After a month in debilitation, the Sun finally leaves Libra. It enters Scorpio at about 7:43 PM IST on 16 November 2026, marking Vrishchik Sankranti, and remains there until 10:25 AM on 16 December. For anyone who felt overlooked at work or weighed down by low confidence since mid-October, this shift brings visible relief.
Why This Sun Transit Is Stronger Than Usual
Scorpio is ruled by Mars, a close friend of the Sun, so the king of the planets moves into comfortable territory. But there is a more striking feature this year. Mars is sitting in Leo, the Sun’s own sign. With the Sun in Scorpio and Mars in Leo, the two planets exchange signs. This parivartan yoga runs for the entire month of the transit.Such an exchange makes both planets act as though they were in their own signs. The Sun gains authority and willpower, and Mars adds drive and courage. The combination supports leadership, government work, administration, defence, medicine and any role that demands decisive action. From 2 December, Mercury joins the Sun in Scorpio and forms Budhaditya Yoga, which sharpens judgement and communication during the second half of the month.
Scorpio
The Sun rules your tenth house of career and now moves into your own sign. Few placements are better for authority. Senior figures notice your work, and a leadership role or official recognition may come through. Confidence returns after a slow autumn. Keep ego in check with family, since a strong Sun in the ascendant can make you sound commanding even when you mean well.
Aquarius
The Sun moves through your tenth house, where it gains directional strength. This is among the strongest positions it can hold. Promotions, awards or a public role look likely. Government approvals and official documents move faster than expected. As the Sun also rules your seventh house, a spouse or business partner may contribute directly to your success.
Leo
Your ruling planet enters the fourth house, a kendra, while Mars sits in your sign with Jupiter. The exchange ties your personal ambition to home and property matters. Buying land, renovating the house or securing a vehicle loan becomes easier. Respect within the family grows, and a parent may support an important decision. Keep calm in heated moments, as Mars in your sign can still provoke sharp words.
Gemini
The Sun enters your sixth house, the area of competition, debts and service. In Vedic astrology, a malefic planet here helps a person defeat rivals. Candidates preparing for competitive or government exams can expect good results. Pending court cases may move in your favour. Health also improves as the Sun gains strength, provided routines stay regular.
Capricorn
The eleventh house of gains welcomes the Sun this month. Income from older efforts begins to arrive, and contacts with influential people widen. A senior official or a well-placed friend may open a door that seemed closed. The period favours fundraising, networking events and expanding a business. Old financial matters linked to inheritance or insurance may also settle, as the Sun rules your eighth house.
For Other Signs
Aries, Sagittarius and Pisces should watch health and avoid arguments with fathers or seniors this month. Taurus natives, who host the Sun in the seventh house, should handle partnerships patiently. Cancer, Virgo and Libra will find the month largely positive, though without major breakthroughs.
