Leo Rashifal November 2026 (Simha Rashi): Jupiter, Ketu and Mars on Your Own Sign

No other rashi has November arranged the way Simha does. Jupiter and Ketu are both sitting on your sign, in your first house of body, self and temperament, for the entire month — and on 12 November at 8:10 pm IST Mars arrives and joins them. Three bodies on your own rashi, one of them the greatest benefic, one of them a shadow planet whose whole function is to detach, and one of them the planet of heat and force. That is not a simple month, and it is not a bad one either. It is a loud one.

Underneath that, your ruling planet is weak for half the period. The Sun is debilitated in Libra and your third house until 16 November at 7:39 pm, when it crosses into Scorpio and your fourth house and recovers a good deal of its strength. And Rahu remains in Aquarius and your seventh house all month, directly opposite Ketu on your rashi, which puts the nodal axis across your first-and-seventh — the self-and-other axis — for the last full month before both nodes shift on 5 December.

Three Planets on Your Rashi: What Each One Is Doing

Reading a crowded first house means separating the occupants rather than averaging them. Jupiter on the rashi is the transit most Leo natives will experience as expansion of the self: more scope, more optimism, more physical presence, often literal weight gain, and a general sense that things are opening up. It has been in Leo since the end of October and it is the best of your three.

Ketu on the rashi is the counterweight and the more interesting of the two. Ketu detaches from whatever it occupies, so a Ketu period on the first house is characteristically a period of not much caring how you are perceived — which for a sign whose reputation rests on wanting to be seen is a genuine internal shift. Some Leo natives read it as liberation and some as a loss of appetite for things they used to enjoy. Either way it is Ketu’s last full month on your sign before it moves to Cancer on 5 December.

Mars from the 12th is the one to actually manage. It arrives from a debilitation in Cancer, so it is in better shape than it was, and it is a fire planet in a fire sign ruled by a friend, which suits it. But Mars on the first house raises the temperature of the body and the temper, and here it lands in the same sign as Ketu. Mars with Ketu is classically an abrupt combination — sudden action, sudden anger, accidents from haste, decisions made in a single moment that are hard to reverse. The sensible reading for the second half of November is that your capacity for decisive action is high and your judgement about when to use it is not.

There is one further piece worth naming: Saturn is retrograde in Pisces and your eighth house of transformation, longevity and joint finances for the whole of November, and does not turn direct until 11 December. An eighth-house Saturn is a slow, subterranean transit — it tends to show up as a long-running matter concerning money that is not entirely yours, or as a chronic issue asking for attention rather than an acute one.

That placement has its own classical name. Saturn transiting the eighth house from the natal Moon is called Ardha Ashtama Shani — literally the half-eighth Saturn — and it is understood as carrying roughly half the weight of Sade Sati, which for the whole of Saturn’s stay in Pisces belongs to Aquarius, Pisces and Aries natives rather than to you. Naming it matters because it sets the expectation correctly: this is a period of steady erosion in eighth-house matters — money that is not entirely yours, obligations inherited rather than chosen, and a condition managed rather than cured — and not a crisis. It responds to being looked at directly, which is precisely what most people do not do with eighth-house material.

Career: The Full Moon Lands on Your Tenth

The most useful professional date in the month is 24 November at 8:23 pm, when the Full Moon falls at 8.1° of Taurus in Krittika nakshatra, in your tenth house of career and public standing. A tenth-house Full Moon is a culmination in the most visible part of the chart — a result becomes public, a project reaches its conclusion, a decision about your position is announced, or your work is recognised. Full Moons conclude rather than open, so it is the day something you have been building becomes visible rather than the day you start building.

Your ruler being debilitated until the 16th is the constraint on the first half. The Sun governs status, authority and the recognition a Leo native runs on, and a debilitated Sun in Libra is that faculty at its weakest — the characteristic experience is doing perfectly good work and feeling invisible while doing it. The date it changes is precise: 16 November, 7:39 pm. From then, the Sun in Scorpio in your fourth house is stronger and more inward, and the recognition question resolves through the Full Moon of the 24th rather than through anything you do in the first fortnight.

