Capricorn's best tool this Mahashtami is a patient ear. The Moon remains in your own sign for a second day, now in Shravana, the nakshatra of listening, symbolised by the ear and ruled by Vishnu. Shani, your ruler, retrograde in your third house of communication, supports careful speech. Rahu in your second, the house of words, can push you to say too much.




Shravana Moon on Your SignWith Shravana on your lagna, people open up to you. A parent or a friend may share a worry they have kept hidden. Let them finish. Ask one question, then listen again.




Solutions can wait until tomorrow.




Rahu in the Second and Your WordsRahu in the second house can make speech exaggerated or sharp. At festival gatherings, steer clear of gossip and comments on other people's choices.




Shani in your third rewards those who think before they speak. Short, sincere replies win more respect than long arguments.
