Rashi 10 of 12

MakaraA sign, one twelfth of the zodiac. In Indian practice your rashi is the sign the Moon was in, not the Sun.

Capricorn · The Crocodile

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.

Why we say this
Each day’s row is the Moon’s position at midday IST, read from the ephemeris, with the house counted from Makara and the verdict taken from the classical Chandra-gochar table. The Moon crosses a rashi roughly every two and a quarter days, so on a day it moves, the row shows where it stands at midday. The house themes are the standard bhava assignments, not editorial.

Slow transits

Where Shani and Guru stand for you right now

Shani

ShaniSaturn. Work, delay, discipline and old age. Nothing it gives arrives early, and very little of what it gives is ever taken back. is in MeenaThe twelfth and last rashi, Pisces. Ruled by Guru and a water sign: soft, imaginative and absorbent, it takes on whatever room it is in., the 3rd from MakaraThe tenth rashi, Capricorn. Ruled by Shani and an earth sign: patient, ambitious and unhurried, and it builds things meant to last.. 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. It asks for patience, not panic. nor DhaiyaThe lesser Saturn transit, two and a half years of it, running when Shani crosses the fourth or the eighth from your Moon. Sade Sati is the long one. is running for this rashiA sign, one twelfth of the zodiac. In Indian practice your rashi is the sign the Moon was in, not the Sun..

Guru

GuruJupiter. Wisdom, teachers, wealth and children, and the one graha whose glance on a house is read as help arriving rather than pressure. is in KarkaThe fourth rashi, Cancer. Ruled by Chandra and a water sign: attached to home and family, protective, and it feels everything first., the 7th from MakaraThe tenth rashi, Capricorn. Ruled by Shani and an earth sign: patient, ambitious and unhurried, and it builds things meant to last. one of the positions the classical gocharWhere the grahas are in the sky right now, read against your birth chart. Transits are what make one year feel unlike the last. table reads as supportive.

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.

Five points of the thirty six. of 5, twelve points between them, from the same engine that scores a full match. Brass reads easy, dim means the two lords are neutral at best, and vermilion marks a Bhakoot axis, which the texts treat as a point to examine rather than a bar.

The other six need the nakshatraThe star the Moon is passing through. There are twenty-seven, and yours decides your naming letter and much of a matching score. your Moon actually fell in, which needs a birth time — so read this as the shape of a pairing, not as a score. Match two kundlis properly.

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.
