If Makar is your rashi (Moon sign)
Inside, you carry duty quietly. You rarely show that you are tired.
Earth signs are practical and steady. They like things they can see and build. Movable signs like to begin things and keep moving.
If Makar is your lagna (rising sign)
People see you as serious and capable. They give you big jobs early.
Your lagna is the sign that was rising in the east when you were born. It changes about every two hours, so you need your birth time to know it.
When is the Sun in Makar?
In the Indian calendar, the Sun is in Makar from about 14 January to 12 February each year. That makes it your Sun sign if you were born then. Your rashi is different: it is your Moon sign, and it needs your exact birth date and time.
Nakshatras in Makar
Makar holds these nakshatras: Uttara Ashadha (pada 2, 3, 4), Shravana (pada 1, 2, 3, 4), Dhanishta (pada 1, 2).
