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.

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

From around June, Jupiter moves to your first house, shifting the emphasis to your body, mood and how you come across.

From around November, Jupiter moves to your second house, shifting the emphasis to money, family and what you say.

Saturn begins the year in your ninth house — a demanding placement for luck, father, teachers and long journeys.

Rahu begins the year in your eighth house — a demanding placement for sudden change, shared money and things kept private.

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

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.
