Monday 28 September to Sunday 4 October 2026
Read by Moon sign (janma rasi), not Sun sign. Your Moon sign is the sign the Moon stood in at your birth, the one your nakshatra falls in. Darshanam, the free five-week reading, tells you for certain.
The week of 28 September to 4 October 2026 in brief. The planets: the Sun in Kanya, Mars in Karkataka, Venus in Tula, Mercury in Tula, Jupiter in Karkataka, with Saturn in Meena. The Moon begins in Mesha, entering Vrishabha on Wednesday, Mithuna on Friday, Karkataka on Sunday. Kanya has the most favourable houses from the Moon, five of seven. Simha has one, a week that asks for patience there.
This week is kept at this address as it was published. The current week.
