Bharat Milap, the reunion of Rama and his brother Bharata after fourteen years of exile, is celebrated the day after Dussehra, and its theme suits Aries well this Wednesday. The Moon spends the day in Aquarius, your eleventh house of friends and elder siblings, moving into Shatabhisha nakshatra. Mercury, the natural significator of siblings, rules the day. Retrograde Shani continues to hold your twelfth.




Bharat Milap and Family TiesThe meeting of Rama and Bharata is remembered for its humility. Bharata had ruled only as a caretaker, keeping Rama’s sandals on the throne.




For Aries, the day favours mending ties with a brother or sister you have drifted from. Call first rather than waiting for them.




Moon in the Eleventh and Old FriendsThe eleventh house brings friends and gains. An old friend may reach out after a long gap, or a reunion with college mates could happen.




Shatabhisha, ruled by Rahu, favours groups and networks. A chat group from years ago may suddenly come alive. The Moon also sits with Rahu in Aquarius, so expectations can run high. Keep plans simple.




Mercury’s Day and the Seventh HouseMercury, slowing before it turns on 24 October, shares Libra, your seventh, with a weakened Sun and a hidden Venus. If you rush, you may misread words with a spouse, so speak slowly.




Arrange reunions by message today, before communication gets messier after the 24th.




Home, Hosting and RestExalted Jupiter in your fourth keeps the home welcoming for visiting siblings. Debilitated Mars there may still cause friction over hosting duties.




Retrograde Shani in your twelfth warns against overdoing festival socialising. A short meeting can mean as much as a long party.




Do’s for Today

• Call a sibling you have drifted from.


• Plan reunions by message before 24 October.

Don’ts for Today

• Avoid setting high expectations for reunions.


• Do not argue over hosting duties.

Shani Remedy for TodayVisit a sibling or cousin who lives alone and help with their chores. Share a festive meal with a family of migrant labourers who are away from home.
