How this rashifal is made
The reading comes from the house the Moon occupies counted from Makara (Chandra gochara), worked out for the date and city above. The Moon spends two to two and a half days in each sign, so the reading changes every couple of days; if it changes sign during the day the page shows the time. Shani, Guru and Rahu give the slower background, including Sade Sati and Dhaiya.
Is Makara my rashi?
