The Stars of Makar, with the Moon and Planets Now

At 7:50 PM, the Moon is in Kumbh, outside this map; its next stay in Makar runs from 14 Nov, 4:41 PM (EST) to 17 Nov, 5:01 AM (EST). Also on this map: Rahu in Kumbh.

Makar as the 1st House: Where All Nine Grahas Are Now

Every house is counted from Makar, so this chart is Makar's gochar as it stands now. Positions at 7:50 PM, sidereal (Lahiri). The number in each house is its rashi: 1 for Mesh to 12 for Meen. R after a graha: retrograde.

Makar today: the Moon is in your 2nd all day, which the texts count supportive by reverse vedha, but it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted.

Star positions are worked out for the hour from the catalogue (proper motion, parallax and aberration), in the same sidereal frame as the planets, with Lahiri ayanamsa. For the 36 stars compared, Swiss Ephemeris's own star file agrees within 2.4 arc-seconds. The Moon and planets are placed as seen from the Earth's centre; from your own place the Moon can look up to about 1° away from its spot here. The figure lines are our own; each yogatara is given by at least two of the sources listed above.

Aaj ka Makar Rashifal · Capricorn Moon sign · Wednesday 21 October 2026

Makar Rashifal Today: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Makar rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Makar (मकर) is the 10th rashi, 270° to 300° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Saturn, and it holds Uttara Ashadha padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Shravana and Dhanishta padas 1 and 2. In English it is called Capricorn, 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 Makar and the classical verse behind it.

Mixed?

Wednesday 21 October: the Moon is in Kumbh, the 2nd sign from Makar, all day (until Friday 23 Oct, 5:34 AM). Classically, the Moon in your 2nd is unfavourable on its own (money matters), but with Mars and Jupiter in your 7th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), and it shares Kumbh with Rahu, so its support is muted.

Mixed. By our count for Makar today, of the 9 grahas: supportive 2, mixed 4, asking for patience 3; the Moon leads the day.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, Mercury in your 10th favours gains, while Rahu in your 2nd asks for care with money: keep an eye on spending. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

Classically, Jupiter in your 7th favours your partner's happiness, but Saturn in your 3rd holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back today, while Mars in your 7th asks for care with your partner: keep words gentle with your partner. Together they read as mixed.

Health?

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

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

Makar Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Makar rashi?

Saturn, the lord of Makar, is in Meen today, the 3rd house from Makar, until 2 Jun 2027, 7:58 PM. Saturn rules Makar in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Saturn also rules Kumbh.

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

Today, the Moon is in Kumbh; its next stay in Makar runs from 14 Nov, 4:41 PM (EST) to 17 Nov, 5:01 AM (EST): a child born in those hours has Makar as janma rashi. Makar's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Bho, Ja, Ji (Uttara Ashadha 2–4); Khi, Khu, Khe, Kho (Shravana 1–4); Ga, Gi (Dhanishta 1–2). A name starting with one of them gives Makar as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Makar rashi?

Today, the Moon is in Shatabhisha; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 14 Nov, 4:41 PM (EST). Makar covers 270° to 300° of the sidereal zodiac: Uttara Ashadha padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Shravana and Dhanishta padas 1 and 2, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Makar, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Makar rashi people like?

They are described as steady and good-natured, well liked, with a gift for poetry and words; careful with money, fond of travel, unhurried in pace and not fond of the cold. The texts also give them fine eyes. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.10, Saravali 23.65 and Hora Sara 29.10 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Makar 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 Makar rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Makar today: Saturn is in Meen, the 3rd house from Makar. The next dhaiya (kantaka, Saturn in the 4th) for Makar runs from 2 Jun 2027 to 16 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. 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 Makar rashi?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 2:33 AM, the 8th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 7:16 AM (EST), the 1st and 7th houses from Makar (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun 2027, 7:58 PM, the 4th house from Makar. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Makar, 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 Makar rashi in English?

Today, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Libra 28°16′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Tula 4°02′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Makar is called Capricorn 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 Capricorn need not have Makar rashi.

Held back (vedha)
A favourable transit obstructed by another graha in its vedha house.
Support muted
A favourable transit whose graha is debilitated, in an unfriendly sign or close to the Sun, so its support is counted as muted.
Mixed
The texts pull both ways (its own or exaltation sign while close to the Sun), or the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu shares a supportive Moon's sign, so the transit is counted neither supportive nor a time for patience.
A time for patience
A transit in a house the texts count unfavourable: a time for steady effort and simple plans.
Mixed
Our label for the day when the Moon is held back, muted or eased, or shares its sign with the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu.
Gochar (transit)
The movement of the grahas through the signs, read from your Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.1).
House (bhava)
The count of signs from your Moon sign; the Moon sign itself is the 1st.
Vedha (obstruction)
A favourable transit is held back while another graha sits in its paired house (Phaladeepika 26.3–8).
Reverse vedha (vama vedha)
A transit that asks for patience is counted supportive while another graha sits in its paired favourable house (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4; Narada Samhita 12.8).
The Moon's company
The grahas in the Moon's sign; the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu there mute a supportive Moon (Muhurta Chintamani 4.7; Brihat Samhita 104.56).
Bright half (Shukla paksha)
The waxing fortnight, from the new moon to the full moon; then the Moon is also counted supportive in the 2nd, 5th and 9th (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4; Narada Samhita 13.2).
Chandrabala
The Moon's strength for you, counted from your Moon sign: houses 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 are good.
Tarabala
The strength of the day's nakshatra for you, counted from your birth nakshatra in rounds of nine.
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.
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.
Supportive hours
The panchang's good windows for new work in your city, inside the hours when the Moon is supportive for your rashi.
Exalted (uchcha)
The sign where a graha is strongest (BPHS ch. 3).
Debilitated (neecha)
The sign opposite its exaltation, where a graha is weakest (BPHS ch. 3).
