MAKARA LAGNA:
The Makara Rāśi is symbolized by a deer with a crocodile bottom, who lives in marshy land. The Rāśi denotes an amphibian that lives in both land and water, like a crocodile. Besides that, the quality of a deer is also present in one born in this Rāśi. One born in this Rāśi does not have moderate stature. They are either short or tall. They have a lean body, thin face and long protruding chin. Like a crocodile, their neck is thick. They have dark hair and weak knees. They could be emaciated unless Śani is strong.
Makara is a feminine Rāśi of Śani, and a Makara person is born in the passive qualities of the Graha. They are hardworking quiet, steady, patient, tactful, practical, prudent, pragmatic, management abilities, self-restraint, strong-willed, ambitious, just, frugal, cautious. But they are melancholic and lack cheer. They are born sceptic and rationalist due to the effects of Maṅgala. They are non-believers, requiring scientific proof for everything. They are the person of strong determination. They are more respected than loved due to their serious bearing.
The key characteristics of one born in this Rāśi are (1) emaciated body, (2) timid, (3) face akin to that of a deer, (4) troubled by windy diseases, (5) bright and elevated nose, (6) not mighty, (7) many sons, ( 8 ) hairy-bodied, (9) broad feet and hands, (10) devoid of good conduct and virtues, (11) tormented by thirst (or morbid heat), (12) liked by women, (13) wander in hills and forests, (14) brave, (15) knowledge of śāstras, vedas, fine-arts, music and musical instruments, (16) little strength, (17) householder, (18) hostile, wicked and ill-disposed towards relatives, (19) splendorous, (20) wicked wife, (21) not be a talebearer, (22) wealthy, (23) virtuous, (24) serve the king, (25) very liberal, (26) happy and fortunate.
Their lean physique is due to the effects of Lagneśa Śani. Śani is a Vāyuttatva Graha, indicating an emaciated body. But since this is a Pṛthvītattva Rāśi, the native can have a muscular and stocky build if there is the influence of Grahas such as Budha or Maṅgala. The weakness of Śani, the Lagneśa, indicate an emaciated body.
The person is usually timid due to the effects of Bṛhaspati in the 3rd house. 3rd house is governed by Bṛhaspati and is the Uccakṣetra of another Śubhagraha Śukra. Śubha influences on 3rd house make on timid. However, there is a contradiction because they are a tenacious fighter and fight with great courage if they pick up a fight. Their fearlessness comes from Maṅgala, the god of war, who manifests his strength in the Lagna. When they are pushed to war, they become highly tenacious like a crocodile. Normally, they are timid, fearful, avoid confrontation and prefer amicable settlement of an issue, but they are different when they are at war.
Due to the effects of the Rāśi symbol, which is a deer, the face of the person has some similarities with a deer. Due to the effects of crocodile, they have a thick neck as well. Due to the same reason, the person has broad feet and hands.
There is too much of Vāta influence on the Lagna, as the Lagna is owned by Śani, and is the Uccakṣetra of Maṅgala. Maṅgala is an Agnitattva Graha that invigorates the Vāyu. The person is troubled by windy diseases due to the effects of Śani on the Lagna. Ownership of occupation of the Lagna by a Krūragraha indicates health troubles or a sickly physique.
Due to the effects of the Rāśi symbol, i.e., the deer with a crocodile, the native has a bright appearance (deer) with an elevated nose (crocodile). They have fidgety eyes, like a deer.
Due to the effects of Śani, the Kāraka for weakness, the native has less physical strength. The native has a frail and lean body and often suffer from bodily pains, arthritis and rheumatism at old age. Due to the effects of Śani on the Lagna, the native has a hairy body.
Due to the effects of Candra on the 5th house, the native has many sons. Candra is the Kāraka for pregnancy and motherhood and manifests his strength in the 5th house. 5th is the Uccarāśi of Candra, and Ucca Graha denotes a Son.
Due to the Nīca effects of Budha in the 3rd house, the native is devoid of good conduct and virtues. The Guṇas and talent come from the 3rd house of hands. The 9th lord of Bhāgya or destiny, Budha, manifests his weakness in the 3rd house, and the 3rd lord Bṛhaspati manifests his weakness in the Lagna. Unless the 3rd lord Bṛhaspati is fortified in a Kuṇḍalī, the native has nothing to display in an assembly of scholars.
Due to the effects of the Rāśi, the native is tormented by thirst. The Rāśi is very dry being governed by Vāyutattva Śani and is the Uccakṣetra for Agnitattva Maṅgala. Besides this, the 2nd house of food and drinks is also a dry Vāyutattva Rāśi, owned by the Vāyutattva Śani.
Due to the favourable effects of Śukra, the native is liked by women. The Kāraka Śukra is friendly towards the Lagneśa Śani and attains Ucca in the house of sexuality, the 3rd house. The native has strong sexuality. He is also relationship-oriented because the 7th lord of courtship attains Ucca in the 5th house of likings.
Due to the strong effects of Vāyuttatva and Agnitattva, the native wanders in hills and forests. Vāyuttatva and Agnitattva denote movement. Makara Rāśi is also a Cararāśi indicating movement. The Rāśi governs swamps and denotes a deer, which indicates that the native likes to move around in jungles and hilly areas.
