Saturn in Capricorn Sidereal

शनि · Shani in Makara

Shani in Makara: little care for oneself, aptitude to lead a city, village or army, lasting authority; same reading in Kumbha.

The bath can wait: you show a certain detachment from caring for yourself. It is the most human trait of Shani in Makara, the sidereal Capricorn, one of its two signs. The rest is weightier: leading a city, a village or an army, which expresses an aptitude for directing, and lasting authority. Enjoyment of what you have acquired yourself is added. Kumbha, Shani's second sign, receives the same reading.

Shani rules this sign. To read the sign itself, open Capricorn sidereal; to read all about Shani, see the Shani guide.

Why is my Saturn not in the same sign as in Western astrology?

The sidereal zodiac of Vedic astrology is shifted by about 24 degrees from the zodiac of the seasons: most planets move back one sign. Calculating your Vedic chart gives you their true place.
