Libra Shani Horoscope Today, 20 October 2026: Vijayadashami with Moon favours new learning and creative starts

Vijayadashami is a traditional day to begin learning, and Libra is well placed to use it. In many homes, especially in the South, children write their first letters in rice on this day, a ritual called Vidyarambham. From the afternoon the Moon enters Aquarius, your fifth house of study and creativity, in Dhanishta nakshatra. Aquarius belongs to Shani, your yogakaraka, which rules this fifth house and sits retrograde in your sixth.Vidyarambham and the Fifth-House MoonThe fifth house governs education and creative work. With the Moon here on the day of victory, begin a course you have postponed, such as a language or music class. Write the first page of a journal or a sketchbook today.Place your books before the goddess in the morning and take them back after the Vijayadashami puja.Rahu Adds Fresh IdeasRahu also sits in Aquarius, so ideas may arrive fast and feel unusual.
