Monday 25 October 2027
The Stars of Makar, with the Moon and Planets on 25 Oct
At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Singh, outside this map; its next stay in Makar runs from 4 Nov, 10:07 PM to 7 Nov, 11:00 AM. Also on this map: Rahu in Makar.
Makar as the 1st House: Where All Nine Grahas Are on 25 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 25 Oct: the Moon is in your 8th (research and hidden matters) all day (Needs attention: Chandrashtama); 3 of the 9 planets support, 6 need attention.

The nakshatras on this map and their yogataras
- Purva Ashadha 253°20′ to 266°40′ Yogatara: Kaus Media (δ Sagittarii) · outside this map. Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860, Calendar Reform Committee 1955, Pingree and Morrissey 1989 and Colebrooke 1807. Under Lahiri, this star lies outside its nakshatra's own 13°20′ stretch.
- Uttara Ashadha 266°40′ to 280°00′ Yogatara: Nunki (σ Sagittarii) · outside this map. Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860, Calendar Reform Committee 1955 and Pingree and Morrissey 1989. Colebrooke 1807 reads it as τ Sagittarii. Under Lahiri, this star lies outside its nakshatra's own 13°20′ stretch.
- Shravana 280°00′ to 293°20′ Yogatara: Altair (α Aquilae). Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860, Calendar Reform Committee 1955, Pingree and Morrissey 1989 and Colebrooke 1807. Under Lahiri, this star lies outside its nakshatra's own 13°20′ stretch.
- Dhanishta 293°20′ to 306°40′ Yogatara: Rotanev (β Delphini). Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860 and Calendar Reform Committee 1955. Pingree and Morrissey 1989 reads it as α Delphini. Under Lahiri, this star lies outside its nakshatra's own 13°20′ stretch.
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 · Monday 25 October 2027
Makar Rashifal for 25 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.

Your Supportive Hours in Delhi
None offered for new starts; the reason is inside
The 25 Oct panchang windows fall inside Chandrashtama, a time to go gently, so none is offered for new starts; routine work is fine, and the panchang's windows are listed for reference.
The panchang's windows for new work in Delhi (for reference)
from 6:26 AM to 7:52 AM · from 9:16 AM to 10:41 AM · from 12:05 PM to 12:27 PM · from 1:55 PM to 2:42 PM · from 4:18 PM to 5:42 PM
Every time on this page is in IST (Asia/Kolkata). The reading is the same for everyone in this time zone; only the supportive hours follow Delhi's sunrise.
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.
Dhaiya for Makar is paused: Saturn is in Meen, your 3rd, until 23 Feb 2028. The whole dhaiya ends on 17 Apr 2030.
- dhaiya Phaladeepika 26.22–23 · Brihat Samhita 104.39–45
Within this stay, Saturn's effect is classically felt most in the last third of Meen: from 20 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028.
- Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19
Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 3rd and the other eight grahas are in the table below.
The next dhaiya (8th house) for Makar runs from 27 Aug 2036 to 13 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 Meen on 25 Oct, the 3rd house from Makar, until 23 Feb 2028, 7:24 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 25 Oct, the Moon is in Singh; its next stay in Makar runs from 4 Nov, 10:07 PM to 7 Nov, 11:00 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 25 Oct, the Moon is in Magha; its next pass through Makar begins in Uttara Ashadha pada 2, from 4 Nov, 10:07 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 25 Oct: Saturn is in Meen, the 3rd house from Makar, and returns on 23 Feb 2028. The whole span runs from 3 Jun to Saturn's final exit on 17 Apr 2030. The next dhaiya (8th house) for Makar runs from 27 Aug 2036 to 13 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?
Jupiter moves into Kanya on 26 Nov, 6:45 PM, the 9th house from Makar; Saturn moves into Mesh on 23 Feb 2028, 7:24 PM, the 4th house from Makar; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 3:08 PM, the 12th and 6th houses from Makar (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 24 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 25 Oct, at 11:38 AM, the Sun is in Scorpio 1°36′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Tula 7°21′ 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.
