Fortune begins to turn for Aquarius this Thursday. Venus, ruler of your ninth house of luck and your yogakaraka, rises clear of the Sun in Libra, that same ninth. Sankashti Chaturthi falls today too, and Ganesha puja at moonrise is a strong remedy for lingering Sade Sati obstacles. The Moon moves from Taurus, your fourth, into Gemini, your fifth, in the afternoon. Shani, your ruler, stays retrograde in your second.




Venus Rising in the NinthWith Venus reappearing in the house of fortune, plans that stalled in early October may move again. A pending visa step or a mentor’s support may come through.




Venus is still retrograde, and Mercury moves backward beside it, so confirm details before celebrating.




Sankashti and Sade SatiShani teaches through obstacles, and Ganesha is worshipped to remove them. Turning to Ganesha during Sade Sati helps its lessons arrive with fewer blocks.




Keep a light fast and offer a lamp to Ganesha at moonrise, asking that the final months of Sade Sati pass smoothly.




Moon in the Fourth and FifthThe morning Moon, exalted in your fourth, keeps home peaceful. After it enters Gemini, your fifth, children and creative work bring evening joy. Mrigashira encourages curiosity, so let children ask questions during the puja.




Rahu, Jupiter and MarsRahu on your sign may still bring restless thoughts. Exalted Jupiter in your sixth supports health, while debilitated Mars there warns against irritability during the fast.
