Makara Rashi 🌿 Health
Makara Health: Joints, Bones & Time
Makara rules the knees, joints, and skeletal system. Saturn's influence on time makes these issues develop slowly — arthritis, knee problems, and bone density concerns often emerge in midlife. The skin (Saturn also rules the skin) is another area of focus. Makara's disciplined nature is their greatest health asset; the risk is overwork and suppressing health concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions
What body part does Makara rule?
The knees, joints, and skeletal system. Makara's knees are the literal load-bearing point — they carry the weight of the sign's ambition. Preventive knee and joint care (weight management, low-impact exercise, anti-inflammatory diet) is important, especially past age 40.
What helps Makara's health?
Consistent routines that include weight-bearing exercise (walking, strength training), calcium-rich foods for bones, adequate rest (Saturn-types are prone to overwork), and skin moisturising routines. Yoga with emphasis on hip and knee opening is excellent for Makara.
