Makar Sankranthi (Ponggal)
The transit of the Sun into the Cardinal Earth Sign Capricorn is celebrated in many parts of the world. In the Northern Hemisphere this transit is the beginning the 6 month “warming cycle” as the Sun progresses northwards, bringing warmer weathers. Other then its obvious agricultural significance, Makar Sankranthi is also a very powerful initiating power that can be used in all areas of life. Ponggal is the time for all “beginnings”, so whatever we decide to start during this transit is supported by this incredible pushing energy.
New Moon (Amavasya)
New Moon is the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon. The Sun travels about 1 degree in 24 hours and the much faster Moon travels (on average) 13.3 degrees in 24 hours. Even though the Moon goes a full circle around the Zodiac in 27 days, this is not quite good enough to catch up with the Sun, as the Sun has been also moving 27 degrees, so now the Moon has these 3 days worth of catching up to do, spacing the Lunar Events we call New Moon 30 days apart on average.
Kaal Sarp Period The Serpent Curse
Even though the majority of people do not have Kaal Sarp curse in their Birth Chart, we all experience these Kaal Sarp periods every now and then in our lives. When the slow moving planets Saturn and Jupiter are on the same side of the Rahu Ketu Axis, there is a good chance for Kaal Sarp to form.
