Some People Are Like the Shakuni of Mahabharat – Leo Ascendant (Simha Lagna) May 2026 Horoscope
“Some people are like the Shakuni of Mahabharat. They laugh with you, but they play against you.”
Yes, dear friends, Leo natives must pay special attention to this in May. Someone like a Shakuni may be entering your life. Someone may be casting an evil eye on you. Rahu is in your 7th house and Ketu is in your 1st house (Lagna). This indicates that some Shakuni is orchestrating a whole game of Mahabharat against you, watching your every move. Ketu in Lagna and Rahu in the 7th house is very powerful – Ketu in Magha Nakshatra and Rahu in Shatabhisha Nakshatra. For Leo ascendant, caution is needed here.
In May, I will tell you about other planets and also about signs of gain. But you need to pay special attention to these two factors (Rahu and Ketu). I said – some people are like Shakuni. They laugh with you, but they play against you. That person could be anyone – your friend, your partner, or even your neighbour. Someone is conspiring against you.
Let us begin and see what the planetary positions from May 1 to May 30 bring for you. Where you need to be careful, and where you need to act. Where you need to keep an eye on people like Shakuni. Because in May, some planets will be extremely positive for you and will bring gains. But at some places, caution is also needed. We will discuss all of this, not missing a single planet, and also share some remedies that you must do. If you do these, then by God’s grace, all your tasks will be accomplished.
Before starting, let me introduce myself. I am Pandit R.K. Pathak, and you are watching your own YouTube channel, “All Bela Rashi”.
Planetary Positions for Leo Ascendant in May 2026
- Ketu in Magha Nakshatra – in your 1st house (Lagna)
- Rahu in your 7th house (Shatabhisha Nakshatra)
- Saturn & Mercury in your 8th house
- Mars & Sun in your 9th house
- Venus in your 10th house (lord of the centre)
- Jupiter in your 11th house (gains)
Important changes in May:
- May 11, 2026 – Mars moves out of its conjunction with Saturn and enters its own exalted sign (Aries) – its own house. Venus also remains in its own sign.
- May 2 onwards – Venus moves into Rohini Nakshatra.
- Jupiter and Saturn are both moving direct (Margi).
- Mercury is moving retrograde (Asta) – the giver of speech and finance is moving backwards. This position is existing.
- Rahu in Shatabhisha Nakshatra, Ketu in Lagna.
Ketu in Lagna (1st House) – Magha Nakshatra
Ketu in Lagna, especially in Magha Nakshatra, will make your thinking very analytical. You will find logic in every small matter. If any family member says something, you will find faults and try to go into its depth. Ketu is the giver of this. Ketu here makes you examine everything deeply before acting. However, this will increase your tendency to doubt. You will start doubting everything because Ketu is the factor for suspicion. Being in Magha Nakshatra, it becomes even more powerful.
It is good that you are analyzing and examining things before acting. But excessive suspicion or pressuring others will become harmful. Your mental pressure will increase. Your sleep will be disturbed. Restlessness will increase in your mind. You must control this. Ketu in Magha Nakshatra can create such a daily routine and mental state where you overthink everything. You need to manage this carefully.
Rahu in 7th House – Shatabhisha Nakshatra
Rahu is in your 7th house (house of spouse, partners, marriage, and business). The 7th house is the factor for marriage, partners, and partnerships. Rahu here will disturb relationships, create friction, and increase mutual disagreements. I have already said – Rahu and Ketu together increase the scope of suspicion. I will also tell you remedies to control them.
Differences can arise between husband and wife. There can be friction in relationships because Rahu is very powerful now. The lord of your sign, Sun, is sitting in a certain place. See how Saturn and Sun relate – they are always incompatible. Rahu sits in Saturn’s house (Aquarius) and Ketu sits in Sun’s house (Leo) – they are opposite. Therefore, distances between you and your spouse may increase.
If you try to control someone too much or suspect them – whether in business or any other matter – you need to be careful. Do not try to control everything. You may face defeat because suspicion will increase to the point that relationships will break. I said – that Shakuni is playing his role. Rahu is doing this. That Shakuni is creating obstacles in your work and spoiling your relationships.
