General Predictions for December 2026
Jupiter in Simha highlights leadership, children and creative work. Mars and Jupiter share Simha: the classical Guru–Mangal combination, energy joined to judgement. On Sat 5 Dec the nodes change sign: Rahu enters Makara and Ketu Karka, a shift that colours the next eighteen months. Station days, when a slow planet is felt most strongly: Saturn turns direct in Meena on Fri 11 Dec; Jupiter turns retrograde in Simha on Sun 13 Dec. Saturn in Meena keeps Sade Sati running for Kumbha, Meena and Mesha Moon signs, and the dhaiya (small panoti) for Simha and Dhanu.
