Jupiter in 2026: growth and opportunity
1 Jan – 2 Jun: Jupiter in Gemini, your 12th house. Jupiter passing through the 12th from your Moon tends to favour reflection, giving and spiritual or educational pursuits, sometimes alongside higher spending. Thoughtful budgeting and generous intentions help you get the most from it.
2 Jun – 31 Oct: Jupiter in Cancer, your 1st house. Jupiter passing over your Moon sign can feel like a time of personal reorientation, when you reassess what growth really means to you. Classically a mixed placement, it rewards modest pacing, sensible routines and a generous outlook.
31 Oct – 1 Jan: Jupiter in Leo, your 2nd house. With Jupiter in the 2nd from your Moon, tradition sees support for finances, family harmony and confident, persuasive speech. It is a favourable spell to build resources and strengthen household bonds.
Saturn in 2026: responsibility and lessons
Saturn in Pisces, your 9th house. Transiting the 9th from your Moon, Saturn can test beliefs and plans for travel or study, inviting a more grounded philosophy. Learning that is pursued patiently now tends to become lasting wisdom.
Saturn is not currently forming Sade Sati from your Moon sign. Its influence this year is described by the house it occupies from your Moon.
Rahu and Ketu in 2026
1 Jan – 5 Dec: Rahu–Ketu in Aquarius / Leo, your 8th house / 2nd. Rahu in the 8th and Ketu in the 2nd can spark interest in research and hidden subjects, along with a simpler attitude to possessions.
5 Dec – 1 Jan: Rahu–Ketu in Capricorn / Cancer, your 7th house / 1st. Rahu in the 7th and Ketu on your Moon sign highlight relationships and agreements, while inviting a quieter, more detached view of yourself.

How this horoscope is made
This is a Moon-sign (rashi) horoscope, the kind used in India, not a Western sun-sign horoscope. It is calculated from the real positions of the planets in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsha), counted as houses from your Moon sign — the classical method of gochara. The Moon’s daily house sets the tone of each day; the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars colour the weeks and months; Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu–Ketu shape the year. Times are India time; the Panchang is New Delhi’s.