They have a thirst for gaining knowledge of śāstras, Vedas, fine arts, music and musical instruments due to the effects of Budha in the 9th house of divinity and higher learning. Budha, the 9th lord, manifests his strength in the 9th house, indicating this. Budha governs over knowledge of Śāstras, Vedas, fine arts, music, and musical instruments etc. Besides this, formal learning is seen from the 4th house, where the 4th lord manifests his strength in the Lagna and Sūrya, the Kāraka for rhythm manifests his strength in the 4th house. Besides this, Candra, the Kāraka for music and signing, manifests his strength in the 5th house of self-learning and innate talent.
They have little strength and are usually frail because Lagneśa Śani is the Kāraka for old age and weakness. Besides that, strength is seen from Lagna and 3rd lord of physical strength, the strength of the arms, and enterprise, Bṛhaspati manifests his weakness in the Lagna, indicating this.
The Makara person is a family person because of the fortification of the 2nd house of family. The Lagneśa Śani is also the ruler of the 2nd house, indicating that the native is concerned about the family’s well-being and is always engaged in their physical and mental well-being, growth, and prosperity.
One downside of people born in this Lagna is that they are hostile, wicked, and ill-disposed towards relatives. This is because the 5th lord Śukra manifests his weakness in the 9th house of Devatā, Guru, Brāhmaṇa, pita (father) and atithi (guests). 5th denotes one’s innate motivations and things that make them contented. The disposition of the 5th lord in a Kuṇḍalī says a lot about one’s likes, dislikes and what motivates them. 5th house denotes what prevails in the minds of people. This issue is not, however, real in all cases, and people who have great devotion to their relatives are seen who good host of their guests are when the 5th and 9th lord Śukra and Budha are dignified in the Kuṇḍalī and are under Śubhayutidṛṣṭi.
The native is splendorous with a bright aura which makes them appear bright and sunny. It is natural for them to spread hope and optimism to their surroundings. Ucca of Lagneśa gives the splendour in the Rāśi of Śukra, the most beautiful Graha in the zodiac. It is also the 10th house indicating natural leadership qualities.
A Makara born person has an unpleasant spouse, i.e., the appearance of the person is unsightly. Even though this is not the case always, but it is seen in some cases. This is mainly because Candra governing spouse is not welcome in the Lagna, as Candra gets afflicted in this Rāśi. Candra also manifests his weakness in the house of gain, indicating the spouse is not supportive in matters concerning income.
One excellent quality of a Makara person is that they do not like talking against someone’s back, indulge in gossiping or rumour-mongering. Such attributes are seen from the 8th house with a predominant influence of Sūrya, a Sattvaguṇi Graha. The 8th lord Sūrya attains Ucca in the 4th house of the heart and transparency. Sūrya, like Bṛhaspati, being a dignified Graha, does not indulge in backbiting.
The Makara person is wealthy because of the connection of the 2nd and the 10th house, both connected with finances and honour. The 2nd lord Śani manifests his strength in the 10th house, the Artha Kendra. The 2nd house stands for Dhana or wealth, and the 10th house is the governor of the Artha Trikoṇa (2, 6, 10). The 10th is owned by Śukra, denoting the blessings of Devī Lakṣmī, the goddess of wealth.
The native is righteous and an ardent follower of Dharma because of the fortification of the 9th lord in the 9th house of Dharma. Earlier, we noticed that the person is devoid of good conduct and virtues. Then how can that person be righteous and virtuous? Normally, the person is drawn to a righteous path. Still, there is a contradiction in life as 5th, and 10th lord Śukra attains Nīca in the 9th house indicating that when Śukra and Budha are weak in the Kuṇḍalī, the native walks away from his Dharma and is drawn towards another Dharma.
The person serves the king or the government. The person can work in the government or bureaucracy. The government or the king is seen from the 10th house, where Lagneśa Śani manifests his strength. The person likely achieves some government recognition in life, provided the 10th lord Śukra, Lagneśa Śani and Kāraka Sūrya are favourably placed in the Kuṇḍalī and are fortified.
A Makara born is highly charitable mainly because of the power of their Dharma and their extravagant hand. The fortification of the 9th house indicates that they are naturally Dharmic and righteous, and besides that, the 12th lord of expenses manifests his weakness in the Lagna. This indicates that the person has a weakness of not being able to control his expenditure. The native has a habit of spending too much, thus causing troubles in savings.
The person is generally happy and contented because of the strong Dharma in life and the manifestation of Candra’s strength in the 5th house of inner harmony and contentment. Happiness and contentment arise from helping others, being charitable, and following the righteous path. It is one’s good deeds, smiles on other’s faces, and blessings that make one happy. Besides this, for this Lagna, the lord of comfort, i.e., the 4th lord, is Maṅgala, who manifests his strength in the Lagna. The Kāraka for happiness is Bṛhaspati, who manifests his strength in the 7th house of denoting strangers or the outside world. This indicates that the native derives happiness by helping others.
The Makara person is fortunate and endearing because the lord of comforts, the 4th lord, manifests his strength in the Lagna. He is fortunate because the lord of fortune, the 9th lord, Budha, manifests his strength in the house of fortune. The 2nd, 5th, and 9th lords are also good friends supporting each other. 2nd is the house of family and wealth, 5th is the inner mind, and the 9th is the Dharma and fortune. This means the person is supported by having a good family and wealth, and he engages in righteous deeds, which gives contentment and happiness and makes him fortunate.
