Capricorn, today is a day where your professional life truly shines! With Mercury and Venus both gracing your 10th house of career and public image, you're endowed with exceptional communication skills, charm, and strategic thinking.
Rashi is your moon sign, not your sun sign
This is the part most rashifal readers are never told. A rashi is the sign the Moon occupied at your birth. A Western zodiac sign is where the Sun was. The two agree only by coincidence — for most people they are different signs entirely.
It matters because a rashifal is cast against the moon sign. So this page is yours if your Moon is in Makar — which needs your birth time and place to establish, not just the date. A free Kundli will tell you which rashi you are, and it is often not the one people assume.

Nakshatras in Makar
Uttara Ashadha (2nd–4th pada) · Shravana · Dhanishtha (1st–2nd pada)
A rashi spans 30 degrees and is made of two and a quarter nakshatras. Which nakshatra the Moon fell in is what decides your Vimshottari dasha sequence, so it matters more than the rashi for timing.
