From the Moon in Aries
The classical view of transits (gochara) is counted from the Moon sign.
Sade Sati — rising phase — the first 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 6th from your Moon, until 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically supportive. Troubles ease, rivals are defeated, and the mind settles. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11) Then Libra, the 7th from your Moon, from 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically testing. Travel, low spirits and a dip in how others see you — keep a steady, modest course. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11)
- Mars — Cancer, the 4th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Unsettled footing at home or work, and strain with relatives — keep calm. (Phaladīpikā 26.13-16)
- Mercury — Libra, the 7th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Opposition and disputes — avoid needless arguments. (Phaladīpikā 26.17)
- Jupiter — Cancer, the 4th from your Moon, until 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically testing. Strain through relatives and low spirits — keep close to what comforts you. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20) Then Leo, the 5th from your Moon, from 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically supportive. Joy from children, good company and favour from those in authority. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20)
- Venus — Libra, the 7th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Strain in close relationships — kindness and patience. (Phaladīpikā 26.21)
- Saturn — Pisces, the 12th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Toil without quick reward — protect what you have and care for your family. (Phaladīpikā 26.22-23)

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.
