Makar Sankranti in Bengaluru
Calculated coordinates: 12.9716° N, 77.5946° E | Timezone: Asia/Kolkata
🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Usually, Makar Sankranti occurs in January, but astrological Sankranti happens every month when Sun enters a new zodiac sign. On 24th August 2026, Sun enters Simha Rashi (Leo). In Bengaluru, this marks a period of high solar energy. During this transit, Sun is in its own sign, boosting leadership and vitality. However, Saturn (Shani) will be in Aquarius, aspecting the Sun, creating a powerful Samasaptaka yoga. This demands discipline and humility. **Remedy:** To balance this energy, offer *Arghya* to the rising Sun with a copper vessel mixed with red flowers. It will clear obstacles and bring mental clarity. Stay blessed and keep shining!
