Tula (Libra) rashifal · 1996

Take care

The year in short

This year Jupiter is in your 3rd house. The tradition counts this as a slower year for growth; build carefully rather than expand.

Saturn is in your 6th house. The tradition counts this as Saturn asking for patience, discipline and care with health and money.

How this rashifal is worked out

Every planet's position is computed for the period and counted in houses from the Moon sign. The classical transit rules (Phaladeepika, Brihat Samhita) list the houses where each planet's transit is good; anywhere else it is difficult. A good placement is cancelled (vedha) when another planet stands in its blocking house. The Moon sets the tone of a day, the Sun, Mars, Mercury and Venus a week or a month, and Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu a year.

Planet	Good in houses	Blocked from (good → blocking house)
Sun	3, 6, 10, 11	3→9, 6→12, 10→4, 11→5
Moon	1, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11	1→5, 3→9, 6→12, 7→2, 10→4, 11→8
Mars	3, 6, 11	3→12, 6→9, 11→5
Mercury	2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11	2→5, 4→3, 6→9, 8→1, 10→8, 11→12
Jupiter	2, 5, 7, 9, 11	2→12, 5→4, 7→3, 9→10, 11→8
Venus	1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 11, 12	1→8, 2→7, 3→1, 4→10, 5→9, 8→5, 9→11, 11→6, 12→3
Saturn	3, 6, 11	3→12, 6→9, 11→5
Rahu	3, 6, 11	—
Ketu	3, 6, 11	—

No blocking is counted between the Sun and Saturn or between the Moon and Mercury, as the texts say. Rahu and Ketu follow Saturn's houses. This is a reading for everyone born under the sign; your own kundli and dasha matter more.
