From the Moon in Aquarius
The classical view of transits (gochara) is counted from the Moon sign.
Sade Sati — setting phase — the last stretch of Saturn's seven-and-a-half-year passage over the Moon: a time for patience, steady work and keeping commitments light.
- Sun — Virgo, the 8th from your Moon, until 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically testing. Worry, quarrels and friction with those in authority — tread carefully. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11) Then Libra, the 9th from your Moon, from 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically testing. Setbacks, low spirits and distance from loved ones; efforts may not land yet. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11)
- Mars — Cancer, the 6th from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Disputes end, victory comes, and work goes your way. (Phaladīpikā 26.13-16) At the month's start another planet stands on its vedha (obstruction) seat, which dampens the support while it stays there (Phaladīpikā 26.3-8).
- Mercury — Libra, the 9th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Obstacles — patience. (Phaladīpikā 26.17) At the month's start a benefic stands on the counter-seat, which classically suspends the strain while both stay there (Phaladīpikā 26.3-8).
- Jupiter — Cancer, the 6th from your Moon, until 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically testing. Friction with rivals and relatives — choose your battles. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20) Then Leo, the 7th from your Moon, from 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically supportive. A good journey and happiness with your partner and family. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20)
- Venus — Libra, the 9th from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Happiness. (Phaladīpikā 26.21)
- Saturn — Pisces, the 2nd from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Strain around family and resources — be prudent. (Phaladīpikā 26.22-23)
- Rahu — Aquarius, the 1st from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Low strength — rest and pace yourself. (Phaladīpikā 26.24)
- Ketu — Leo, the 7th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. (Phaladīpikā 26.2)

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.
