This month asks for patience, care and steady effort. Jupiter in your 8th house can bring obstacles and health concerns; keep a low profile. Saturn in your 3rd house brings courage, victory over rivals and steady gains. A major shift comes on 5 December when Rahu enters Capricorn (Makara), your 1st house, a placement that asks for care. Spiritual practice and remedies can ease the pressure considerably. Brighter months are ahead.

How this month’s forecast was worked out
- Positions of all planets were taken for every day of December 2026 (noon IST, sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa) and counted from Capricorn as the 1st house.
- Each planet's house is judged by the classical Gochara rules (for example Jupiter is favourable in the 2nd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 11th houses, Saturn in the 3rd, 6th and 11th).
- Area ratings weigh the planets that rule that part of life: career - Saturn, Sun and Mars; money - Jupiter, Venus and Mercury; love - Venus, Jupiter and Mars; health - Saturn, Mars, Rahu and the Sun.
- Weekly ratings add the Moon's path through your houses that week; best dates are when the Moon is in your 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th or 11th house, careful dates when it is in your 8th (Chandrashtama) or 12th.
