Every reading computed from where the grahas actually stand rather than written in advance. And it follows your moon sign, not the Western sun sign from your birthday.

Ruling grahaOne of the nine: the seven visible bodies plus Rahu and Ketu, the two lunar nodes. A graha is read as a force at work, not as a lump of rock.

Where the Moon is today

The Moon is in Kumbha

The Moon sits in your money and family corner today, quietly. A good day to sort the small stuff: the bill, the form, the easy conversation at home. Save the big money decision for a stronger day.

Shukla pakshaThe bright fortnight, new Moon to full, the Moon larger every night. Most beginnings, from opening a shop to a wedding, are put in this half., DwadashiThe twelfth tithi, and the day an Ekadashi fast is broken. Getting the hour of that paran right is one reason tithi timings are printed at all. tithiThe lunar day. It runs from one step of the Moon's phase to the next, so it rarely begins at sunrise. Fasts and festivals are fixed by it. is running. Positions read at 11:37 pm IST.

Go easy on your body today. Skip heavy food and late nights, and do not ignore a small niggle. A good day to move money into savings. What you put aside now, you will not miss. An ordinary day at home. Small chores and easy conversations, nothing dramatic. Do not test anyone today. If you want to know, ask plainly. A normal day at work. Clear the routine and do not expect fireworks. An ordinary day for free time. One episode, one chapter, one walk, and that is fine. Money between you can become an argument today. Look at the numbers together, not at each other.

Lucky number
6Venus’s number. The Moon is in your 2nd today, and the 2nd is Venus’s house.
Lucky colour
White and pinkfor Makara, the same Venus the number comes from. Yellow and saffron is the whole day’s colour, for everyone, because today is Jupiter’s day.
Remedy
Offer a sweet at a temple in both your names, and eat one meal together with no screens.For Venus, because Married Life is the weakest part of your day. Free, and nothing to buy.

The sentences, and the bars further down, are one score per area, from six things the day has: the Moon’s house from your rashi (the 2nd, which is money saved, and the family you eat with), the mood of the star the Moon is passing through, what the weekday is good for, and where Venus, Mars and Mercury stand from your rashi. The lucky number and colour belong to the graha whose house the Moon is standing in, so they differ for every rashi and move as she does. The remedy goes to whichever of the six areas scored worst, taking turns with anything standing over your rashi and with the lord of the day, so it is always something you can actually do this morning.

What today means for you

Four parts of life, read off the same Moon. Where the Moon is standing decides which of them today actually touches.

  • Love

    Love needs patience today rather than passion. Give it the boring kind of care.

    Love sits in your 5th and 7th houses. The Moon is in your 2nd today, which is not one of them.

  • Career

    Work runs at its usual pace. Finish what is on the table.

    Career sits in your 6th and 10th houses. The Moon is in your 2nd today, which is not one of them.

  • Money

    You can afford the thing you have been eyeing, but check the price in two shops first.

    Money sits in your 2nd and 11th houses. The Moon is in your 2nd today, which is one of them.

  • Health

    A bit of tiredness or a dull headache is possible. Rest before it becomes more.

    Health sits in your 1st and 6th and 8th houses. The Moon is in your 2nd today, which is not one of them.

Slow transits

Neither Sade SatiThe roughly seven and a half years Saturn takes to cross the sign before your Moon, your Moon sign itself, and the one after.

This rashi’s own nature

What kind of rashi Makara is

Every rashi has a lord and an element. What makes Makara a particular rashi is who else shares them. Vrishabha and Kanya are the other two earth rashis, and they stand at the 5th and the 9th from Makara — on this wheel an element and a trikona are the same triangle.

Saturn rules Kumbha as well, so those and Makara answer to one graha — whatever Saturn is doing in the sky, it is doing to both.

The other six need the nakshatraThe star the Moon is passing through.

Moon sign, not sun sign

Is Makara really your rashi?

Your rashi is your moon sign — where the Moon stood when you were born — not the Western sun sign from your birthday, and for most people the two are different.
