Questions

Makar Rashifal 2027 Questions

How will 2027 be for Makar rashi?

In 2027, what supports Makar: Saturn in your 3rd (until 21 Mar, from 25 Apr to 3 Jun and from 20 Oct); Jupiter in your 7th (from 3 Jun to 26 Jun). Needs attention: Jupiter in your 8th (until 25 Jan and from 26 Jun to 26 Nov; house not favourable); Rahu in your 1st (all year; house not favourable); Ketu in your 7th (all year; house not favourable); Jupiter in your 7th (from 25 Jan to 3 Jun; vedha: Saturn in your 3rd); Saturn in your 3rd (from 21 Mar to 25 Apr; combust); Saturn in your 4th (from 3 Jun to 20 Oct; house not favourable); Jupiter in your 9th (from 26 Nov; Kanya, an unfriendly sign). For Makar, Shani dhaiya begins on 3 Jun and pauses from 20 Oct to 23 Feb 2028.

When do Saturn and Jupiter change house for Makar in 2027?

In 2027: Jupiter into Kark, your 7th, on 25 Jan, 1:31 AM; Saturn into Mesh, your 4th, on 3 Jun, 5:28 AM; Jupiter into Singh, your 8th, on 26 Jun, 5:19 AM; Saturn into Meen, your 3rd, on 20 Oct, 7:12 AM; Jupiter into Kanya, your 9th, on 26 Nov, 6:45 PM.

How is 2027 for career and money for Makar?

Saturn in Meen, your 3rd (courage and siblings), until 21 Mar, from 25 Apr to 3 Jun and from 20 Oct: classically favourable for standing, helpers and gains. Saturn in Meen, your 3rd, from 21 Mar to 25 Apr: classically favourable for standing, helpers and gains, but Saturn is close to the Sun (combust), so its support is muted. From 3 Jun to 20 Oct, no slow graha is in your 10th, 6th, 3rd, 11th, 2nd or 12th, so the texts point to nothing particular for work and money from the slow grahas.

What does 2027 show for love and marriage for Makar?

Ketu in Kark, your 7th (marriage and partnership), all year: classically not a favourable house; the texts name no separate result of it for love and family. Jupiter in Kark, your 7th, from 25 Jan to 3 Jun: classically favourable for your partner's happiness, but Saturn in your 3rd holds it back (vedha), so its support is held back. Jupiter in Kark, your 7th, from 3 Jun to 26 Jun: classically favourable for your partner's happiness. Saturn in Mesh, your 4th (mother, home and happiness), from 3 Jun to 20 Oct: classically not favourable for home and relatives. Timing for one person needs their own kundli and dasha, as the texts themselves say.

How is 2027 for Makar students?

Jupiter in Kanya, your 9th (fortune, dharma and father), from 26 Nov: classically favourable for fortune, success and children, but Jupiter is in Kanya, whose lord Mercury is not its natural friend, so its support is muted. Until 26 Nov, no slow graha is in your 5th or 9th, so the texts point to nothing particular for study, children and faith from the slow grahas.

In which periods of 2027 do more slow grahas need attention for Makar?

By our count, of the 4 slow planets for Makar: until 25 Jan: 1 supports, 3 need attention; from 25 Jan to 21 Mar: 1 supports, 3 need attention; from 21 Mar to 25 Apr: 0 support, 4 need attention; from 25 Apr to 3 Jun: 1 supports, 3 need attention; from 3 Jun to 26 Jun: 1 supports, 3 need attention; from 26 Jun to 20 Oct: 0 support, 4 need attention; from 20 Oct to 26 Nov: 1 supports, 3 need attention; from 26 Nov: 1 supports, 3 need attention.

When does Shani dhaiya begin for Makar, and why does it pause later in 2027?

For Makar, Shani dhaiya begins on 3 Jun and pauses from 20 Oct to 23 Feb 2028. Saturn turns back into Meen while retrograde, so the cycle pauses until Saturn re-enters Mesh on 23 Feb 2028; the final exit is on 17 Apr 2030.