The third house holds the Sun, Mercury and Venus at the start of the month plus the New Moon on 9 November at 12:32 pm, which makes communication, short journeys, writing and dealings with siblings and colleagues the practical arena of the first fortnight. Mercury is retrograde in it until 13 November at 9:24 pm, so expect messages to cross and a piece of writing or a document to need redoing. The New Moon of the 9th is a strong opening for a communication project — a channel, a course, a pitch — provided you build it in the first fortnight and launch it in the second.

Rahu’s last full month in your seventh house of partnership deserves a note. Rahu in the seventh has been amplifying and distorting the other party for eighteen months — business partners who turned out to be different from their presentation, unconventional alliances, and a general tendency for the important relationships to be with people unlike you. If a partnership decision has been pending under that transit, November is the month to settle it, because the configuration changes on 5 December.

Love: The Nodal Axis Across You and Your Partner

Ketu on your rashi and Rahu in your seventh house is the configuration to understand for relationships this month, and it is a specific one. The nodes always sit opposite each other, and when they land on the first-and-seventh axis they describe an imbalance between self and other: Ketu on the self indicates disengagement from your own position, Rahu on the partner indicates that the other person looms larger than they should. In practice, Leo natives under this axis tend to over-accommodate and then resent it, or to find the relationship has quietly become the whole weather system of their life.

It is the last full month of that axis. Both nodes change signs on 5 December, moving to Capricorn and Cancer, which takes the pressure off the relationship axis entirely. Knowing that November is the end of a phase rather than the beginning of one is worth a great deal — it argues for patience rather than for a decision.

Venus is in your third house in its own sign for the first five days, drops into debilitated Virgo and your second house on 6 November at 1:15 am, turns direct there on 14 November at 5:58 am, and returns to Libra and your third on 22 November at 5:09 pm. Venus debilitated in the second house from the 6th to the 22nd tends to show as friction about money and about family — the second house is both — and the debilitation means the complaint is louder than it is warranted. Mars entering your first house on the 12th, in the middle of that stretch, adds a short fuse to it. The 12th to the 22nd is the least forgiving window of the month for a domestic disagreement.

The good stretch is the last nine days. From 22 November Venus is back in its own sign, Mercury is direct, your ruler has recovered, and the Full Moon has cleared. For Leo natives thinking about a formalisation or a difficult conversation that needs to go well, put it after the 22nd, and check the specifics against your own chart rather than the transit — your Kundli will show whether your seventh house is a live area right now.

Money: The Second House Under a Weak Venus

Venus debilitated in your second house of wealth, family and speech for sixteen days is the month’s financial signature, and the practical meaning is straightforward: money will feel tighter than it is, and the assessment you make of your own position between the 6th and the 22nd will be more pessimistic than accurate. Venus is the planet of value, and debilitated in the house of value it undervalues. Do not make a structural financial decision — selling something, taking a loan, cutting a commitment — on the basis of how things look in that fortnight.

Saturn retrograde in your eighth house is the more substantial background transit. The eighth is the house of other people’s money — loans, joint accounts, inheritance, a spouse’s income, insurance, tax — and a retrograde Saturn there means anything in that territory moves backwards through old ground. A tax matter, a claim, or a long-standing debt is more likely to resurface in November than to be resolved in it. Saturn turns direct on 11 December; the resolution belongs to December and January rather than to now.

Jupiter on your rashi is the counterweight, and it is a real one. Jupiter in the first house aspects the fifth, seventh and ninth by its own aspects, which is a broadly fortunate spread, and its presence on the rashi tends to mean that opportunities present themselves without being chased. What it does not do is make you careful. Jupiter on the first house with Mars joining it on the 12th is a genuinely expansive configuration and also the configuration under which a Leo native commits to something larger than they should because it felt right at the time.

