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 5th house (children, creativity, study and risk-taking). The focus is children, creativity and study. Share the evening with the young ones, and keep any risk-taking modest.
| Planet | Sign | From your Moon sign | Themes | Gochara |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jupiter | Leo | 3rd house | effort, courage, siblings and short trips | Mixed / neutral |
| Saturn (retrograde) | Pisces | 10th house | career, status and public standing | Mixed / neutral |
| Venus (retrograde) | Virgo | 4th house | home, family peace and property | Supportive in classical gochara |
| Mars | Cancer | 2nd house | family, savings and speech | Mixed / neutral |
| Mercury (retrograde) | Libra | 5th house | children, creativity, study and risk-taking | Mixed / neutral |
Your sign's lord, Mercury, is in your 5th house (children, creativity, study and risk-taking) 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 9th house and Ketu in your 3rd house, so the nodal axis is currently touching luck, teachers, faith and long journeys and effort, courage, siblings and short trips.
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 Gemini 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.
