Makara Rashi
మకర
Makara Rashi (మకర రాశి), known as Capricorn in Western astrology, is the tenth sign of the Vedic zodiac. Ruled by Saturn (Shani), Makara natives are disciplined achievers who build lasting structures through patience, hard work, and perseverance. This cardinal earth sign is presided over by Varuna, god of cosmic order and justice, giving Makara people a strong sense of responsibility, integrity, and the knowledge that genuine success comes through sustained effort over time. Patient and methodical, they often achieve the most in the second half of life when their years of diligent effort finally compound into exceptional results.
