How this month’s forecast was worked out
- Positions of all planets were taken for every day of October 2026 (noon IST, sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa) and counted from Gemini 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.