How We Work Out Rashifal 2027

What we apply

  • There is no classical formula for a year: the texts read each planet's transit from your Moon sign and add that the result for you depends on your own chart's dasha and ashtakavarga. So the year here is the slow planets' stays, each with its classical reading, over the calendar year (1 January to 31 December).
  • The year is read from the 4 slow planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, by their house from your Moon sign, with the same rules as our daily rashifal: favourable houses, vedha, own or exaltation sign, debilitation or an unfriendly sign, and combustion.
  • A period runs from one slow sign change, or one change in Jupiter's or Saturn's combustion, to the next. Within a period only Jupiter and Saturn count as obstructors (vedha); the faster grahas' vedha lasts days or weeks, so it is listed with its dates in the month cards and does not change a period. This standing-state reading is our own method.
  • Each period shows the count of the 4 slow planets in the two lists, not a label: in a favourable house with nothing holding it back (or counted supportive by reverse vedha), under 'what supports'; otherwise under 'points that call for patience', with the fact that puts it there. There is no single label for a period or for the whole year.
  • The four life areas are our own grouping of houses whose meanings in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra ch. 11 name them: work and money (10th, 6th, 3rd, 11th, 2nd, 12th), love and family (7th, 4th, 2nd), health (1st, 6th), and, on the yearly page, study, children and faith (5th, 9th).
  • When Jupiter or Saturn enters a sign while moving forward and the Sun is then in your 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th, and is itself counted supportive there (not in its debilitation sign or an unfriendly sign), a separate line says the Sun's strength at the entry supports the stay (Muhurta Chintamani 3.19; Jyotirnibandha p. 52). Only this lifting side is in both texts, so only it is shown, and it never changes a label. Entries made while retrograde are skipped: no text says whether they count.
  • At each sankranti the Moon's place from your Moon sign is read as Chandrabala at that very moment, never at sunrise (Muhurta Chintamani 3.19; Narada Samhita 11.26). When the Moon changes sign within 30 minutes of the sankranti, the line is left out.
  • An eclipse in your 3rd, 6th, 10th or 11th is classically favourable for up to six months; elsewhere it asks for care (Muhurta Chintamani 4.6; Daivajna-manohara). The texts do not say whether an eclipse unseen at your place counts; tradition observes only a visible eclipse that is not penumbral, so the house reading is given only for those. That is our reading.
  • Combustion uses the panchang's orbs (Jupiter 11 degrees, Saturn 15 degrees from the Sun). Almanacs that print Guru or Shani asta by when the planet stops being visible at dawn or dusk give dates a few days apart.
  • Eclipse times are worked out to the second and printed to the nearest minute; the greatest moment is found between the minutes, not on them. The sutak moves with the first contact.
  • A station is the moment the planet's speed against the stars is zero. Mars', Jupiter's and Saturn's stations are given by date only, since the minute depends on the definition used.
  • Every house is counted from your Moon sign, as Phaladeepika 26.1 directs, in the sidereal zodiac (Lahiri ayanamsa) with NASA JPL DE440 positions; Rahu and Ketu use the true node, as our kundli does, with the mean-node date many almanacs print shown beside it. — Lahiri ayanamsa: the official definition (Rashtriya Panchang p.vii; Indian Astronomical Ephemeris p.378), mean ayanamsa; true node: our convention (the Rashtriya Panchang prints both true and mean)
  • A transit's house verdict follows Phaladeepika 26.2, Brihat Samhita 104.4 and Muhurta Chintamani 4.1–3, which agree; the result named for each house is used only where Phaladeepika and Brihat Samhita agree.
  • Vedha is counted from your Moon sign (Narada), with no vedha between the Sun and Saturn or the Moon and Mercury.
  • Rahu and Ketu in a favourable house are held back in the same way by any of the seven grahas (Muhurta Chintamani 4.1; Kalaprakashika 36.18).
  • Reverse vedha counts a placement that asks for patience as supportive while another graha sits in its paired favourable house (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4; Narada Samhita 12.8), counted from your Moon sign; it never changes Chandrashtama.
  • In a favourable house, a graha in its debilitation sign or in an unfriendly sign gives muted support (Phaladeepika 26.32; Brihat Samhita 104.53).
  • In a favourable house, a graha close to the Sun (combust) gives muted support (Phaladeepika 26.32; Narada Samhita 12.11).
  • In a house that asks for patience, a graha in its own or exaltation sign does not work against you (Phaladeepika 26.31; Kalaprakashika 36.12).
  • When own or exaltation sign and combustion meet, no text read ranks one above the other, so the row is listed under 'points that call for patience' with both facts.
  • Rahu or Ketu in the 10th is read as a time for patience, as five texts read it (Muhurta Chintamani, Kalaprakashika, Sharngadhara, Jyotihprakasha and Shripati); Phaladeepika counts it favourable, so 'Texts differ' is shown beside it.
  • Retrograde is shown as a fact only. The texts disagree on what it means in transit, so a retrograde graha is read from the sign it occupies.

What we leave out, and why

  • Some texts say a slow planet's next sign begins to be felt months before it enters. They do not say how this works when the planet turns back, as Saturn does in 2027, so it is not used.
  • The 'double transit' of Jupiter and Saturn is a modern technique for a birth chart, not found in the gochara chapters read, so it is not used.
  • Jupiter's fast motion (atichara) belongs to muhurta, not to gochara results, so it is not used.
  • No gochara text grades a result by the planet's degree in a sign, so degrees are not used.
  • The year's raja and mantri, and the North Indian name of the samvatsara, are about the land rather than your rashi, and are not confirmed by a second source, so they are left out.
  • A lunar eclipse that is only penumbral is listed as astronomy but not counted as a grahan.

Held back until checked

  • Rahu and Ketu are given no exaltation or own sign here, because the texts disagree on them.
  • Kakshya timing is described in Phaladeepika 23.16–19 as another school's view and is not found in the other texts, so it is not used.
  • Saturn's 'paya' (gold, silver, copper or iron) is not shown: no verse for it was found in the main texts, and the popular rules disagree.
  • The classical texts say a favourable placement is held back by 'other grahas' without saying whether Rahu and Ketu count, so we count only the seven visible grahas as obstructors.
  • Reverse vedha is not applied to Rahu and Ketu: only one text reads it that way, so a node in a house that asks for patience is counted there as it is.

Ketu
One of the nine grahas: the Moon's south node, always opposite Rahu.
Needs attention: both facts
Its own or exaltation sign while close to the Sun (combust): no text read ranks one above the other, so both facts are shown; or the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu sharing a favourable Moon's sign (Muhurta Chintamani 4.7).
Chandrashtama
The Moon in the 8th sign from your Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.34; Muhurta Chintamani 4.1).
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).

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.
