Makar Rashifal for 20 Jan: 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.

Aaj ka Makar Rashifal · Capricorn Moon sign

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Makar: Exact 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.

No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Makar now: Saturn is in Meen, your 3rd, until 2 Jun 2027. The next, dhaiya (4th), runs from 2 Jun 2027 to 16 Apr 2030.

The next dhaiya (Saturn in the 4th) for Makar runs from 2 Jun to 16 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029.

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.

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 on 20 Jan, the 3rd house from Makar, until 2 Jun, 7:58 PM (EDT). 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?

On 20 Jan, the Moon is in Mithun; its next stay in Makar runs from 4 Feb, 11:48 AM to 7 Feb, 12:07 AM: 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?

On 20 Jan, the Moon is in Ardra; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 4 Feb, 11:48 AM. 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 on 20 Jan: Saturn is in Meen, the 3rd house from Makar. The next dhaiya (Saturn in the 4th) for Makar runs from 2 Jun to 16 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct 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 Kark on Sunday 24 Jan, 3:01 PM, the 7th house from Makar; Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun, 7:58 PM (EDT), the 4th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 5:38 AM (EDT), the 12th and 6th houses from Makar (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 23 Jun 2028). 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?

On 20 Jan, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Aquarius 0°24′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Makar 6°10′ 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.

Our grouping: read from the 1st and 6th houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (BPHS 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).
What needs attention
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.
