Vrishchik Sankranti 2025: Significance
Vrishchika Sankranti holds an immense religious, spiritual and astrological significace among Hindus. On this auspicious day, Lord Surya moves from previous zodiac sign to another, which means Sun changes its position every month and this time Surya will be moving from Libra zodiac signs to Scropio zodiac sign.

This day is considered as a period for deep cleansing, clarity, deep introspection and inner transformation. Scorpio is associated with mystery, emotional intensity, and the power to rebuild or rebirth. As we all know that on this Vrishchik Sanranti day, the Sun enters in this sign so people might feel a push toward self-reflection, spiritual growth, and shedding old emotional patterns.

This Sankranti also marks the beginning of Vrishchika Masam in the Malayalam calendar and Karthigai Masal in the Tamil calendar—both considered spiritually powerful periods. Taking a holy dip in sacred rivers, performing tarpan for ancestors, and engaging in charitable acts are believed to yield great merit on this day.

Sankranti can be seen as a blessed and auspicious time for performing Shraddha, to make offerings to ancestors, and doing something for the needy or underprivileged people. It is said that skipping a ritual bath during Sankranti can bring misfortune for several births. Donating clothes, feeding cows, and helping the poor are considered especially auspicious acts.

The Sun–Scorpio alignment motivates individuals to embrace change, work on personal improvement, and turn inward for spiritual clarity. It creates an atmosphere ideal for meditation, reflection, and emotional purification.

To offer Arghya, fill a copper vessel with water and mix in red sandalwood, turmeric, roli, and vermilion. A ghee lamp should be lit, and red flowers are used exclusively for Surya worship. Offering jaggery halwa is considered favorable and pleases the Sun.

Worshipping Surya on Vrishchik Sankranti is believed to remove Surya Dosha and Pitra Dosha, and it is said to bring the blessings of Surya Loka. Many devotees also spend time reading sacred scriptures like the Bhagavad Gita or Ramayana, seeking divine guidance during this period of energetic shift.
