Dhanu Rashifal Today

आज का धनु राशिफल

The Dhanu rashifal is for people whose rashi, which is the sign the Moon was in at the moment of birth, is Dhanu. Vedic astrology reads each day by counting how many signs away from your rashi each planet is, starting with your rashi as the 1st. That count is called the house, and each of the twelve houses governs a different part of life.

Today's Moon / आज का चंद्रमा

At sunrise today the Moon is in Makar, the 2nd house counted from Dhanu.

Mixed

The 2nd house governs the money you hold, your family at home, food and the way you speak. Vedic astrology gives the Moon here a mixed reading: spending and family matters come to the front. It is a good day to sort out household accounts and a poor one for sharp words, so say less when you are irritated.

The Moon is passing through the Shravana nakshatra, one of the 27 star groups the Moon crosses each month. The Moon moves into Kumbh tomorrow at 07:01 IST, which is the 3rd house from Dhanu.

The slow planets / धीमे ग्रह

The Moon changes sign every two to three days. These four planets stay in a sign for a year or more, so they describe the stretch of time you are in rather than the day.

Saturn in Meen, the 4th house from Dhanu

Unfavourable

Saturn, the planet Vedic astrology links with work, discipline and delay, spends about two and a half years in each sign.

Saturn is in the 4th house from your sign, which governs home, your mother, vehicles and peace of mind. This is one half of Saturn's dhaiya, the two and a half years Saturn spends in the 4th or the 8th sign from your own. Vedic astrology reads it as pressure at home: repairs, a move or a parent's health may take time and money. Keep home matters simple and do not rush a property decision.

Saturn is retrograde, meaning that seen from Earth it appears to move backward through the zodiac. Vedic astrology reads a retrograde planet as going back over the matters of its house, so unfinished business in this part of life may come back for another look before it is settled.

Saturn stays in Meen until 3 June 2027, when it moves into Mesh, the 5th house from Dhanu.

Jupiter in Kark, the 8th house from Dhanu

Unfavourable

Jupiter, the planet Vedic astrology links with growth, teachers and good fortune, spends about a year in each sign.

Jupiter is in the 8th house from your sign, which governs sudden events, hidden matters and length of life. Vedic astrology counts this as one of Jupiter's two hard houses: expect obstacles, delays and unplanned expenses. Avoid risky investments and keep travel plans flexible.

Jupiter stays in Kark until 31 October 2026, when it moves into Singh, the 9th house from Dhanu.

Rahu in Kumbh, the 3rd house from Dhanu

Favourable

Rahu is the Moon's north node, the point where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. Vedic astrology treats it as a planet of appetite and sudden change, and it spends about eighteen months in each sign, moving backward through the zodiac.

Rahu is in the 3rd house from your sign, which governs effort, courage and short journeys. Vedic astrology counts this as one of Rahu's three good houses: bold effort pays and you move faster than rivals. This is a good stretch for a bold move you have already planned.

Rahu stays in Kumbh until 5 December 2026, when it moves into Makar, the 2nd house from Dhanu.

Ketu in Singh, the 9th house from Dhanu

Unfavourable

Ketu is the Moon's south node, always exactly opposite Rahu. Vedic astrology treats it as a planet of detachment and letting go, and it moves with Rahu, about eighteen months to a sign.

Ketu is in the 9th house from your sign, which governs fortune, your father, teachers and long journeys. Vedic astrology counts this as unfavourable: distance from elders and doubts about what you believe. Keep up your prayers or other spiritual practice.

Ketu stays in Singh until 5 December 2026, when it moves into Kark, the 8th house from Dhanu.
