From the Moon in Libra
The classical view of transits (gochara) is counted from the Moon sign.
- Sun — Virgo, the 12th from your Moon, until 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically testing. Strain and friends cooling — be careful with spending and keep a low profile. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11) Then Libra, the 1st from your Moon, from 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically testing. Effort, much moving about and a short temper — pace yourself and look after your energy. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11)
- Mars — Cancer, the 10th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Obstacles at work and effort that doesn't yet pay off — stay principled. (Phaladīpikā 26.13-16)
- Mercury — Libra, the 1st from your Moon, all month — classically testing. A time to be careful with spending. (Phaladīpikā 26.17)
- Jupiter — Cancer, the 10th from your Moon, until 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically testing. Pressure at work and on your position — steady effort carries you through. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20) Then Leo, the 11th from your Moon, from 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically supportive. A better position and rising honour. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20)
- Venus — Libra, the 1st from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Enjoyment and pleasures of every kind. (Phaladīpikā 26.21)
- Saturn — Pisces, the 6th from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. All-round happiness and victory over rivals. (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.
