Monday 19 October to Sunday 25 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 19 to 25 October 2026 in brief. The planets: the Sun in Tula, Mars in Karkataka, Venus in Tula, Mercury in Tula, Jupiter in Karkataka, with Saturn in Meena.
