This year Horoscope or Rashifal is based on Moon sign or janma rashi, not based on Sun sign or Western Astrology. If you do not know your moon sign or rashi please Click here to know your Moon sign or rashi.

Dhanu Rashi 2026 Horoscope (Sagittarius) People born in Moola nakshatra (4 padas), Purva Ashadha nakshatra (4 padas), or Uttara Ashadha nakshatra (1st Pada) come under Dhanu Rashi (Sagittarius Moon Sign). The lord of this Rashi is Jupiter (Guru).

For Dhanu Rashi natives, 2026 is a year of “Dread and Divine Protection”. The central challenge comes from Ardha-Ashtama Shani in your 4th house, which can weigh heavily on your heart, home and emotional peace. At the same time, you hold powerful weapons in your favour: Rahu in the 3rd house giving courage and victory through self-effort, and your own Rashi lord Jupiter, who first supports you from the 7th house and then becomes exalted in the 8th house, forming a strong Viparita Raja Yoga that protects you in times of crisis.


Sagittarius 2026 Year Horoscope (Rashiphal) – An Overview

2026 demands patience at home and boldness in the outer world. The key transits shaping your year are:

1. Ardha-Ashtama Shani – Saturn in Pisces (4th house) all year

  • Creates heaviness in the heart and emotional fatigue.
  • Can bring property-related issues, repairs or disputes.
  • May cause concerns for mother’s health or distance from home.

2. Rahu in Aquarius (3rd house) and Ketu in Leo (9th house) till December 6

  • Rahu in 3rd: One of the best Upachaya transits, giving courage, communication power, marketing skill and the ability to defeat competitors.
  • Ketu in 9th: Tests your faith, connection with father, gurus and traditional beliefs. You may question your old philosophy of life.

3. Jupiter (Guru), your Rashi lord

  • Jupiter in Gemini (7th house) till June 1: Excellent for marriage, partnerships, public relations, client dealing and social reputation.
  • Jupiter exalted in Cancer (8th house) from June 2 to October 30: A very powerful Viparita Raja Yoga in the 8th house. You may face 8th house topics like sudden changes, loans, taxes, inheritance or surgery – but gain from them and receive protection.
  • Jupiter in Leo (9th house) from October 31 onwards: A big relief and blessing. Guru finally enters your Bhagya Sthana, restoring faith, support from elders and long-term fortune as the year ends.

4. Rahu–Ketu shift on December 6, 2026

  • Rahu moves to Capricorn (2nd house of wealth) and Ketu to Cancer (8th house), setting up a new karmic axis for 2027 with focus on money, speech and deep transformation.

Key themes of 2026 for Dhanu Rashi

  • Emotional and domestic pressure due to Ardha-Ashtama Shani.
  • Very strong power of self-effort under Rahu in the 3rd house.

  • Multiple opportunities for brave decisions and inner transformation.

Career prospects for the year 2026 for Sagittarius sign (Dhanu Rashi)



Career in 2026 is more about how bravely you act than about how comfortable you feel. The outer world may reward you even when your inner world feels heavy.

Rahu in the 3rd house favours:

  • Sales, marketing, social media, content creation and communication-based roles.
  • Technological fields, networking, short travels for work.
  • Those who take initiative instead of waiting for others.

At the same time, Saturn in the 4th house can make you feel emotionally tired, sometimes carrying stress from home into the office. This may reduce satisfaction even when outer progress is happening.

Jupiter in the 7th house (till June 1) supports:

  • Good relations with bosses, partners and colleagues.
  • Success in client-facing roles, consulting and public relations.
  • New agreements, job contracts or collaborations that are beneficial.

When Jupiter becomes exalted in the 8th house (June 2 – October 30), career may involve:

  • Handling confidential matters, research, depth-analysis or crisis management.
  • Working in insurance, finance, tax, surgery, investigation or occult fields.
  • Going through intense phases at work that ultimately give you more respect and authority.

From October 31, when Jupiter moves to the 9th house, long-term career direction, dharma and purpose become clearer. You may:

  • Consider roles with teaching, mentoring, guidance or advisory responsibilities.
  • Plan higher studies or certifications that support career growth.
  • Feel more aligned with your inner truth in work decisions.

Job / Service (Employees)

If you are in service, especially in government, banking, IT, education, law or health sectors:

  • Use the first half of the year to build strong relationships and secure your position.
  • Expect some emotional tiredness and lack of peace at home – try not to let this spill over into office behaviour.
  • From late October, career paths linked with dharma, ethics, teaching or advisory roles become more visible.

Self-employed, freelancers & consultants

For self-employed and consulting Sagittarius natives, 2026 is powerful:

  • Rahu in 3rd gives immense energy for outreach, networking and content creation.
  • Exalted Jupiter in 8th supports clients who come in times of crisis and are willing to pay for deep, transformational work.
  • From late October, your reputation as a wise, principle-based professional grows.

Politicians, social workers & public figures

For politicians, activists and public figures:

  • Rahu in 3rd supports bold campaigning, mass communication and direct interaction with people.
  • Saturn in 4th may cause criticism about your base, your home region or emotional image.
  • From October 31 onwards, Jupiter in 9th can elevate your moral image and bring support from respected elders or institutions.

Business prospects for the year 2026 for Sagittarius sign (Dhanu Rashi)



For business owners, entrepreneurs and those running start-ups, 2026 is highly dynamic.

Rahu in the 3rd house favours:

  • Launching new products or services.
  • Aggressive marketing, online campaigns and experimentation.
  • Expanding your contact network and building a strong field team.

Saturn in the 4th house warns:

  • Do not expand faster than your base infrastructure can handle.
  • Be careful with office premises, leases, equipment, vehicles and property-related decisions.

  • Resolution of old tax, loan or insurance issues in your favour.
  • Access to funding, investors or credit at critical times.
  • Business opportunities involving research, crisis-management or depth-services.

A special, intense period is September 18 – November 12, when Mars is debilitated in the 8th house. Combined with exalted Jupiter (till October 30), this can indicate:

  • Stressful but ultimately favourable legal or financial settlements (Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga).
  • Situations where you must act calmly in financial or partnership crises.

Financial prospects for the year 2026 for Sagittarius sign (Dhanu Rashi)



Finances in 2026 are best handled with courage plus caution.

Rahu in the 3rd house supports:

  • Earnings through self-effort, side-hustles, online work and communication skills.

The main highlight is Jupiter exalted in the 8th house (June 2 – October 30), which can bring:

  • Unexpected gains from inheritance, insurance or spouse’s resources.
  • Successful restructuring or repayment of old loans.
  • Support in crisis situations, so that you land on your feet even after shocks.

However, Saturn in the 4th house may increase:

  • Expenses on home repairs, relocation or property issues.
  • Costs for mother’s health, comfort or support.

The period from September 18 to November 12, with debilitated Mars in the 8th, is not suitable for speculation or risky financial moves. Use this time for:

  • Resolving existing liabilities.
  • Strengthening insurance and safety nets.

  • Property-related stress, delays or disputes.
