Index 5.0/10 · Mixed-Positive (the mean of the seven days)

Work moves at an even pace this week: finish and document what is open, keep commitments realistic and leave big changes of direction for a clearer stretch.

Sun in Virgo, your 10th house (until 17 Oct): The tenth house is the Sun's strongest placement for work. The gochara table counts it favourable, and the tradition reads recognition, work getting done and support from those in authority.

Sun in Libra, your 11th house (from 17 Oct): The eleventh house — gains and wishes — is favourable for the Sun. The tradition reads income, honour and goals moving forward, with seniors and networks helping.

Basis: Sun 10th (favourable) → 11th (favourable); Saturn 4th (adverse); Mars 8th (adverse); Mercury 11th (favourable); Jupiter 8th (adverse).

Index 4.6/10 · Mixed-Negative (the mean of the seven days)

Keep money steady this week: hold large outlays for a clearer stretch and tidy the small leaks — dues, subscriptions, overlooked bills.

Mercury in Libra, your 11th house (all week): The eleventh house — gains — is favourable for Mercury. The tradition reads income, helpful contacts and good news.

Basis: Jupiter 8th (adverse); Mercury 11th (favourable); Venus 11th (favourable); Saturn 4th (adverse).

Index 5.0/10 · Mixed-Positive (the mean of the seven days)

Steady attention does more than grand gestures this week: listen more than you speak and keep clear of old triggers.

Venus in Libra, your 11th house (all week): The eleventh house is favourable for Venus. The tradition reads friendship, gains and wishes fulfilled in relationships.

Basis: Venus 11th (favourable); Mars 8th (adverse); Jupiter 8th (adverse); and the Moon, day by day, in the table above.

Index 5.5/10 · Mixed-Positive (the mean of the seven days)

Keep intensity moderate this week: rest, digestion and a regular routine matter more than pushing limits.

Mars in Cancer, your 8th house (all week): In the eighth house Mars is adverse. The tradition counts it a stretch for extra care with health and safety: avoid haste, overexertion and needless risk.

Basis: Sun 10th (favourable) → 11th (favourable); Mars 8th (adverse); Saturn 4th (adverse); Rahu 3rd (favourable); Ketu 9th (adverse); and the Moon, day by day, in the table above.

Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu move too slowly to change much inside a week; they are the background every day above is read against. Their house from Sagittarius, and the gochara verdict:

• Jupiter — Cancer, 8th (adverse)
• Saturn — Pisces, 4th (adverse) · Dhaiya (Kantaka Shani)
• Rahu — Aquarius, 3rd (favourable)
• Ketu — Leo, 9th (adverse)

The full reading of the slow grahas: Sagittarius horoscope 2027 · Sade Sati by Moon sign

Saturn weighs most against Sagittarius this week: its gochara contribution averages -1.05 across the days (house 4th). The traditional free practice for Saturn:

• Chant the Saturn mantra: Om Praam Preem Praum Sah Shanaischaraya Namah. Sit facing east after sunrise — Saturday is the strongest day for it. Chant 6 malas a day (648 repetitions), keeping count on a 108-bead mala. Keep it up for 40 days without a break — that completes the traditional 23,000.
• Daily practice for Saturn. Feed black dogs and crows; be of service to the elderly. Keep it up every day for 40 days — consistency is the remedy.
