Mars joins Jupiter and Ketu#

The Times of India describes Cancer as a sign of debilitation for Mars, a term used in its account for a placement where the planet is considered weak. It associates Mars in Leo, a fire sign ruled by the Sun, with drive and directness.

In the newspaper's reading, the presence of Mars and Jupiter in the same sign forms Guru-Mangal Yoga, an astrological combination associated with leadership and action. The paper also identifies a separate combination involving Mars and Ketu, which it calls Angarak Yoga.

Ketu has been in Leo since May 2025, while Jupiter entered the sign on October 31, according to The Times of India. The newspaper also places Saturn in Pisces and describes an aspect, an astrological relationship, between Mars and Saturn.

The Moon moves into Sagittarius#

The Moon's move follows its passage through Scorpio on November 11, when News9Live placed it in the lunar divisions Anuradha and Jyeshtha. The Times of India says the Moon is now traveling through Mula, a nakshatra, or lunar division, whose name means root.

The Times of India associates Mula with clearing away old habits and reconsidering beliefs. It also identifies Jupiter as the ruler of Sagittarius and describes an astrological relationship between Jupiter in Leo and the Moon.

Mars and Ketu approach a conjunction#

The Times of India places Mars and Ketu at nearly the same degree of Leo early on November 15. It says their conjunction, a meeting at nearly the same position, forms Angarak Yoga and places that meeting in the Magha nakshatra.

Teen Vogue places Mercury in Scorpio and Venus in Libra as both end their retrogrades on November 13. The newspaper says the combination remains in force until Ketu moves into Cancer on December 5, 2026.
