Aaj ka Kumbh Rashifal · Aquarius Moon sign · Saturday 29 September 2029

Kumbh Rashifal for 29 Sep: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Kumbh rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Kumbh (कुंभ) is the 11th rashi, 300° to 330° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Saturn, and it holds Dhanishta padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada padas 1 to 3. In English it is called Aquarius, but here it means the sign the Moon was in at your birth, not your birthday sign. Every line below names its graha, the house that graha holds from Kumbh and the classical verse behind it.

2 of the 9 planets support · 7 need attention

The day's main graha: the Moon (in the attention list).

Venus in Tula, your 9th (fortune, dharma and father), until Tuesday 2 Oct, 4:59 AM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: happiness and money.

Rahu in Dhanu, your 11th (gains and friends), until 4 Feb 2030, 1:08 PM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: gains.

The Moon in Vrishabh, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 11:43 PM: classically not a favourable house, but with Mars in your 10th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), and it shares Vrishabh with Saturn, so its support is muted; classical reading: a restless mind.

The Sun in Kanya, your 8th (research and hidden matters), until 17 Oct, 2:25 PM: classically not a favourable house.

Mars in Vrishchik, your 10th (career and karma), until 27 Oct, 1:06 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Vrishchik is its own sign, where the texts say it does not work against you.

Mercury in Singh, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until Thursday 4 Oct, 7:15 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: friction.

Jupiter in Tula, your 9th, until 25 Jan 2030, 1:55 AM: classically a favourable house, but Mars in your 10th holds it back (vedha), and Jupiter is in Tula, whose lord Venus is not its natural friend, so its support is held back; classical reading: success and children.

Saturn in Vrishabh, your 4th, until Friday 5 Oct, 4:53 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: home and relatives.

Ketu in Mithun, your 5th (children, education and intelligence), until 4 Feb 2030, 1:08 PM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: low spirits.

The day changes at 11:43 PM, when the Moon moves into Mithun; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Work and Money: Rahu supports; Mars needs attention.

Rahu in Dhanu, your 11th (gains and friends), until 4 Feb 2030, 1:08 PM: classically favourable for gains.

Mars in Vrishchik, your 10th (career and karma), until 27 Oct, 1:06 PM: classically not a favourable house, but Vrishchik is its own sign, where the texts say it does not work against you; the texts name no separate result of it for work and money.

Love and Family?

Love and Family: the Moon, Mercury and Saturn need attention.

The Moon in Vrishabh, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until 11:43 PM: classically not a favourable house, but with Mars in your 10th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), and it shares Vrishabh with Saturn, so its support is muted; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family.

Mercury in Singh, your 7th (marriage and partnership), until Thursday 4 Oct, 7:15 PM: classically not favourable for relationships.

Saturn in Vrishabh, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until Friday 5 Oct, 4:53 PM: classically not favourable for home and relatives.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 29 Sep, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Kumbh: Calculated Dates

Sade Sati is Saturn's passage through the 12th, 1st and 2nd signs from the Moon sign, about seven and a half years. Dhaiya is Saturn's passage through the 4th or 8th sign from the Moon sign, about two and a half years.

Shani's dhaiya (4th) for Kumbh: Saturn is in Vrishabh, your 4th, from 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. The whole dhaiya runs from 8 Aug 2029 to 31 May 2032, with a pause from 5 Oct 2029 to 17 Apr 2030. Traditionally this passage is a time for steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • dhaiya Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 4th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next dhaiya (8th house) for Kumbh runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 26 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 and 28 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041.

Counted from the Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 do. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown. Classically it is a time for steady effort and patience, not a fixed outcome.

  • Lord: every classical text we read gives Saturn. Some modern writers add Rahu as a co-lord of Kumbh; no text we read says so, so it is not used here.

A name rashi is the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra's syllable. Each fact is given in at least two classical texts, and where the texts differ both readings are shown. Left out: the element (tattva), which only one of the texts we read gives (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4); and any colour, number or stone for a rashi, which none of them ties to good fortune.

Questions

Kumbh Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Kumbh rashi?

