The year ahead
In 2026, tradition reads Jupiter (the planet of expansion and wisdom) travels through your 3rd house of effort, courage and short journeys until 1 Jun, then moves to your 4th house of home, mother and peace of mind until 31 Oct, and finally enters your 5th house of children, study and creativity for the rest of the year. Saturn (the planet of discipline and limits) stays in your 12th house of expense, rest and far‑off places all year, marking the first phase of Sade Sati, a seven‑and‑a‑half‑year period that asks for patience and simplification. Rahu (a point where the Moon’s path crosses the Sun’s) sits in your 11th house of gains and friends until 6 Dec, then shifts to your 10th house of work and standing. Ketu (the opposite point to Rahu) remains in your 5th house until 6 Dec and then moves to your 4th house. Jupiter is retrograde (a spell when it appears to move backwards, a time for review) until 11 Mar and again from 13 Dec, while Saturn is retrograde from 26 Jul to 11 Dec, a period for reassessing structures.
For example, you might pause a big travel plan before 11 Mar to review details, then feel more confidence after Jupiter turns direct.

Growth · Jupiter
Jupiter’s stay in your 3rd house until 1 Jun is not a favourable position, meaning growth will need extra patience in daily tasks, communication and short trips. When it moves to your 4th house from 1 Jun to 31 Oct, it is still not a favourable position, so home matters and emotional peace may require careful handling. From 31 Oct onward, Jupiter sits in your 5th house, a favourable position, supporting learning, creative projects and help from elders or family. A favourable position is a house where tradition reads the planet’s passage as helpful, while an unfavourable one asks you to work harder for results.
For example, after 31 Oct you could start a new art class, trusting that Jupiter’s support will make learning smoother.

Tests · Saturn
Saturn remains in your 12th house all year, a house of expenses, rest and far‑off places, and this is the first phase of Sade Sati. Sade Sati is the seven‑and‑a‑half‑year stretch when Saturn moves through the sign before your Moon sign, your Moon sign, and the sign after it, traditionally calling for patience, discipline and simplifying life. In this unfavourable position, Saturn asks you to tighten budgets, avoid unnecessary luxuries, and focus on inner calm. Retrograde Saturn from 26 Jul to 11 Dec adds a layer of review, suggesting you reassess long‑term plans and let go of habits that no longer serve you.
For example, after 26 Jul you might revisit your monthly budget and cut back on non‑essential subscriptions.

Rahu and Ketu
Rahu in your 11th house until 6 Dec is a favourable position, meaning unusual openings, new ambitions and gains from friends are supported. When Rahu moves to your 10th house after 6 Dec, it is not a favourable position, so restlessness and confusion at work may arise; tradition advises you to double‑check before trusting new opportunities. Ketu, the opposite point to Rahu, sits in your 5th house until 6 Dec, a not‑favourable position, indicating possible uncertainty or sudden loss of interest in studies or creative pursuits. After 6 Dec Ketu shifts to your 4th house, also not favourable, suggesting similar uncertainty in home matters. These placements encourage you to stay grounded, verify information and avoid hasty decisions during the less favourable phases.
For example, after 6 Dec you might pause before signing a new job contract, ensuring all details are clear.
