FAQ
Monthly horoscope FAQs
How is the monthly horoscope made?
It works out which signs the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Mars occupy during the month and when they change sign, and reads each as a house from your Moon sign. Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu give the background, and the Moon gives the Chandrashtama dates and the best days.
What is a sankranti?
A sankranti is the day the Sun enters the next sign of the sidereal zodiac, as in Makar Sankranti. It falls around the 14th to 17th of each month, and it is when the Sun's results for your sign change.
