2.5Sensitivity runs high and words land harder than intended, in both directions. Assume the better motive.
17 October – 15 November
Libra (Tula), Sunday, 25 October 2026: 3.5 out of 5, with the Moon in Meena (Revati nakshatra), the 6th house from Tula.
The Moon occupies your sixth house, a genuinely favourable placement. Obstacles that looked fixed start to move, rivals lose their footing, and old health complaints ease.
Budha governs the Moon's nakshatra, quickening speech, trade and paperwork. Write the message, send the invoice, make the call.
Sensitivity runs high and words land harder than intended, in both directions. Assume the better motive.
Good for planning, poor for launching. Draft it today and send it when the pace picks up.
Verify before you transfer. Haste, not bad luck, is the risk in this period.
Long-standing minor complaints quieten down. Use the window rather than testing its limits.
Suggested remedy
Feed birds or stray animals before your first meal.
Tula weighs. Ruled by Shukra, it is the rashi most attuned to other people: what they need, what is fair, what the room can bear. Tula people are genuinely good company and genuinely good mediators. The difficulty is that a mind built to see both sides can struggle to choose one, and a person built to keep the peace can go a long time without saying what they want. Tula grows by learning that a stated preference is not an act of aggression.
Tula — known in English as Libra — is the sidereal zodiac sign of the Scales, ruled by Shukra (Venus). It is a air (vayu) rashi of movable (chara) quality: in Vedic astrology that pair describes how a sign begins things, holds them, or adapts to them.
In the sidereal zodiac the Sun passes through Tula from roughly 17 October to 15 November. Western astrology uses the tropical zodiac, where Libra runs from 23 September – 22 October. The two differ by about 24 degrees — the ayanamsa — which is why your Vedic rashi is usually the sign before your Western one.
Tula contains Chitra (Pada 3–4), Swati, Vishakha (Pada 1–3). Each rashi spans 30 degrees and holds two and a quarter nakshatras, so the nakshatra locates a planet far more precisely than the rashi alone, and it is the nakshatra that determines your Vimshottari dasha sequence.
In Indian and Nepali practice your rashi is your Chandra rashi — the sign the Moon occupied at your birth, not the Sun. The Moon governs the mind, and it is the Moon's daily transit counted from your rashi that a daily rashifal actually reads.
In traditional matching, Libra tends to find easy ground with Gemini, Aquarius, where the element and the ruling planets agree. Aries asks more work — not incompatibility, but a difference in pace and priority that has to be named rather than assumed. Ashtakoota Gun Milan looks at eight factors and not only the rashi, so treat sign-to-sign compatibility as a first indication rather than a verdict. Libra Compatibility — Which Rashis Match Libra
Method
These are the sidereal positions the prediction is derived from. You can check every one of them against any panchang.
The Sun transits Tula from about 17 October to 15 November each year in the sidereal zodiac. In the Western tropical zodiac, Libra covers 23 September – 22 October. The roughly three-week gap between the two is the ayanamsa — the precession accumulated between the fixed-star zodiac and the equinox-based one.
Tula is ruled by Shukra (Venus). When a Tula chart is read, the condition of that planet — its sign, house, aspects and dasha — carries much of the weight.
Chitra (Pada 3–4), Swati, Vishakha (Pada 1–3). A rashi spans 30 degrees and contains two and a quarter nakshatras, so the nakshatra fixes a planet's position far more precisely than the rashi, and it sets the Vimshottari dasha sequence.
Because the two zodiacs start from different points. The tropical zodiac begins at the spring equinox; the sidereal zodiac used in Vedic astrology is fixed to the stars. They have drifted about 24 degrees apart, so people born in the first three weeks of a Western sign usually fall in the previous rashi.
The Moon sign. In Indian and Nepali usage your rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. A daily rashifal reads the transiting Moon counted from that sign, which is why the prediction changes every day or two as the Moon moves.
