The nakshatras on this map and their yogataras
  • Vishakha 200°00′ to 213°20′ Yogatara: ι¹ Librae. Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860 and Pingree and Morrissey 1989. Calendar Reform Committee 1955 and Colebrooke 1807 read it as α² Librae. The sources split two and two; the star nearer the Surya Siddhanta's stated position is used.
  • Anuradha 213°20′ to 226°40′ Yogatara: Dschubba (δ Scorpii). Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860, Calendar Reform Committee 1955, Pingree and Morrissey 1989 and Colebrooke 1807.
  • Jyeshtha 226°40′ to 240°00′ Yogatara: Antares (α Scorpii). 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.
  • Mula 240°00′ to 253°20′ Yogatara: Shaula (λ Scorpii). Sources: Burgess and Whitney 1860 and Calendar Reform Committee 1955. Pingree and Morrissey 1989 reads it as 45 Ophiuchi.

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.

Vrishchik Rashifal for 16 Oct: Work, Love and Health

Aaj ka Vrishchik rashifal, read from your Moon sign. Vrishchik (वृश्चिक) is the 8th rashi, 210° to 240° of the sidereal zodiac, ruled by Mars, and it holds Vishakha pada 4, all four padas of Anuradha and all four padas of Jyeshtha. In English it is called Scorpio, 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 Vrishchik and the classical verse behind it.

A time for patience?

Friday 16 October: the Moon is in Dhanu, the 2nd sign from Vrishchik, all day (until Sunday 18 Oct, 10:03 AM). Classically, the Moon in your 2nd asks for patience (money matters): keep an eye on spending.

A time for patience. By our count for Vrishchik on 16 Oct, of the 9 grahas: supportive 4, mixed 0, asking for patience 5; the Moon leads the day.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, the Sun in your 11th favours standing, honour and gains, while the Moon in your 2nd asks for care with money: keep an eye on spending. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

The Moon in your 2nd and Rahu in your 4th both ask for patience; the texts name no shared result of them for love and family.

Health?

No graha is in your 1st or 6th on 16 Oct, so the texts point to nothing particular for health.

  • Rising: Brihat Jataka 1.10, Saravali 3.24, Phaladeepika 1.8 and Jataka Parijata 1.14 call Vrishchik shirshodaya; printed editions of Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra 4.17 read this verse differently.

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

Vrishchik Rashi Questions

Who is the lord (swami) of Vrishchik rashi?

Mars, the lord of Vrishchik, is in Kark on 16 Oct, the 9th house from Vrishchik, until 12 Nov, 9:49 AM (EST). Mars rules Vrishchik in every classical text we read: Brihat Jataka 1.6, Saravali 3.11 and Phaladeepika 1.6. Mars also rules Mesh.

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

On 16 Oct, the Moon is in Dhanu; its next stay in Vrishchik runs from 9 Nov, 4:18 PM (EST) to 12 Nov, 3:49 AM (EST): a child born in those hours has Vrishchik as janma rashi. Vrishchik's nine name syllables, one for each nakshatra pada, are To (Vishakha 4); Na, Ni, Nu, Ne (Anuradha 1–4); No, Ya, Yi, Yu (Jyeshtha 1–4). A name starting with one of them gives Vrishchik as the name rashi, which matches the janma rashi only when the name was chosen from the birth nakshatra.

Which nakshatras are in Vrishchik rashi?

On 16 Oct, the Moon is in Mula; its next pass through Vrishchik begins in Vishakha pada 4, from 9 Nov, 4:18 PM (EST). Vrishchik covers 210° to 240° of the sidereal zodiac: Vishakha pada 4, all four padas of Anuradha and all four padas of Jyeshtha, nine nakshatra padas in all, as every rashi has (Brihat Jataka 1.4, Hora Sara 1.13). If your rashi is Vrishchik, your birth nakshatra is one of these.

What are Vrishchik rashi people like?

The texts agree mostly on build: large, striking eyes and well-rounded thighs and knees. All three say early childhood calls for extra care of health, and two describe people who often make their own way early, apart from parents and teachers. These are the points that at least two of Brihat Jataka 17.8, Saravali 23.51 and Hora Sara 29.8 share. Brihat Jataka 17.13 adds that this picture holds in full only when the Moon, Vrishchik and its lord Mars 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 Vrishchik rashi?

Neither Sade Sati nor dhaiya is running for Vrishchik on 16 Oct: Saturn is in Meen, the 5th house from Vrishchik. The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Vrishchik 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 Vrishchik rashi?

Jupiter moves into Singh on 31 Oct, 2:33 AM, the 10th house from Vrishchik; Rahu moves into Makar and Ketu into Kark on 25 Nov, 7:16 AM (EST), the 3rd and 9th houses from Vrishchik (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 5 Dec); Saturn moves into Mesh on 2 Jun 2027, 7:58 PM, the 6th house from Vrishchik. Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu–Ketu stay in a sign for many months, so their changes set the background for Vrishchik, 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 Vrishchik rashi in English?

On 16 Oct, at 12:00 PM, the Sun is in Libra 23°18′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Kanya 29°05′ by the sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology. Vrishchik is called Scorpio 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 Scorpio need not have Vrishchik rashi.

Gochar (transit)
The movement of the grahas through the signs, read from your Moon sign (Phaladeepika 26.1).
