Kumbh Rashifal for 27 Apr: 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.

3 of the 9 planets support · 6 need attention

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

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 17 Apr 2030 to 31 May 2032. 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

Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Vrishabh: from 18 Jun 2031 to 31 May 2032.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

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 27 Apr, the 4th house from Kumbh, until 31 May 2032, 3:01 AM. 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 27 Apr, the Moon is in Kumbh, from Friday 26 Apr, 11:51 AM to Sunday 28 Apr, 8:38 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 27 Apr, the Moon is in Shatabhisha, one of Kumbh's nakshatras, and in its pada 3 until 7:05 PM. 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 27 Apr: Saturn is in Vrishabh, the 4th house from Kumbh. It began on 8 Aug 2029 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 31 May 2032, with Saturn stepping out of it from 5 Oct 2029 to 17 Apr. 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?

Jupiter moves into Tula on Wednesday 1 May, 2:17 PM, the 9th house from Kumbh; Rahu moves into Tula and Ketu into Mesh on 9 Aug 2031, 12:32 PM, the 9th and 3rd houses from Kumbh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 31 Jul 2031); Saturn moves into Mithun on 31 May 2032, 3:01 AM, the 5th house from Kumbh. 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 27 Apr, at 5:53 PM, the Sun is in Taurus 7°17′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Mesh 13°01′ 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.

In the naming convention used here, dhaiya means Saturn's stay of about two and a half years in the 4th or the 8th house from your Moon sign.
Retrograde (vakri)
Seen from Earth the graha appears to move backwards; shown as a fact only, as the texts differ on its meaning in transit.
Direct (margi)
The graha moves forward again after a retrograde spell.
Combust (asta)
Sun's glare; support in a favourable house is considered muted (Phaladeepika 26.32). Jupiter and Venus: not seen from India's reference latitude, 23°11′N (Indian Astronomical Ephemeris); Mars, Mercury and Saturn: angular distances (Surya Siddhanta 9.6–9.8).
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.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.
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.
Unfriendly sign
A sign whose lord the graha naturally counts as hostile (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 3).
Work and Money
Our grouping: read from the 10th, 6th, 3rd, 11th, 2nd and 12th houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11).
Love and Family
Our grouping: read from the 7th, 4th and 2nd houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11).
Health
Our grouping: read from the 1st and 6th houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11).
What supports
A graha in a house the texts count favourable, with nothing holding it back, or counted supportive by reverse vedha (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4).
Points that call for patience
Every other graha, each with the fact that puts it there: a house the texts do not count favourable, vedha, a debilitation or unfriendly sign, combustion, its own or exaltation sign in an unfavourable house, the Moon's company, or Chandrashtama.
House meaning
What each house stands for (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11): 1 self and body, 2 family, wealth and speech, 3 courage and siblings, 4 mother, home and happiness, 5 children, education and intelligence, 6 health, work and competition, 7 marriage and partnership, 8 research and hidden matters, 9 fortune, dharma and father, 10 career and karma, 11 gains and friends, 12 expenses, foreign lands and moksha.
