At 12:00 PM, the Moon is in Kark, outside this map; its next stay in Vrishchik runs from 30 Jan, 9:22 PM to 2 Feb, 9:22 AM. Also on this map: Venus in Vrishchik.

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

Vrishchik on 23 Jan: the Moon is in your 9th all day, which the texts count supportive by reverse vedha, but it shares Kark with Ketu, so its support is muted.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Aaj ka Vrishchik Rashifal · Scorpio Moon sign · Saturday 23 January 2027

Vrishchik Rashifal for 23 Jan: 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.

Mixed?

Saturday 23 January: the Moon is in Kark, the 9th sign from Vrishchik, all day (until Sunday 24 Jan, 4:54 AM). Classically, the Moon in your 9th is unfavourable on its own (a tired mind and official matters), but with the Sun in your 3rd the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), and it shares Kark with Ketu, so its support is muted.

Mixed. By our count for Vrishchik on 23 Jan, of the 9 grahas: supportive 3, mixed 2, asking for patience 4; the Moon leads the day.

The day changes at 6:52 PM, when Mercury moves out of combustion in Makar; both parts are shown.

Work, Love and Health

Work and Money?

Classically, Jupiter in your 10th is unfavourable on its own for work and money, but with the Moon in your 9th the texts reverse it (reverse vedha), so it is counted as supportive, while Mercury in your 3rd asks for care with competition: stay fair and steady. Together they read as mixed.

Love and Family?

No graha is in your 7th, 4th or 2nd on 23 Jan, so the texts point to nothing particular for love and family.

Health?

Venus in your 1st is classically supportive; the texts name no result of it for health.

Sade Sati and Shani Dhaiya for Vrishchik: 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 Vrishchik now: Saturn is in Meen, your 5th, until 3 Jun 2027. The next, dhaiya (8th), runs from 31 May 2032 to 13 Jul 2034.

The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Vrishchik runs from 31 May 2032 to 13 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.

  • 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 Singh on 23 Jan, the 10th house from Vrishchik, until 10 Mar, 12:13 AM. 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 23 Jan, the Moon is in Kark; its next stay in Vrishchik runs from 30 Jan, 9:22 PM to 2 Feb, 9:22 AM: 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 23 Jan, the Moon is in Ashlesha; its next pass through Vrishchik begins in Vishakha pada 4, from 30 Jan, 9:22 PM. 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 23 Jan: Saturn is in Meen, the 5th house from Vrishchik. The next dhaiya (ashtama, Saturn in the 8th) for Vrishchik runs from 31 May 2032 to 13 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 Kark on Monday 25 Jan, 1:31 AM, the 9th house from Vrishchik; Saturn moves into Mesh on 3 Jun, 5:28 AM, the 6th house from Vrishchik; Rahu moves into Dhanu and Ketu into Mithun on 24 May 2028, 3:08 PM, the 2nd and 8th houses from Vrishchik (true node; by the mean node many almanacs print, on 24 Jun 2028). 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 23 Jan, at 9:26 AM, the Sun is in Aquarius 2°54′ by the tropical zodiac that birthday signs use, but in Makar 8°40′ 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.

Supportive
A transit in a house the texts count favourable, with nothing holding it back.
Supportive (reverse vedha)
A transit in a house that asks for patience, counted supportive because another graha sits in its paired favourable house (reverse vedha).
Held back (vedha)
A favourable transit obstructed by another graha in its vedha house.
Mixed
The texts pull both ways (its own or exaltation sign while close to the Sun), or the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu shares a supportive Moon's sign, so the transit is counted neither supportive nor a time for patience.
A time for patience
A transit in a house the texts count unfavourable: a time for steady effort and simple plans.
Mixed
Our label for the day when the Moon is held back, muted or eased, or shares its sign with the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu.
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).
Reverse vedha (vama vedha)
A transit that asks for patience is counted supportive while another graha sits in its paired favourable house (Muhurta Chintamani 4.4; Narada Samhita 12.8).
The Moon's company
The grahas in the Moon's sign; the Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu there mute a supportive Moon (Muhurta Chintamani 4.7; Brihat Samhita 104.56).
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.
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.
Texts differ
The classical texts read this placement differently; we follow most of them and name the text that differs.
Supportive hours
The panchang's good windows for new work in your city, inside the hours when the Moon is supportive for your rashi.
Own sign (swarashi)
A sign the graha rules (BPHS ch. 3).
