Your month, by Moon sign, birth star and ascendant
October 2026's transits read for your Moon sign, your birth star (nakshatra) and your ascendant — 324 combinations, each told as a story with the classical reasons shown. Sidereal, computed to the minute.
Most horoscopes read one thing — your Sun or Moon sign. These read three together: the houses each planet crosses from your ascendant, the classical result of each transit from your Moon sign, and the tārā of each planet's star from your birth star — with every turn toward relief or caution dated to the minute.

How this is worked out
Positions are sidereal (Lahiri), with the mean node for Rāhu and Ketu, computed for India (IST); every date and time is to the minute. Houses are whole-sign, counted from the ascendant and from the Moon sign. What each transit brings from the Moon follows Mantreśvara's Phaladīpikā, chapter 26 (which reads transits from the Moon first), cross-checked with Varāhamihira's Bṛhat Saṃhitā, chapter 104; from the ascendant, the house and what it governs are given. The tārā of each planet's star is counted from the birth star. Dignities and combustion orbs are the classical tables (combustion: Sūrya Siddhānta). A yoga named here is the classical condition met by the transiting planets; the double transit is Jupiter and Saturn both reaching a house. A forecast for reflection — never a prediction of health, money or lifespan.
