The First Fortnight of December 2026

The first half of December 2026 is three slow events, and people will mash them into one mood. Rahu enters Makara, and Ketu enters Karka, around 5–6 December. Shani turns direct in Meena on 11 December, around 5 a.m. IST. Guru stations retrograde in early Simha on 13 December.

A factory in Ahmedabad announces a reorganisation on the 10th. The notice cannot tell you which graha it belongs to. Status and hurry lean Rahu. A review of a role you already hold leans Shani turning direct. A course, a guru, or a legal file reopened leans Guru. Sort them before you react to the fortnight as one omen.

Read them as three notes

Rahu’s sign change is Rahu enters Makara. The station of Shani is Shani turns direct. Guru’s turn is Guru turns retrograde. Margashirsha’s festivals are quieter than Kartik. Use the quiet to label the paper on your desk, not to start three new vows.

If the reorganisation is your own chart and not the company’s, a Vimshottari Dasha analysis shows whether any of the three grahas is actually running.
