This page follows the Makara (Capricorn) Moon through 2027, one month at a time. The zodiac is sidereal with the Lahiri ayanamsa, houses are counted in whole signs from your Moon sign, and all dates are Indian Standard Time. The Makara Rashi 2027 yearly page has the whole-year overview. This page follows the quicker planets and the Moon’s phases month by month.
These notes are transit tendencies counted from the Moon sign. They are not predictions of events, and your birth chart and running dasha decide the detail.
