The sky on Diwali night, from your sign
On the evening of Lakshmi Puja the Sun and Moon are together in Libra (the Amavasya), with the Moon in Swati nakshatra. Mercury is in Libra (retrograde), Venus in Virgo (retrograde), Mars in Cancer, Jupiter in Leo, Saturn in Pisces (retrograde), Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo (sidereal, Lahiri).
On Diwali night the Sun and Moon come together (the Amavasya) in your 7th house (marriage, partners and business tie-ups). The focus is partnership. Celebrate with your spouse or business partner and settle any pending understandings kindly.
| Planet | Sign | From your Moon sign | Themes | Gochara |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jupiter | Leo | 5th house | children, creativity, study and risk-taking | Supportive in classical gochara |
| Saturn (retrograde) | Pisces | 12th house | expenses, rest, charity and time abroad | Mixed / neutral |
| Venus (retrograde) | Virgo | 6th house | daily work, debts, service and discipline | Mixed / neutral |
| Mars | Cancer | 4th house | home, family peace and property | Mixed / neutral |
| Mercury (retrograde) | Libra | 7th house | marriage, partners and business tie-ups | Mixed / neutral |
Your sign's lord, Mars, is in your 4th house (home, family peace and property) on Diwali night. Of the five planets above, 1 sit in houses that classical gochara counts as supportive from your Moon sign. That is a summary of the sky, not a forecast: your own chart and dasha change the picture.
Rahu is in your 11th house and Ketu in your 5th house, so the nodal axis is currently touching income, gains, friends and wishes and children, creativity, study and risk-taking.
Mercury, Venus and Saturn are retrograde on Diwali night. Retrograde planets do not change the puja or its muhurat; some traditional astrologers simply prefer to keep big new commitments (a new business, a large loan) for a calmer period, and to buy what you will actually use.
Your Lakshmi Puja time
The Lakshmi Puja muhurat depends on your city, not your sign: in New Delhi it is 5:55 PM – 7:51 PM on Sunday, 8 November 2026. Find your city on the Lakshmi Puja muhurat page.
Keep in mind
- This is the general transit for everyone with a Aries Moon sign. Your own ascendant, dasha and the rest of your chart change how it lands.
- The puja is a matter of devotion and tradition; no planetary position guarantees money, health or any outcome.
