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.

Aquarius Kumbha

Mixed

Jupiter begins the year in your fifth house — a supportive placement for children, study, romance and creative work.

From around June, Jupiter moves to your sixth house, shifting the emphasis to health, rivals, debt and daily discipline.

From around November, Jupiter moves to your seventh house, shifting the emphasis to marriage, partners and dealings with the public.

Saturn begins the year in your second house — a demanding placement for money, family and what you say.

Rahu begins the year in your first house — a demanding placement for your body, mood and how you come across.

From around December, Rahu moves to your twelfth house, shifting the emphasis to expenditure, travel abroad, sleep and letting go.

This year falls in the setting 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.
