Short answer
Change jobs when you hold a written offer that genuinely fixes what is wrong now and you have savings to absorb a rough start. Astrology helps with timing, not with whether the employer is right. Mercury is retrograde until 13 November 2026, a traditional cue to read contracts twice, so signing or resigning can wait a few days if needed.
How ChiChakra reads this
Astrologers judge a job change from the 10th house (career), the 6th house (the daily job) and the running Dasha; a change of Dasha often coincides with a change of direction. From your Moon sign, Saturn's house shows where things feel heavy and Jupiter's shows where doors open. Jupiter in Simha, as of November 2026, is traditionally encouraging for Kataka, Mesha, Kumbha, Dhanus and Tula.
Deciding now or later
Write down the three main reasons you want to leave and check whether the new role actually fixes them. Compare pay, duties, probation, notice period and flexibility side by side.
If the offer is real and good, a so-so transit is no reason to turn it down. If there is no offer yet, start applying quietly rather than resigning.
When you have a choice of dates, sign on a day outside Rahu Kalam and your Chandrashtama days (when the Moon is 8th from your Moon sign).