The Full Moon in your tenth house on the 24th may well have an income consequence, since career results and money tend to arrive together. Treat the 24th as the day the position becomes clear and the following week as the time to act on it.

Health: Heat on the Rashi from the 12th

Until 12 November, Mars is in your twelfth house — the house of hospitals, rest and things that happen out of sight — and debilitated there. A twelfth-house Mars is often felt as low-grade depletion and disturbed sleep rather than as a specific complaint, and the debilitation softens its force. This is the quieter half of the month physically.

From the evening of the 12th, Mars is on your rashi, and Leo is the heart and upper back in the Kalapurusha scheme. Mars in the first house raises body heat and blood pressure, shortens the temper and increases the chance of accidents from moving too fast; with Ketu in the same sign the abruptness is amplified. Leo natives with high blood pressure or a cardiac history should treat the second half of November as a period for consistency in medication and moderation in exertion, and should not use it to test a limit. Cuts, burns and falls from haste are the other characteristic pattern, and they are almost entirely avoidable by slowing down.

Jupiter on the rashi has its own physical signature, which is expansion: appetite, weight, and a tendency to take the comfortable option. Combined with Mars from the 12th, the useful reading is that your energy in the second half of the month is high and your restraint is low. This is a good fortnight to train and a poor one to indulge, and most Leo natives will do both.

Saturn retrograde in your eighth house through the whole month is the chronic marker rather than the acute one. If there is a condition you have been managing rather than addressing, an eighth-house Saturn is the transit that asks for it to be properly investigated. Book the appointment; the eighth house rewards looking at the thing directly.

Key Dates for Leo in November 2026

• 1–16 November: Your ruler, the Sun, is debilitated in your third house. Good work will feel unnoticed. It is a transit, not a verdict, and it ends on the 16th.
• 6 November, 1:15 am: Venus leaves its own sign for debilitated Virgo and your second house. Sixteen days in which money and family both feel worse than they are.
• 9 November, 12:32 pm: New Moon at 22.7° Libra, Vishakha, in your third house of communication. A strong opening for a writing, speaking or teaching project — build it now, launch it after the 14th.
• 12 November, 8:10 pm: Mars enters Leo and joins Jupiter and Ketu on your own rashi. Three bodies on your sign. Capacity for action goes up; judgement about timing does not.
• 13 November, 9:24 pm: Mercury turns direct in your third house. Documents and messages stop reversing.
• 14 November, 5:58 am: Venus turns direct in your second house, eight hours after Mercury.
• 16 November, 7:39 pm: The Sun leaves its debilitation for Scorpio and your fourth house. Your ruler recovers. The most welcome instant of the month for Simha Rashi.
• 12–22 November: The least forgiving window of the month for a domestic or family argument — Mars newly on your rashi, Venus debilitated in your family house.
• 22 November, 5:09 pm: Venus returns to Libra and your third house in its own sign. The final nine days are the month’s best.
• 24 November, 8:23 pm: Full Moon at 8.1° Taurus, Krittika, in your tenth house of career. Something you have built becomes public.

Week by Week

1–7 November: Working Unseen

A week of effort without acknowledgement, which for a Leo native is the specific kind of difficult. Your ruler is debilitated, Mercury is retrograde in your third house, and Venus leaves its own sign on the 6th. Mars is still in your twelfth, so energy is lower than usual too. The right use of the week is preparation: draft the thing, plan the launch, have the conversations that do not require a decision. Jupiter on your rashi means opportunity will still find you; it just will not applaud.

