Aaj ka Vrishabh Rashifal · Taurus Moon sign

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Vrishabh: 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.

No Sade Sati or dhaiya for Vrishabh now: Saturn is in Meen, your 11th, until 2 Jun 2027. The next, Sade Sati, runs from 2 Jun 2027 to 12 Jul 2034.

The next Sade Sati for Vrishabh begins on 2 Jun 2027 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 12 Jul 2034, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028.

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

Vrishabh Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Vrishabh rashi?

Venus, the lord of Vrishabh, is in Singh on 20 Jul, the 4th house from Vrishabh, until 31 Jul, 11:58 PM. Venus rules Vrishabh in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Venus also rules Tula.

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

On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Kanya; its next stay in Vrishabh runs from 6 Aug, 4:24 PM to 8 Aug, 6:19 PM: a child born in those hours has Vrishabh as janma rashi. Vrishabh's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are I, U, E (Krittika 2–4); O, Va, Vi, Vu (Rohini 1–4); Ve, Vo (Mrigashira 1–2). A name starting with one of them gives Vrishabh as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Vrishabh rashi?

On 20 Jul, the Moon is in Chitra; its next pass through Vrishabh begins in Krittika pada 2, from 6 Aug, 4:24 PM. Vrishabh covers 30° to 60° of the sidereal zodiac: Krittika padas 2 to 4, all four padas of Rohini and Mrigashira 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 Vrishabh, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Vrishabh rashi people like?

They are described as generous, forgiving and patient, graceful in bearing, and wise enough to tell right from wrong. All three texts call the middle and later years of life the happier ones. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.2, Saravali 23.8 and Hora Sara 29.2 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Vrishabh and its lord Venus 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 Vrishabh rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Vrishabh on 20 Jul: Saturn is in Meen, the 11th house from Vrishabh. The next Sade Sati for Vrishabh begins on 2 Jun 2027 and ends with Saturn's final exit on 12 Jul 2034, with Saturn stepping out of it from 19 Oct 2027 to 23 Feb 2028. 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 Vrishabh rashi?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 2:33 AM, the 4th house from Vrishabh; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 7:16 AM (EST), the 9th and 3rd houses from Vrishabh (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun 2027, 7:58 PM, the 12th house from Vrishabh. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Vrishabh, 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 Vrishabh 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. Vrishabh is called Taurus 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 Taurus need not have Vrishabh rashi.

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.
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.
Direct (margi)
The graha moves forward again after a retrograde spell.
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.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.
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.
Debilitated (neecha)
The sign opposite its exaltation, where a graha is weakest (BPHS ch. 3).
Own sign (swarashi)
A sign the graha rules (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.
