General Predictions for November 2026
The defining picture of the month is Simha holding three planets from 12 November: Jupiter, Mars and Ketu. Jupiter with Mars forms the classical Guru–Mangal combination — energy joined to judgement — while Ketu in the same sign adds detachment and sudden turns. Whichever house Simha occupies in your chart is the area of life that becomes busy this month.
Career and Finance
Mercury's retrograde until 13 November favours finishing, revising and renegotiating rather than signing fresh contracts; from the 14th, decisions that were stuck tend to move. Mars leaving its debilitation in Karka on 12 November usually brings back drive and confidence in work matters. With Venus retrograde and weak in Kanya for most of the month, avoid large purchases of luxury items or vehicles on impulse — the Diwali shopping window is better used for planned buying.
Relationships and Marriage
Venus, the significator of marriage, is retrograde until about 14 November and in Kanya until about 22 November. This is a time to repair and clarify relationships rather than to begin them; old connections often return. Marriage muhurats traditionally resume after Dev Uthani Ekadashi (20 November), once Venus is direct.
Health and Wellness
Mars and Ketu together in Simha call for care with heat, blood pressure, the heart and the eyes, and with haste while driving. The Sun in Vrishchika from 16 November brings attention to digestion and to the lower body. These are general indications only, not medical advice.
November 2026 by Moon Sign (Rashi)
Read from your Moon sign: the house Jupiter occupies from it this month (Mars joins Jupiter there from 12 November).
| Rashi | Jupiter & Mars in house | Area that activates |
|---|---|---|
| Mesha | 5th | Children, studies, creativity, investments — a favourable Jupiter |
| Vrishabha | 4th | Home, property, vehicles, mother |
| Mithuna | 3rd | Effort, siblings, short travel, communication |
| Karka | 2nd | Family, savings, speech — a favourable Jupiter |
| Simha | 1st | Self, health, new direction; manage temper and haste |
| Kanya | 12th | Expenses, travel abroad, spiritual practice |
| Tula | 11th | Gains, income, friends, fulfilment of wishes — a favourable Jupiter |
| Vrishchika | 10th | Career, status, responsibilities |
| Dhanu | 9th | Fortune, father, teachers, pilgrimage — a favourable Jupiter |
| Makara | 8th | Research, hidden matters, in-laws; go carefully with health and money |
| Kumbha | 7th | Marriage, partnership, business deals — a favourable Jupiter |
| Meena | 6th | Work routine, competition, loans, health habits |
The full effect depends on your ascendant and running dasha; this table is the general Moon-sign picture.