8–14 November: The Rashi Fills Up

The pivot week. The New Moon of the 9th opens your third house, Mars crosses onto your rashi on the evening of the 12th, and Mercury and Venus turn direct within eight hours of each other on the night of the 13th into the morning of the 14th. From the 12th you will feel markedly more energetic and markedly less patient, both at once — that is Mars arriving next to Ketu, and it is worth recognising the source so you do not act on the impatience. Schedule what matters for the 14th and 15th, when the stations have cleared and the Sun is about to recover.

15–21 November: Your Ruler Recovers

The Sun leaves its debilitation on the evening of the 16th and enters your fourth house. The visibility problem of the first fortnight resolves, though the Sun in the fourth is a more private placement than a public one, so the recognition arrives through the Full Moon of the 24th rather than immediately. Venus is still debilitated in your second house until the 22nd, so money and family remain the sore points. The productive focus of this week is home and property, which is where the fourth-house Sun is pointing.

22–30 November: The Tenth House Lights Up

The strongest week of November for Simha Rashi. Venus returns to its own sign on the 22nd, both stations are behind you, your ruler is out of its debilitation, and on the 24th the Full Moon culminates in your tenth house of career. Expect the week to deliver a result rather than an opportunity. It is also the right moment to close anything outstanding with a business partner, because Rahu leaves your seventh house on 5 December and the configuration you have been negotiating under for eighteen months ends with it.

Remedies for Simha Rashi in November 2026

Two priorities: the Sun, which rules your rashi and is debilitated for the first sixteen days, and the Mars–Ketu contact on your own sign from the 12th. Sundays and Tuesdays are the leverage days.

• Surya Arghya every morning to the 16th: water offered to the rising Sun, with the Gayatri or “Om Suryaya Namaha”. This is the direct remedy for a debilitated rashi lord and the transit has a hard end date, which makes the practice easy to commit to. See our Sun page for what it governs.
• Sunday observance on 1, 8 and 15 November: the three Sundays inside the debilitation. Wheat, jaggery and red cloth are the traditional offerings; the 15th, the day before the Sun changes sign, is the most pointed.
• Aditya Hridayam on Sundays: the classical Sun stotra, and the one best matched to a weakened rashi lord in a Leo chart.
• Hanuman Chalisa on the Tuesdays of 17 and 24 November: the Tuesdays after Mars reaches your rashi. Mars with Ketu on the first house is the configuration this addresses.
• Ganesha worship for Ketu: Ketu’s standard remedy, and appropriate for its last full month on your sign. A coconut offering, or feeding a dog, both traditional.
• Shani remedies on Saturdays: Saturn is retrograde in your eighth house all month. Sesame oil and black til, and specifically for the eighth house, some attention to a matter you have been avoiding rather than a ritual.
• Slow down deliberately after 12 November: the practical remedy for Mars with Ketu on the rashi. Cuts, burns, falls and a remark you cannot take back are the characteristic risks, and all four respond to a few seconds of pause.
• Do not decide about a partnership in this month’s heat: the nodal axis on your first-and-seventh dissolves on 5 December. A decision taken in the second fortnight of November will be made under Mars on your rashi and reviewed under a completely different sky three weeks later.

In Summary

November 2026 gives Simha Rashi more planetary weight on its own sign than any other rashi will carry this month, and the three occupants pull in three directions. Jupiter expands, Ketu detaches, and Mars — from the evening of the 12th — accelerates. Alongside that, your ruling planet spends the first sixteen days debilitated, so the first half of the month is one of unrewarded effort and the second is one of considerable force with imperfect judgement attached.

The two dates to hold are 16 November, when the Sun leaves its debilitation and the invisibility lifts, and 24 November, when the Full Moon culminates in your tenth house and something you have been building becomes public. Between them sits the month’s real instruction, which is to use the energy Mars gives you after the 12th without also using the impatience it brings.

Which of the nine Leo padas your Moon occupies determines how directly three bodies on your rashi actually touch you, and which mahadasha you are running determines whether it registers at all. What the Leo rashi fixes and what it leaves open covers that, and the October reading covers Jupiter’s arrival on your sign.
