Slow transits
Where Shani and Guru stand for you right now
Shani
Sade Sati is running — first phase
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. runs seven and a half years, not a lifetime. 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 the 12th from MeshaThe first rashi, Aries. Ruled by Mangal and a fire sign: it starts things, moves first, and would rather act than plan.: Sade Sati is the stretch while Shani crosses the 12th, 1st and 2nd from your rashiA sign, one twelfth of the zodiac. In Indian practice your rashi is the sign the Moon was in, not the Sun., and it is currently in its first phase. This is a position, not a verdict — it says where Shani is, not what will happen to you.
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 4th from MeshaThe first rashi, Aries. Ruled by Mangal and a fire sign: it starts things, moves first, and would rather act than plan. — not 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 singles out as supportive.
This rashi’s own nature
What kind of rashi Mesha is
Every rashi has a lord and an element. What makes Mesha a particular rashi is who else shares them. Simha and Dhanu are the other two fire rashis, and they stand at the 5th and the 9th from Mesha — on this wheel an element and a trikona are the same triangle.
Mars rules Vrischika as well, so those and Mesha answer to one graha — whatever Mars is doing in the sky, it is doing to both.

Moon sign, not sun sign
Is Mesha 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.
