Thursday 1 October 2026
The Stars of Makar, with the Moon and Planets on 1 Oct
At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Vrishabh, outside this map; its next stay in Makar runs from 18 Oct, 7:33 PM to 21 Oct, 7:01 AM. Also on this map: Rahu in Kumbh.
Makar as the 1st House: Where All Nine Grahas Are on 1 Oct
Every house is counted from Makar, so this chart is Makar's gochar on that day. Positions at 12:00 PM, sidereal (Lahiri). The number in each house is its rashi: 1 for Mesh to 12 for Meen. R after a graha: retrograde.
Makar on 1 Oct: the Moon is in your 5th all day, classically a house for patience but eased by its exaltation sign.

Abhijit, the 28th nakshatra of the older lists, 276°40′ to 280°53′: every source that names its star gives Vega (α Lyrae), far to the north of this map.
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 · Thursday 1 October 2026
Makar Rashifal for 1 Oct: 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?
Thursday 1 October: the Moon is in Vrishabh, the 5th sign from Makar, all day (until Friday 2 Oct, 3:41 PM). Classically, the Moon in your 5th asks for patience (slow progress in work), but Vrishabh is its exaltation sign, where the texts say it does not work against you, so it is counted as eased.
- Moon · 5th from Makar Muhurta Chintamani 4.1 · Phaladeepika 26.2 · Brihat Samhita 104.4
- Classical reading Brihat Samhita 104.8–10 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–4
- Exaltation sign: eased Phaladeepika 26.31 · Kalaprakashika 36.12
Mixed. By our count for Makar on 1 Oct, of the 9 grahas: supportive 2, mixed 3, asking for patience 4; 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.
- Mercury · 10th from Makar Phaladeepika 26.2 · Brihat Samhita 104.4 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–3
- Classical reading Phaladeepika 26.17 · Brihat Samhita 104.19–24
- Rahu · 2nd from Makar Phaladeepika 26.2 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1 · Kalaprakashika 36.10
- 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 on 1 Oct, while Mars in your 7th asks for care with your partner: keep words gentle with your partner. Together they read as mixed.
- Jupiter · 7th from Makar Phaladeepika 26.2 · Brihat Samhita 104.4 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–3
- Classical reading Phaladeepika 26.18–20 · Brihat Samhita 104.25–31
- Vedha: Saturn in 3rd Phaladeepika 26.3–8 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–3 · Narada Samhita 12.1–6
- Mars · 7th from Makar Phaladeepika 26.2 · Brihat Samhita 104.4 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–3
- Health?
No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 1 Oct, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Makar: Exact Dates
No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Makar now: Saturn is in Meen, your 3rd, until 3 Jun 2027. The next, dhaiya (4th, kantaka), runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030.

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 1 Oct, the 3rd house from Makar, until 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 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 1 Oct, the Moon is in Vrishabh; its next stay in Makar runs from 18 Oct, 7:33 PM to 21 Oct, 7:01 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 1 Oct, the Moon is in Rohini; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 18 Oct, 7:33 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?
Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Makar on 1 Oct: Saturn is in Meen, the 3rd house from Makar. The next dhaiya (kantaka, Saturn in the 4th) for Makar runs from 3 Jun 2027 to 17 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 20 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, 12:03 PM, the 8th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 5:46 PM, the 1st and 7th houses from Makar (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun 2027, 5:28 AM, 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?
On 1 Oct, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Libra 8°06′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 13°52′ 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.
