Leo Monthly Horoscope (Simha Rashi Phal)
01 Sep 2026 to 30 Sep 2026 · Rashi phal read from the Moon
A month where speech cuts both ways: sharp early, then a quieter stretch to settle what
The month opens with the mind moving fast and the tongue quicker than the thought. Sun, Mercury and Ketu sit together in your own sign, which makes the first half sharp for analysis but brittle for patience, and the eclipse shadow over the Sun asks you to watch what you say to people above you. Around the 17th the Sun steps into the second house and the tone changes: the same sharpness now lands on money and family, where a careless word costs more than it should. Jupiter in the twelfth is a quiet helper, the kind that pays late, so do not judge the month by its first two weeks.
Career and business
At work the first week favours the employee who has prepared, not the one who improvises. Mercury combust in the first makes the mind quick but the delivery rushed, so rehearse the presentation and send the email after a reread, especially before the 7th. Business owners should hold off on new hires or big purchases until after the 17th, when the Sun enters the second and brings a steadier hand to accounts. Job seekers may find calls coming in near the 5th and 6th, when the Moon is in the eleventh, but interviews around the 10th and 11th tend to trip on small details. The 12th and 13th are good days for negotiating salary or closing a deal, since the Moon in the second supports gains.
Students and exams
Study goes well when it is repetitive and poorly when it is exploratory. The first week is for mock tests and revision, not new material, because Mercury combust makes the mind fast but forgetful, and you will think you know what you do not. The tenth and eleventh are the riskiest days for exams: the Moon in your sign with Ketu there makes you second-guess answers you know.
Health
The body asks for routine more than anything this month. The first two weeks, with Sun and Ketu together in the first, tend to bring headaches, eye strain, or a low fever that hangs on if you push through. Sleep is the first thing to go, so set a fixed bedtime and keep it, especially from the 10th to the 13th when the Moon crosses your sign. Digestion is uneven around the 16th to 18th, when the Moon moves through Scorpio in the fourth, so eat light and avoid late dinners then.
Marriage and love
In the household, the first half is warmer than the second. Venus debilitated in the second until the 2nd makes affection feel like effort, and after Venus moves into the third on the 2nd, small kindnesses come easier, especially with siblings and neighbours. The 5th and 6th are good days for a conversation you have been avoiding, because the Moon in the eleventh softens the edges. The 10th to the 13th, Moon in your sign and then the second, is the stretch where old resentments surface, and the wise move is to listen and not defend.
Wealth and money
Money is steady but not spectacular this month. Venus debilitated in the second until the 2nd makes you prone to spending on comforts that do not last, so make the big purchase after the 2nd, when Venus moves into the third and the same money buys something more useful. The 12th and 13th are the best days for receiving a payment or settling an account, because the Moon in the second supports inflow.
Yogas and doshas this month
The Grahana yoga on the Sun runs until the 16th, and it puts a shadow over authority, reputation and any matter where you need to be seen as reliable. This is not a month to confront a boss, challenge a senior, or launch anything that depends on public trust. The eclipse configuration also touches the father's health or standing, so check in on him more than usual. Ketu over the rasi all month drains interest from what used to hold it, and that can feel like a low mood or a loss of purpose, but it is a transit, not a verdict, and it passes.
The month's key transits
Venus leaves its debilitation in the second on the 2nd, and that lifts the pressure on money and family harmony for the rest of the month. Mercury enters the second on the 7th, and from then until the 17th, speech and money are more connected: a well-chosen word can close a deal, and a careless one can cost one. The Sun enters the second on the 17th, which shifts the focus from self-expression to security, and the last two weeks of the month are better for consolidating than for pushing. Mars enters the twelfth on the 18th, and that turns energy inward: you may feel less like fighting for new ground and more like finishing what is on your plate.
This is a general reading, the same for everyone whose moon sign is Leo. It is drawn from gochar alone, so it knows nothing about the rest of your chart, your dasha, or which houses your own lagna puts these grahas in. A rectified birth chart is what makes any of that personal, and it is the difference between a page like this and a reading.
What the sky actually says
Everything in this section is computed, not written. It is the same engine behind the kundli calculator, so these positions hold whoever reads them.
the Sun and Ketu share a sign, the 1st from this rasi
Sun with a node is the eclipse configuration: authority, father and reputation come under a shadow, and matters that depend on standing move slowly.
Jupiter transits the 12th from this rasi, a dusthana
Jupiter in the 6th, 8th or 12th from the Moon is the weaker placement of a benefic: expense, obligation and effort that pays late rather than loss outright.
Ketu transits this rasi itself
Ketu on the Moon sign is read as detachment and withdrawal, interest draining from what used to hold it.
the Sun and Mercury share a sign, the 1st from this rasi
Sun with Mercury is read as a sharpened intellect and clear speech, though Mercury close to the Sun is also combust, which the tradition treats as the same brightness burning the wit.
the Sun and Mercury share a sign, the 2nd from this rasi
Sun with Mercury is read as a sharpened intellect and clear speech, though Mercury close to the Sun is also combust, which the tradition treats as the same brightness burning the wit.
Where this reading comes from
The Vedic daily reading, counted from your moon sign. This is the one Indian astrology means by a horoscope.
Your rashi is where the Moon was when you were born, which is not the sun sign a Western horoscope uses. They differ for most people, so check yours before you pick a page.
Which moon sign is yours?
Your rashi is the sign the Moon stood in when you were born, not the sun sign a Western horoscope uses. The Moon crosses a sign every two and a quarter days, so the two rarely agree. Enter your birth details and this returns your moon sign, your birth star and your rising sign.
