For Simha rashi — the Leo Moon sign. The Sun begins the calendar month in your 7th house. At the Sankranti on 15 March 2026 it moves to your 8th — and that turn is what the month is read around. Venus enters your 8th on 2 March; Venus enters your 9th on 26 March. Below are the dates that matter, then what the month indicates across each area of life.
Every one of these is a real planetary movement, with the house it falls in counted from Simha.
Booked before launches, deals and expansions — to clear obstacles from the path of a venture.
Tradition associates this rite with the eighth house — obstruction. Read about the Ganapathi Homa →
The calculated dates are ready. The five-part written reading is awaiting human review for this month. No draft, expired, or older prose is reused.
It applies to every Simha native alive — roughly a hundred million people. Whatever it says will fit some of them well during March 2026 and others not at all. That is arithmetic rather than modesty, and it is the honest limit of any reading written for a rashi.
What it does do is follow from the actual sky. Every date above is a real planetary movement you can check against any panchang, and each section names the transit it rests on. That is the difference between a monthly reading and a monthly essay.
If it does not match your month, your chart is the reason. Your lagna, the houses your planets occupy and above all the dasha you are running decide what a transit actually does to you. A supportive month for Simha means little to a Simha native in a difficult period. Check your dasha, or generate your kundli →
Not necessarily. “Leo” from a birth date is usually a Western Sun sign; Simha rashi is your Vedic Moon sign, a different measure in a different zodiac. Check your actual rashi →
Because of the Sankranti — the Sun’s entry into a new rashi, which falls in the middle of a calendar month rather than at its start. When it moves, the house the Sun occupies from Simha changes, and that is the single largest factor in a monthly reading. It is why our readings are organised around that date rather than around the 1st. Sankranti calendar →
Because most of those are Western Sun-sign readings, which is a different system answering a different question from a different zodiac. Ours is a Vedic Moon-sign reading, calculated from the sidereal positions using the Lahiri ayanamsa. Neither is a faulty version of the other; they are not the same thing.
At the start of each calendar month. But the readings themselves turn on the Sankranti, which usually falls mid-month — so a reading published on the 1st describes two distinct halves rather than one uniform period. Sankranti calendar →
Expected some of the time, and worth knowing why. A rashi reading is written for a twelfth of everyone; what differentiates you from the rest of Simha is your lagna, your houses, and the dasha you are running. If the mismatch is persistent, that is a sign the chart is worth reading properly rather than a sign the astrology is wrong. Have it read →
The dated movements above can provide general timing context, but they do not know your chart. For anything that genuinely matters, the tradition calculates a muhurta from your own chart rather than relying on a rashi horoscope. Muhurat Finder →
What differs between you and every other Simha native is your lagna, your houses and the period you are running. An astrologer reads those and tells you what the transits actually mean for you — and the fee is credited in full against any ritual you book afterwards.
