Simha (Leo) Horoscope 2026

For Simha (Leo) Moon sign, 2026 is traditionally a year that asks for patience and steady effort, with the slow planets mostly in testing houses. Jupiter spends most of the year in your 11th house, Saturn in your 8th, and the Rahu–Ketu axis falls across your 7th and 1st houses.

Ashtama Shani: Saturn transits your 8th house from the Moon during part of 2026.

Jupiter (Guru) in 2026

Until 1 June (Mon): Jupiter in Mithuna (Gemini) — your 11th house (favourable). Jupiter in the 11th house from the Moon is excellent: gains, fulfilment of wishes, support from friends and elder siblings, and rising income are traditional results. Networking, new projects and long-term goals do well now.

From 2 June (Tue) to 30 October (Fri): Jupiter in Karka (Cancer) — your 12th house. Jupiter in the 12th house is traditionally a time of expenses — often on good causes such as family, travel, education or pilgrimage. Sleep and rest need attention, and money should be spent with planning. Spiritual practice, charity and foreign connections are favoured.

From 31 October (Sat): Jupiter in Simha (Leo) — your 1st house. Jupiter over your Moon sign (janma Guru) is traditionally a mixed position: it brings attention to yourself, your health and your direction in life, but the classical texts warn of restlessness, expenses and changes of place. Use the period to reflect and plan rather than to take big risks; keep a simple routine for health.

Saturn (Shani) in 2026

All year: Saturn in Meena (Pisces) — your 8th house. Saturn in the 8th house is Ashtama Shani, traditionally a testing time: obstacles, delays and health concerns can arise. Avoid risky ventures and long-distance driving when tired, keep your health checks up to date and turn to prayer and service.

Rahu in 2026

Until 4 December (Fri): Rahu in Kumbha (Aquarius) — your 7th house. Rahu in the 7th house can bring misunderstandings with your spouse or partners and attract unusual partnerships. Be clear and honest in agreements.

From 5 December (Sat): Rahu in Makara (Capricorn) — your 6th house (favourable). Rahu in the 6th house is favourable: you defeat rivals, clear debts and handle disputes well. Work in competitive fields, health care or law can prosper.

Ketu in 2026

Until 4 December (Fri): Ketu in Simha (Leo) — your 1st house. Ketu over the Moon sign can bring detachment, low energy or a feeling of being misunderstood, but also spiritual insight. Keep a simple routine and look after your health.

From 5 December (Sat): Ketu in Karka (Cancer) — your 12th house. Ketu in the 12th house is traditionally good for spiritual practice, pilgrimage and charity, though expenses need control.

How this horoscope is calculated

This is a Vedic (sidereal) horoscope based on your Moon sign (rashi), not the Western Sun sign. We calculate the actual positions of Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu through the year using the Lahiri ayanamsa — the same system as the MyPujaWorld panchang — and read each planet's house from your Moon sign using the classical rules of gochar (transit). Rahu and Ketu are the mean lunar nodes.

Transits describe the general weather of the year for everyone born with the Moon in this sign. Your own birth chart — ascendant, dasha periods and planetary strengths — can change the picture a great deal, so treat this as traditional guidance, not a prediction.
