Aaj ka Makar Rashifal · Capricorn Moon sign · Wednesday 26 September 2029

Makar Rashifal for 26 Sep: 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.

4 of the 9 planets support · 5 need attention

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

The Moon in Mesh, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), until Thursday 27 Sep, 1:57 AM: classically not a favourable house, but with Jupiter and Venus in your 10th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so the texts count it supportive; classical reading: a restless mind.

Mercury in Singh, your 8th (research and hidden matters), until 4 Oct, 9:45 AM: classically a favourable house; classical reading: children and gains.

Venus in Tula, your 10th (career and karma), until Monday 1 Oct, 7:29 PM: classically not a favourable house, but with the Moon in your 4th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so the texts count it supportive; classical reading: friction and standing at work.

Saturn in Vrishabh, your 5th (children, education and intelligence), until 5 Oct, 7:23 AM: classically not a favourable house, but with Mars in your 11th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so the texts count it supportive; classical reading: children and money.

The Sun in Kanya, your 9th (fortune, dharma and father), until 17 Oct, 4:55 AM: classically not a favourable house; classical reading: obstacles and a tired mind.

Mars in Vrishchik, your 11th (gains and friends), until 27 Oct, 3:36 AM: classically a favourable house, but Saturn in your 5th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: gains, standing and good health.

Jupiter in Tula, your 10th, until 24 Jan 2030, 3:25 PM (EST): classically not a favourable house, but with the Sun in your 9th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), and Jupiter is in Tula, whose lord Venus is not its natural friend, so its support is muted; classical reading: changes at work and money.

Rahu in Dhanu, your 12th (expenses, foreign lands and moksha), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically not a favourable house; classical reading: spending.

Ketu in Mithun, your 6th (health, work and competition), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically a favourable house, but the Sun in your 9th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back; classical reading: gains.

Unchanged since yesterday: the Moon has been in Mesh, your 4th, since Monday 24 Sep, 1:07 PM; the latest change since then was Mercury turning direct (Monday 24 Sep, 10:02 PM), and no graha changed sign, direction or combustion yesterday or on 26 Sep.

Ketu in Mithun, your 6th (health, work and competition), until 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST): classically favourable for gains, but the Sun in your 9th holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Makar: 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.

Dhaiya for Makar is paused: Saturn is in Vrishabh, your 5th, until 5 Oct 2029. The whole dhaiya ends on 16 Apr 2030.

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

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 5th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next dhaiya (8th house) 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 Vrishabh on 26 Sep, the 5th house from Makar, until 5 Oct, 7:23 AM. 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 26 Sep, the Moon is in Mesh; its next stay in Makar runs from 14 Oct, 12:23 PM to 16 Oct, 8:37 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 26 Sep, the Moon is in Bharani; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 14 Oct, 12:23 PM. 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?

The dhaiya (4th house) for Makar is paused on 26 Sep: Saturn is in Vrishabh, the 5th house from Makar, and returns on 5 Oct. The whole span runs from 2 Jun 2027 to Saturn's final exit on 16 Apr 2030. The next dhaiya (8th house) 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 Mesh on 5 Oct, 7:23 AM, the 4th house from Makar; Jupiter moves into Vrishchik on 24 Jan 2030, 3:25 PM (EST), the 11th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Vrishchik and Ketu into Vrishabh on 4 Feb 2030, 2:38 AM (EST), the 11th and 5th houses from Makar (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 10 Jan 2030). 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 26 Sep, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Libra 3°51′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 9°34′ 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.

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.
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
A sign whose lord the graha naturally counts as hostile (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 3).

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.
