which is the gochara method of Phaladeepika chapter 26 — not from the Western sun sign.
Favourable houses per graha follow the standard gochara table. The daily reading weights the Moon most heavily, since it changes sign every two and a quarter days; the monthly and yearly readings weight Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu, which is what actually distinguishes one month or year from the next.
Scores are centred so that the average across all twelve rashis is zero. Without that correction Saturn alone — favourable in only three houses of twelve — would make three quarters of all readings negative every day, which would be a fact about the arithmetic rather than about the sky.
Nothing here is randomised or rotated. The same date always produces the same reading, and a different date produces a different one because the positions differ.
