Do this on Sankranti to calm Saturn
Sun Enters Capricorn on Sankranti Day
On Sankranti day, the Sun moves into the Capricorn zodiac sign. Astrologers suggest performing certain rituals on this day to reduce the effects of Saturn, especially for those experiencing Saturn’s influence, like Sade Sati, Ashtama Shani, or Ardhastama Shani.
Makara Sankranti
Each month, the Sun moves through different zodiac signs. When it moves from Sagittarius to Capricorn, we celebrate Makara Sankranti. Capricorn is ruled by Saturn, who is the Sun’s son. Therefore, performing rituals on this day is believed to reduce Saturn’s negative effects on your life.
Time When Saturn‘s Influence Diminishes
Astrologers say that when the Sun shifts from Dakshinayan (southern course) to Uttarayan (northern course), it stays with Saturn for about a month. During this time, the Sun’s power reduces Saturn’s influence.
Special Significance of Sesame Seeds
On Sankranti day, it is believed that Saturn welcomes his father, the Sun, with black sesame seeds. The Sun is pleased with this and promises that anyone offering black sesame seeds on this day will be free from Saturn’s troubles and experience prosperity. Therefore, people use black sesame seeds in worship during Makara Sankranti.
Donation and Worship
Performing donations and worship on Sankranti is said to bring double the benefits. It’s important to wake up before sunrise, take a bath, and offer water mixed with black sesame seeds. Then, think of Saturn and offer sesame seeds to the Sun. After worship, donating sesame oil, black sesame seeds, and sesame laddus is believed to reduce Saturn’s effects and bring happiness.
Influence of Saturn
Saturn’s movement through certain houses of your natal moon sign can cause problems:
- Sade Sati: Saturn’s transit through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd houses causes obstacles, health issues, financial problems, and disputes.
- Ardhastama Shani: Saturn’s transit through the 4th house brings family issues, job troubles, and health problems for the mother.
- Ashtama Shani: Saturn’s transit through the 8th house brings job issues, business problems, health troubles, and unexpected losses.
- Dashama Shani: Saturn’s transit through the 10th house brings court cases, disputes, and sudden transfers.
To reduce these troubles, offering sesame seeds to the Sun, making donations, and performing rituals on Sankranti day are recommended.
