Makar Rashifal Today

आज का मकर राशिफल

The Makar rashifal is for people whose rashi, which is the sign the Moon was in at the moment of birth, is Makar. Vedic astrology reads each day by counting how many signs away from your rashi each planet is, starting with your rashi as the 1st. That count is called the house, and each of the twelve houses governs a different part of life.

Today's Moon / आज का चंद्रमा

At sunrise today the Moon is in Makar, the 1st house counted from Makar.

Favourable

The 1st house is you yourself: your body, your energy and the way you come across. Vedic astrology counts the Moon here as favourable, so this is a good day to begin something you care about or to meet new people, and your mood may feel steadier than usual.

The Moon is passing through the Shravana nakshatra, one of the 27 star groups the Moon crosses each month. The Moon moves into Kumbh tomorrow at 07:01 IST, which is the 2nd house from Makar.

The slow planets / धीमे ग्रह

The Moon changes sign every two to three days. These four planets stay in a sign for a year or more, so they describe the stretch of time you are in rather than the day.

Saturn in Meen, the 3rd house from Makar

Favourable

Saturn, the planet Vedic astrology links with work, discipline and delay, spends about two and a half years in each sign.

Saturn is in the 3rd house from your sign, which governs effort, courage and brothers and sisters. Vedic astrology counts this as one of Saturn's three good houses: steady effort is rewarded and rivals give way. This is a good stretch to take on hard projects.

Saturn is retrograde, meaning that seen from Earth it appears to move backward through the zodiac. Vedic astrology reads a retrograde planet as going back over the matters of its house, so unfinished business in this part of life may come back for another look before it is settled.

Saturn stays in Meen until 3 June 2027, when it moves into Mesh, the 4th house from Makar.

Jupiter in Kark, the 7th house from Makar

Favourable

Jupiter, the planet Vedic astrology links with growth, teachers and good fortune, spends about a year in each sign.

Jupiter is in the 7th house from your sign, which governs marriage and business partnerships. Vedic astrology counts this as favourable for marriage, for partnerships and for travel that pays off. If a marriage proposal or a business partnership is on the table, this period supports it.

Jupiter stays in Kark until 31 October 2026, when it moves into Singh, the 8th house from Makar.

Rahu in Kumbh, the 2nd house from Makar

Unfavourable

Rahu is the Moon's north node, the point where the Moon's path crosses the Sun's. Vedic astrology treats it as a planet of appetite and sudden change, and it spends about eighteen months in each sign, moving backward through the zodiac.

Rahu is in the 2nd house from your sign, which governs the money you hold, family and speech. Vedic astrology counts this as unfavourable: arguments at home and unexpected expenses. Speak carefully and leave your savings untouched.

Rahu stays in Kumbh until 5 December 2026, when it moves into Makar, the 1st house from Makar.

Ketu in Singh, the 8th house from Makar

Unfavourable

Ketu is the Moon's south node, always exactly opposite Rahu. Vedic astrology treats it as a planet of detachment and letting go, and it moves with Rahu, about eighteen months to a sign.

Ketu is in the 8th house from your sign, which governs sudden events, hidden matters and length of life. Vedic astrology counts this as unfavourable for health and money, though good for research and spiritual practice. Avoid risk and keep a cash reserve.

Ketu stays in Singh until 5 December 2026, when it moves into Kark, the 7th house from Makar.

Today's panchang / आज का पंचांग
