This is a month to protect your energy and move carefully. Jupiter in your 12th house can raise expenses but supports spiritual growth and travel abroad. Saturn in your 7th house can strain marriage and partnerships and bring tiring travel. A major shift comes on 5 December when Rahu enters Capricorn (Makara), your 5th house, a placement that asks for care. Avoid confrontations and keep a low profile in disputes. Hold steady; the pressure eases as the planets move on.

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 Virgo 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.
