Makara (Capricorn) yearly rashifal 2016 - Good

The yearly rashifal for Makara (Capricorn) Moon sign for 2016. A year is shaped mostly by the slow planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, and by the year's eclipses. Each is read here from your Moon sign, with its dates.

This year leans in your favour. The planets that help you are well placed compared with most years, so it is a good time to move plans forward.

How the year runs

  1. First half of the year: 1 January to 30 June

    Mixed

    This stretch is a mix of easy and slower going.

    Saturn works in your favour here, helping with income, gains and friends.

    Jupiter, Rahu and Ketu ask you to go carefully with shared money and sudden changes as well as elders, teachers, faith and long journeys.

    Ketu would help with effort, courage and short trips, but is held back for now, so expect results to come slowly.
