Aaj ka Meen rashifal, read from your Moon sign.

Aaj ka Meen Rashifal · Pisces Moon sign

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Meen: 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.

Sade Sati, second phase for Meen: Saturn is in Meen, your 1st, from 29 Mar 2025 to 2 Jun 2027. The whole Sade Sati runs from 28 Apr 2022 to 16 Apr 2030, with a pause from 12 Jul 2022 to 17 Jan 2023 and from 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. Traditionally this passage rewards steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • Sade Sati 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 1 Jul 2026 to 20 Aug 2026 and from 10 Mar 2027 to 2 Jun 2027.

  • Felt most Phaladeepika 26.25 · Muhurta Chintamani 4.19

Saturn is one of nine: the verdict for Saturn in your 1st and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next dhaiya (Saturn in the 4th) for Meen runs from 30 May 2032 to 12 Jul 2034.

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

Meen Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Meen rashi?

Jupiter, the lord of Meen, is in Kark on 20 Jul, the 5th house from Meen, until 31 Oct, 2:33 AM. Jupiter rules Meen in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Jupiter also rules Dhanu.

Which name letters (naam akshar) belong to Meen rashi?

On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Kanya; its next stay in Meen runs from 2 Aug, 5:57 AM to 4 Aug, 12:24 PM: a child born in those hours has Meen as janma rashi. Meen's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Di (Purva Bhadrapada 4); Du, Tha, Jha, Na (Uttara Bhadrapada 1–4); De, Do, Cha, Chi (Revati 1–4). A name starting with one of them gives Meen as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Meen rashi?

On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Chitra; its next pass through Meen begins in Purva Bhadrapada pada 4, from 2 Aug, 5:57 AM. Meen covers 330° to 360° of the sidereal zodiac: Purva Bhadrapada pada 4, all four padas of Uttara Bhadrapada and all four padas of Revati, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Meen, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Meen rashi people like?

They are described as learned, handsome and well proportioned, able to prevail even with those who oppose them, and drawn to water and the sea; the texts also give them a large head. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.12, Saravali 23.79 and Hora Sara 29.12 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Meen and its lord Jupiter 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 Meen rashi?

Sade Sati is running for Meen on 20 Jul, in its second phase: Saturn is in Meen, the 1st house, Meen itself. It began on 28 Apr 2022 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 16 Apr 2030, with Saturn stepping out of it from 12 Jul 2022 to 17 Jan 2023 and 8 Aug 2029 to 5 Oct 2029. The next dhaiya (Saturn in the 4th) for Meen runs from 30 May 2032 to 12 Jul 2034. 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 Meen rashi?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 2:33 AM, the 6th house from Meen; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 7:16 AM (EST), the 11th and 5th houses from Meen (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun 2027, 7:58 PM, the 2nd house from Meen. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Meen, 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 Meen rashi in English?

On 20 Jul, at 11:12 AM, the Sun is in Cancer 27°56′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kark 3°42′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Meen is called Pisces 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 Pisces need not have Meen rashi.

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.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.

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).
What needs attention
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.
