From the Moon in Sagittarius
The classical view of transits (gochara) is counted from the Moon sign.
Kaṇṭaka Śani (4th from the Moon) — a classically demanding seat for Saturn from the Moon: a time for patience, steady work and keeping commitments light.
- Sun — Virgo, the 10th from your Moon, until 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically supportive. Success in what you undertake — a major piece of work reaches completion. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11) Then Libra, the 11th from your Moon, from 17 Oct, 7:51 pm IST — classically supportive. A new position, rising honour and a sense of well-being. (Phaladīpikā 26.9-11)
- Mars — Cancer, the 8th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. A demanding passage — take care with risk and haste, and guard your good name. (Phaladīpikā 26.13-16)
- Mercury — Libra, the 11th from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Thriving and growth. (Phaladīpikā 26.17)
- Jupiter — Cancer, the 8th from your Moon, until 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically testing. A demanding passage — avoid needless travel and keep commitments light. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20) Then Leo, the 9th from your Moon, from 31 Oct, 12:02 pm IST — classically supportive. All-round good fortune and success. (Phaladīpikā 26.18-20) 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).
- Venus — Libra, the 11th from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Security and freedom from fear. (Phaladīpikā 26.21)
- Saturn — Pisces, the 4th from your Moon, all month — classically testing. Strain with partner and relatives — be patient at home. (Phaladīpikā 26.22-23)
- Rahu — Aquarius, the 3rd from your Moon, all month — classically supportive. Happiness. (Phaladīpikā 26.24)
- Ketu — Leo, the 9th 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.
