Makar Rashifal for 4 Jul: 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.

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.

Shani's dhaiya (4th) for Makar: Saturn is in Mesh, your 4th, from 2 Jun 2027 to 19 Oct 2027. The whole dhaiya runs from 2 Jun 2027 to 16 Apr 2030, with a pause from 19 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028 and from 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. Traditionally this passage rewards 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 (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Makar runs from 27 Aug 2036 to 12 Jul 2039, with Saturn stepping out of it from 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039.

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 Mesh on 4 Jul, the 4th house from Makar, until 19 Oct, 9:42 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?

On 4 Jul, the Moon is in Mithun; its next stay in Makar runs from 18 Jul, 8:34 AM to 20 Jul, 9:34 PM: 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 4 Jul, the Moon is in Punarvasu; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 18 Jul, 8:34 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?

Shani dhaiya (Saturn in the 4th) is running for Makar on 4 Jul: Saturn is in Mesh, the 4th house from Makar. It began on 2 Jun and ends with Saturn's final exit on 16 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct to 23 Feb 2028 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Makar runs from 27 Aug 2036 to 12 Jul 2039, with Saturn stepping out of it from 22 Oct 2038 to 5 Apr 2039. 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?

Saturn moves into Meen on 19 Oct, 9:42 PM, the 3rd house from Makar; Jupiter moves into Kanya on 26 Nov, 8:15 AM (EST), the 9th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 5:38 AM, 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 4 Jul, at 9:16 AM, the Sun is in Cancer 12°22′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Mithun 18°07′ 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.

Mars
One of the nine grahas: energy, courage and effort.
Mercury
One of the nine grahas: speech, learning and trade.
Jupiter
One of the nine grahas: wisdom, children and growth.
Venus

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).
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.
Shani's dhaiya
Saturn's stay of about two and a half years in the 4th or the 8th 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.
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.
Debilitated (neecha)
The sign opposite its exaltation, where a graha is weakest (BPHS ch. 3).
Own sign (swarashi)
A sign the graha rules (BPHS ch. 3).
Unfriendly sign
A sign whose lord the graha naturally counts as hostile (BPHS 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 (BPHS ch. 11).
Love and Family

Health
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).
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.
