Great question! In Vedic Astrology, a Weekly Horoscope is not random or vague — it’s a compact forecast based on planetary transits, Moon movement, and their influence on each Lagna or Moon Sign. Here’s how it’s calculated:

🧠 How Weekly Horoscopes Are Calculated in Vedic Astrology

🪐 1. Transit of Major Planets (Gochar)

Each week, astrologers track the movement of key planets — especially:

• Moon (fastest) – transits approx. 2.5 days per sign
• Sun, Mercury, Venus – minor shifts week-to-week
• Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, Ketu – longer-term but their aspects and degrees matter

Example:
If Mars moves from Gemini to Cancer this week, its results shift for all 12 signs based on house placement from the Lagna or Moon.

🌙 2. Moon’s Position & Nakshatra

The Moon’s transit is crucial because:

• It affects mood, mental state, and daily experience
• It determines Panchang elements like Tithi, Yoga, Karana, Nakshatra
• Weekly horoscopes often revolve around how the Moon influences your chart

Example:
Moon in Scorpio this week? Emotional intensity for all, but especially impactful for Taurus Moon/Lagna (7th house transit).

🔭 3. Lagna-Based or Moon-Sign-Based Forecast

Horoscopes are usually written for:

• Moon Sign (Chandra Rashi) – more emotional and internal experience
• Ascendant (Lagna) – more external and situational events

Some astrologers provide both.

📉 4. Planetary Aspects (Drishti)

Vedic astrology uses full and special aspects:

• Saturn: 3rd, 7th, 10th
• Jupiter: 5th, 7th, 9th
• Mars: 4th, 7th, 8th

Weekly effects are shaped by who is casting aspects and on which house for each sign.

📅 5. Retrograde/Combust/Conjunction Events

If a planet turns retrograde, becomes combust, or conjuncts another, it changes the weekly flavor.

Example:
Mercury combust with Sun = miscommunication
Venus conjunct Ketu = confusion in relationships or aesthetics

🗂️ Example: Weekly Horoscope Snapshot

For Leo Lagna this week:

• Mars moves to 12th house = expenses may rise
• Moon in 2nd house = focus on family/finance mid-week
• Saturn aspects 10th = pressure at work, delays possible
• Mercury retro = rethink decisions made recently
