Capricorn in Vedic Astrology (Makara Rashi)
In Vedic astrology (Jyotish Shastra), Capricorn is known as Makara Rashi (मकर). While Western astrology determines your sign based on the Sun's position at birth, Vedic astrology uses the Moon's position — which is why your Vedic sign (Moon sign) may differ from your Western sign (Sun sign).
Makara is ruled by Saturn (शनि) and belongs to the Earth (पृथ्वी) element. Key personality traits include being ambitious, disciplined, patient, pessimistic.
Our Capricorn horoscope predictions are computed from real planetary transit data using the Lahiri Ayanamsa (sidereal zodiac). For the most accurate reading, we recommend knowing your Moon sign from a complete free Kundli analysis.
Our Capricorn horoscope uses Vedic astrology (Jyotish), which is based on the Moon sign rather than the Sun sign. Capricorn corresponds to Makara (मकर) in Vedic terminology. Predictions are calculated from real-time planetary positions using the Swiss Ephemeris.
