Leo needs a careful step this week, in health, in money and in words. Ashtama Shani, the Dhaiya that began in March 2025, continues as Shani moves backwards through Pisces, your eighth house. Your ruler, the Sun, weakens in Libra from Saturday, while Rahu in your seventh complicates dealings with others.
Health Under Dhaiya
The eighth house governs the body’s hidden weak points. Retrograde Shani here can bring back an old complaint, such as recurring knee pain or a digestive problem. Get it checked rather than waiting.Keep Navratri fasting gentle. Fruit and milk suit anyone with a health history better than a strict nirjala fast.Sleep may suffer midweek while the Moon is weak in Scorpio, your fourth.
Money and Risky Deals
Shani in the eighth also governs money tied to other people. A friend’s business idea or an online scheme promising quick returns may come your way. Say no.Rahu in Aquarius, your seventh, makes partners and deals look better than they are. Read every agreement twice and avoid lending.Debilitated Mars with exalted Jupiter in your twelfth pushes festival spending. Set a cap and keep to it.
Avoid Arguments
Mercury and retrograde Venus already sit in Libra, your third house of speech, and the Sun joins them on Saturday. A weak Sun beside a backward Venus makes quick words sting.A sibling or neighbour may say something careless. Let it go. Arguments started this week tend to drag on under Ashtama Shani. Mercury reverses from 24 October, so avoid written disputes too.
Kalaratri on Saturday
Saturday is Saptami, devoted to Maa Kalaratri, and also Shani’s weekday. For Leo in Dhaiya, it is the best single day of the week for a remedy. Complete the puja first, then carry out the upay below.
Do’s for the Week
- Keep festival fasting gentle.
- Read every agreement twice.
Don’ts for the Week
- Avoid lending money or joining quick-return schemes.
- Do not reply to careless remarks from siblings or neighbours.
Shani Remedy for the Week
On Saturday evening, after the Kalaratri puja, serve a hot meal to a cleaner or a labourer. Hand it over with both hands and a respectful word. Shani governs those who do hard physical work, and honouring them on his own day is a simple upay that eases Dhaiya.
