At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Mesh, outside this map; its next stay in Singh runs from Saturday 23 Jan, 6:24 PM to 25 Jan, 8:15 PM. Also on this map: Mars in Singh, Jupiter in Singh and Ketu in Kark.

Every house is counted from Singh, so this chart is Singh'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.

Singh on 17 Jan: the Moon is in your 9th (fortune, dharma and father) until 5:52 PM (Needs attention: house not favourable); 1 of the 9 planets supports, 8 need attention.

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.

Singh Rashifal for 17 Jan: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Singh rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Singh (सिंह) is the 5th rashi, 120° to 150° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by the Sun, and it holds all four padas of Magha, all four padas of Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni pada 1. In English it is called Leo, 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 Singh and the classical verse behind it.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Singh: 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.

Shani's dhaiya (8th) for Singh: Saturn is in Meen, your 8th, from 29 Mar 2025 to 2 Jun 2027. The whole dhaiya runs from 29 Mar 2025 to 23 Feb 2028, with a pause from 2 Jun 2027 to 19 Oct 2027. Traditionally this passage rewards steady effort, discipline and looking after health.

  • 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 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 8th and the other eight grahas are in the table below.

The next Sade Sati for Singh begins on 12 Jul 2034 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 25 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 27 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041.

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

Singh Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Singh rashi?

The Sun, the lord of Singh, is in Makar on 17 Jan, the 6th house from Singh, until 12 Feb, 11:39 PM. The Sun rules Singh in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. The Sun rules no other rashi.

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

On 17 Jan, the Moon is in Mesh; its next stay in Singh runs from Saturday 23 Jan, 6:24 PM to 25 Jan, 8:15 PM: a child born in those hours has Singh as janma rashi. Singh's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are Ma, Mi, Mu, Me (Magha 1–4); Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu (Purva Phalguni 1–4); Te (Uttara Phalguni 1). A name starting with one of them gives Singh as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Singh rashi?

On 17 Jan, the Moon is in Bharani; its next pass through Singh begins in Magha pada 1, from Saturday 23 Jan, 6:24 PM. Singh covers 120° to 150° of the sidereal zodiac: all four padas of Magha, all four padas of Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni pada 1, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Singh, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Singh rashi people like?

They are described as brave and generous, firm in their views and close to their mother; the texts also give them a broad face. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.5, Saravali 23.30 and Hora Sara 29.5 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Singh and its lord the Sun 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 Singh rashi?

Shani dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) is running for Singh on 17 Jan: Saturn is in Meen, the 8th house from Singh. It began on 29 Mar 2025 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 23 Feb 2028, with Saturn stepping out of it from 2 Jun to 19 Oct. The next Sade Sati for Singh begins on 12 Jul 2034 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 25 Sep 2041, with Saturn stepping out of it from 27 Jan 2041 to 6 Feb 2041. 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 Singh rashi?

Jupiter moves into Kark on 24 Jan, 3:01 PM, the 12th house from Singh; Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun, 7:58 PM (EDT), the 9th house from Singh; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 5:38 AM (EDT), the 5th and 11th houses from Singh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 23 Jun 2028). Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Singh, 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 Singh rashi in English?

On 17 Jan, at 8:56 AM, the Sun is in Capricorn 27°13′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Makar 2°59′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Singh is called Leo 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 Leo need not have Singh rashi.

Vedha (obstruction)
A favourable transit is held back while another graha sits in its paired house (Phaladeepika 26.3–8).
Bright half (Shukla paksha)
The waxing fortnight, from the new moon to the full moon; then the Moon is also counted supportive in the 2nd, 5th and 9th (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4; Narada Samhita 13.2).
Chandrabala
The Moon's strength for you, counted from your Moon sign: houses 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 11 are good.
Tarabala
The strength of the day's nakshatra for you, counted from your birth nakshatra in rounds of nine.
Shani's dhaiya
Saturn's stay of about two and a half years in the 4th or the 8th from your Moon sign.
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.
Combust (asta)
Lost in the Sun's glare; in a favourable house its support is muted (Phaladeepika 26.32). Guru and Shukra: while not seen from India's reference latitude, 23°11′N (IAE); Mars, Mercury and Saturn by the books' degrees (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 strongest (BPHS ch. 3).
Unfriendly sign
A sign whose lord the graha naturally counts as hostile (BPHS ch. 3).
Work and Money
Our grouping: read from the 10th, 6th, 3rd, 11th, 2nd and 12th houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (BPHS ch. 11).
Love and Family
Our grouping: read from the 7th, 4th and 2nd houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (BPHS ch. 11).
Health
Our grouping: read from the 1st and 6th houses from your Moon sign, whose meanings name this area (BPHS ch. 11).
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.
