Progress may feel slow this month, but every step counts. Jupiter in your 10th house can bring work pressure or a change of role; stay patient. Saturn in your 5th house can bring worry about children and mistakes in judgement. A major shift comes on 5 December when Rahu enters Capricorn (Makara), your 3rd house, a supportive change for you. Look after your health, savings and relationships before chasing new goals. Remember that difficult transits pass, and every month brings new chances.

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 Scorpio 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.
