Makar Sankranti 2021

Makar Sankranti is one of the most important festivals in India. Well, let me first explain you the actual meaning of Sankranti. In India, Sankranti is celebrated on the day when Sun enters new sign. There are 12 signs in our birth chart and when sun changes its position from one sign to another, the day is celebrated as Sankranti. So, there are 12 Sankranti’s in a year and the most important Sankranti amongst them is Makar Sankranti. On this day, Sun transits into the natural 10th house of zodiac, Capricorn which is also known as midheaven. Sun is considered very auspicious and powerful in this sign. Also, Sun will be in its own Nakshatra Uttarashada which signifies invincible victory.

Now let’s dig deeper that how this sun transit in Capricorn affects us.

According to some ancient stories, it is believed that on this day Sun god enters the house of his own son Saturn by forgetting all rivalry within him. That’s why this day becomes important as the natural atmakaraka representing our soul enters the house of karmas. This house is of prime importance and therefore, donations given on this day gives very good results.

Also, as Sun will entered in northern hemisphere, it is believed that the period of Uttar Ayana has started which is highly auspicious according to our ancient seers. According to Surya Siddhanta, Uttarayana is the period between the Makar Sankranti and Karka Sankranti (which occurs around July 16).It is also said that 6 months of Uttarayana are single day of God.

So, what has the Makar Sankranti of 2021 has in store for you?

The planetary situations in 2021 on the day of Makar Sankranti is quite different from the past years this time. The reason being Sun forming conjunction with 4 more planets in the sign of Capricorn. Now, Sun will conjunct Jupiter, Saturn, Moon, Mercury in the sign of Capricorn. This will create many shifts in the globe in many spheres. The start of new Hindu month will quite dramatic and can offer huge opportunities and setback too. However, the day is generally auspicious for all tasks.

Now let’s analyze these combinations in more detail seeking what they actually represent in chart and how their combination will affect us.

Sun will be transiting the nakshatra of Uttarashada which is ruled by Sun itself. It will be vargotamma in the 2nd pada of Uttarashada. Sun nakshatra which makes it quite powerful to bestow results. Saturn will be transiting 4th pada of Uttarashada. Sun and Saturn together in the nakshatra of sun doesn’t make a good combination as they are enemies. This highlights a strife between the working class and governments. However, an interesting point to note here is that Saturn is in Abhijeet nakshatra. Many researchers believe that the nakshatra of Abhijit which is the most auspicious one still exists within the span of Uttarashada 4th pada and some part of Shraavana. The house lord becomes exceptionally strong though in affliction from luminaries giving power to all other planets.

Moon will be in its own nakshatra of Shraavana with Jupiter. This nakshatra is connected with Lord Vishnu and mainly Vamana avatar of Lord Vishnu. This is forming a great yoga as both are good friends and they will be aspecting Cancer (exalted sign of Jupiter and own sign of moon). This makes it a great day to honor our gurus in this birth and seek their blessings. Mercury will also be forming conjunction with moon and Jupiter in Shraavana. This makes the energy of preservation i.e. role of Lord Vishnu supreme on this day. You need to surrender yourself before the palanhaara for reaping best results in the forthcoming time period.

This nakshatra is related to listening and being receptive to knowledge gathered by the ears. Thus, it’s a great time to initiate new learning especially related to music and arts. The nakshatra also has the power of healing and supportive energy. We all should use this energy for universal good rather than focusing on selfish means.
