Overview

The month opens with the Sun and Mercury in Sagittarius, your fifth house of creativity, studies and romance, and the New Moon there on the 7th starts a fresh cycle in those matters. From the 10th Mercury and from the 15th the Sun move into Capricorn, your sixth house, so attention shifts to duties, schedules and practical problem-solving. Rahu stays in the sixth all month, which amplifies ambition around work. Saturn remains in Pisces, your eighth house, asking for patience with shared resources and deep changes. On the 25th Jupiter leaves your first house and enters Cancer, your twelfth, turning the focus toward rest, expenses and reflection.

Career and Money

Mercury in the sixth house from the 10th is good for paperwork, planning, negotiations about duties and sorting out daily workflow. The Sun joins on the 15th, giving you visibility with those in authority, while Rahu in the sixth can make you ambitious and willing to outwork competitors. Keep your tone measured and your commitments realistic. Mars turns retrograde in Leo on the 11th, so revisit projects you started in a hurry rather than launching big new ones. With Jupiter entering the twelfth house on the 25th, expect expenses to rise, perhaps on travel, education or home needs. Track spending carefully and avoid impulsive purchases. Mercury's move into Aquarius on the 28th brings contracts and partner discussions into focus.

Relationships

Venus begins the month in Libra, your third house, where it favors easy talk with siblings, neighbors and close friends. On the 2nd it enters Scorpio, your fourth house, bringing warmth, comfort and peace of mind to home life and your bond with your mother. On the 30th Venus reaches Sagittarius, your fifth house, which lifts romance, play and affection with children. The New Moon on the 7th in the fifth house can open a new chapter in a romantic or creative connection. The Full Moon on the 22nd in Cancer, your twelfth house, may bring a private matter to a head, so choose quiet, honest conversation over reaction. Mars retrograde in your first house calls for patience when tempers run short.

Energy and Routine

Your drive is strong early in the month, with Mars in your first house, but its retrograde turn on the 11th suggests directing that fire into steady routines instead of sudden bursts. The sixth-house emphasis from the Sun, Mercury and Rahu favors regular schedules, tidy habits and practical self-care. Keep sleep, meals and exercise consistent, and avoid overcommitting on weekdays. Once Jupiter enters the twelfth house on the 25th, and with the Full Moon there on the 22nd, your body and mind benefit from more downtime, quiet evenings and time away from screens. Meditation, time alone or a gentle retreat can restore balance. Ketu in the twelfth house also supports letting go of what drains you.

Advice

Use the New Moon on the 7th to set one clear intention around creativity, study or a romantic goal. From the 10th, put Mercury's sixth-house energy to work on organizing tasks and clearing small backlogs. Around the 11th, when Mars turns retrograde, slow down and review plans, especially those involving your health routines or personal image. The Sun's entry into Capricorn on the 15th is a good time to talk with a senior about responsibilities. Around the Full Moon on the 22nd and Jupiter's entry into Cancer on the 25th, set a budget and make room for rest. At month's end, read contracts carefully as Mercury enters Aquarius on the 28th, and enjoy Venus in Sagittarius from the 30th.