Rahu is Maya (illusion). Apart from that, Rahu aspects your Lagna, while Ketu is already present there. This indicates that you need to work on yourself. Do not get lost in the world’s opinions. Do not think too much about what the world is doing. Focus on your own work. Take care of your family. Do not shout at anyone unnecessarily. Do not get angry without reason – even when there is no cause. In May, you need to pay attention to these things.
Saturn in 8th House – Mercury Debilitated
Saturn is sitting in your 8th house. Mercury has become debilitated there. Mercury becomes debilitated in the 8th house (Pisces). So your speech is not very sweet at this time. Your words have become harsh. You are spewing fire. Whoever you talk to feels that your behaviour has changed. Why are you reacting with anger on every matter? Your words are like arrows that pierce others. Because Mercury is debilitated, you must control your speech in May.
Whether you are in a job, business, at home, or anywhere – whether man or woman – you need to work on your speech. Focus on God’s devotion. Speak very calmly. Also, the effect of Saturn’s Dhaiya (Saturn’s transit over the 4th and 8th houses) is also on Leo sign. Do not forget that. Saturn sitting in your 8th house (house of longevity and health) can create some health concerns. Pay special attention to this.
Mars & Sun Conjunction in 9th House – Great Fortune
Now let us move ahead and see the conjunction of Mars and Sun. Your fortune is working very well here. Young friends who are preparing for jobs or want to achieve a new milestone – you will definitely get it. Because Sun is with Mars. Both planets are of fire element and they are sitting in your 9th house (house of fortune). You are getting great support from fortune.
Whether you are in business, job, sports, or politics – Leo natives are receiving great support from fortune. Promotions, transfers, and all such things are coming to you. Because Mars has become strong in its own sign (Aries) and Sun is sitting with it until May 15. Mars enters on May 11, and both planets will sit together until May 15. After May 15, Sun will move into your 10th house and become the 10th lord until June 15.
So Sun is getting a very good position. For those whose birth charts already have Sun well-placed, you will see very good changes in the political field. Possibilities of position elevation in the political field are clearly forming. Whether in politics, government job, or private job – you are getting very good opportunities. Your progress is certain. There is no doubt because Sun is the indicator for all these.
Both fire planets together are doubling your fortune. Mars becomes very strong from May 11 onwards. If you want to buy or sell land, vehicle, house, or property – this conjunction in the 9th house (Jupiter’s house) indicates that fortune is supporting you. Some stuck money may be recovered or its chances are increasing. There may be an auspicious function in the family. Also, Mars aspects your 12th house, so if there was any health issue, Mars is controlling it.
Overall, this conjunction indicates that it is a good time for your job and business. From May 1 to May 30, this conjunction will strengthen your position. Inflow of money will increase. Money will come into the household, and there will be happiness in the family because of these planets.
After May 15, when Sun transits and becomes the 10th lord (of career), it will form a very powerful yoga for job, business, and political fields. But you need to come out of mental stress. You need to work on that “Shakuni” factor.
Venus in Own Sign (10th House)
Venus is also in its own sign (Taurus) from May 2 to May 17. It is sitting in its own house – a very strong position. For those in engineering, IT sector, high positions, or police/administrative fields – you may get promotions, transfers, good results from the government, happiness in family, and may buy something for yourself. Venus is also the factor for luxury and indulgence.
Relationships with your loved one will get closer. If there have been frequent fights between you and your partner, Venus is now increasing the love. Venus aspects the 7th house (marriage and partnerships) and also increases happiness in the house of comfort. This means you may buy luxury items, expensive goods, or comfortable things for your family. Venus is the factor for luxury lifestyle and also for marriage.
If you are planning marriage, fixing dates, or improving your marital relationships – Venus is increasing your happiness and comfort.
Jupiter in 11th House (Gains)
Jupiter is sitting in your 11th house (house of income and gains). If you are trying to earn money through unfair means, put a brake on that. Jupiter is fair and just. If you follow the righteous path, Jupiter will give you gains. Jupiter will remain here until June 2 (I will explain in the next month’s video). Then Jupiter will move to an exalted position, bringing very big offers that will completely change your life. Jupiter is a friend of your sign (Leo). Sun and Jupiter get along very well.
