Libra Shani Horoscope Today, 23 October 2026: Venus combust and retro, Shukra Pradosh fast restores energy
Libra has been running on low energy since Venus slipped into the Sun’s glare, and this Friday offers a way to recharge. Venus, your ruler, is retrograde and combust on your lagna, very close to the Sun and a stationary Mercury. Friday’s Pradosh, falling on Venus’s own day, is known as Shukra Pradosh, and fasting for it is believed to support a weakened Venus. The Moon sits with Shani, your yogakaraka, in Pisces, your sixth house of health.
A Combust Ruler on the LagnaWhen the lord of your sign hides in the Sun’s rays, vitality and confidence both dip. You may feel overlooked at work or less attractive than usual, though others see no change.
Venus regains visibility around the end of the month, and its retrograde ends in mid-November. Until then, conserve energy.
The Shukra Pradosh FastKeep a light fast from morning until the twilight puja. Fruit and a little milk are enough.
At Pradosh kaal, offer white flowers and sandal paste to Shiva and Parvati, praying for health and harmony. Break the fast with a simple, sattvic meal.
Moon and Shani in the SixthShani, your yogakaraka, in the sixth with the Moon makes discipline your best medicine. A short morning walk and an early night support recovery.
Exalted Jupiter’s aspect on Pisces from your tenth adds protection. Debilitated Mars there warns against overwork.