Saturn, the lord of Kumbh, is in Vrishabh on 29 Sep, the 4th house from Kumbh, until Friday 5 Oct, 4:53 PM. Saturn rules Kumbh in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Saturn also rules Makar.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Kumbh rashi?

On 29 Sep, the Moon is in Vrishabh; its next stay in Kumbh runs from 17 Oct, 6:07 AM to 19 Oct, 4:46 PM: a child born in those hours has Kumbh as janma rashi. Kumbh's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Gu, Ge (Dhanishta 3–4); Go, Sa, Si, Su (Shatabhisha 1–4); Se, So, Da (Purva Bhadrapada 1–3). A name starting with one of them gives Kumbh as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Kumbh rashi?

On 29 Sep, the Moon is in Mrigashira; its next pass through Kumbh begins in Dhanishta pada 3, from 17 Oct, 6:07 AM. Kumbh covers 300° to 330° of the sidereal zodiac: Dhanishta padas 3 and 4, all four padas of Shatabhisha and Purva Bhadrapada padas 1 to 3, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Kumbh, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Kumbh rashi people like?

The texts agree mainly on build: a tall, sturdy frame with broad hips and strong legs. Two of them also describe a liking for travel and the stamina for long journeys. On temperament they say different things, so only these shared points are given. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.11, Saravali 23.72 and Hora Sara 29.11 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Kumbh and its lord Saturn are all strong in the birth chart, and Hora Sara 29.13 that a graha joining or aspecting the Moon changes it, so your own kundli says more than the rashi alone.

When do Sade Sati and Shani dhaiya start and end for Kumbh rashi?

Shani dhaiya is running for Kumbh on 29 Sep: Saturn is in Vrishabh, the 4th house from Kumbh. It began on 8 Aug and ends with Saturn's final exit on 31 May 2032, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Oct to 17 Apr 2030. The next dhaiya (8th house) for Kumbh runs from 22 Oct 2038 to 26 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Apr 2039 to 13 Jul 2039 and 28 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041. Each span runs from Saturn's first entry to its final exit, with every pause shown, and is counted from the Moon sign as Phaladeepika 26.22–23 and Brihat Samhita 104 count it. Classically Sade Sati and dhaiya ask for steady effort and patience; neither is a fixed outcome.

When does the time change for Kumbh rashi?

Saturn moves into Mesh on Friday 5 Oct, 4:53 PM, the 3rd house from Kumbh; Jupiter moves into Vrishchik on 25 Jan 2030, 1:55 AM, the 10th house from Kumbh; Rahu moves into Vrishchik and Ketu into Vrishabh on 4 Feb 2030, 1:08 PM, the 10th and 4th houses from Kumbh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 11 Jan 2030). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Kumbh, and each change above names the house it brings. The daily reading on this page weighs all nine grahas together, and no rashi has a good or a poor time as a whole.

What is Kumbh rashi in English?

On 29 Sep, at 11:52 AM, the Sun is in Libra 6°24′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 12°07′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Kumbh is called Aquarius in English, yet a rashi is the Moon's sign at birth in the sidereal zodiac, not the birthday sign, so someone whose birthday makes them Aquarius need not have Kumbh rashi.

Seen from Earth the graha appears to move backwards; shown as a fact only, as the texts differ on its meaning in transit.
Felt most
The third of a sign in which a graha's transit is classically felt most: the Sun and Mars the first, Jupiter and Venus the middle, the Moon and Saturn the last (Phaladeepika 26.25; Muhurta Chintamani 4.19).
Mean-node reckoning
Rahu and Ketu by their average motion, which many almanacs print; its dates can differ from the true node by days.
Panchang windows in your Chandrabala
Abhijit, Amrit Kalam, Brahma Muhurta, Vijaya or a Labh, Shubh or Amrit choghadiya, clear of Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Dur Muhurtam, Varjyam and Bhadra, inside the hours when the Moon is in the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th or 11th from your Moon sign.
Exalted (uchcha)
The sign where a graha is considered strongest in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 3.
Debilitated (neecha)
The sign opposite its exaltation, where a graha is considered weakest in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 3.
Own sign (swarashi)
A sign the graha rules (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 3).
Unfriendly sign

What supports

Points that call for patience
