In astrology, the Sun is regarded as the king of all planets and is associated with vitality and the soul. The Sun stays in each zodiac sign for nearly a month, and when it transitions from one sign to another, the event is known as Sankranti. This month, the Sun will move from Libra into Scorpio, marking the occasion of Vrishchik Sankranti. In Hindu tradition, this day holds great spiritual importance.

Devotees worship Lord Surya on this day and offer water in a special ritual. Performing these prayers is believed to bring progress, abundance, career success, and overall well-being. Apart from the daytime rituals, certain specific remedies performed at night during Vrishchik Sankranti are considered highly auspicious and are believed to attract wealth and prosperity into the home.

When is Vrishchik Sankranti in 2025?

According to the Hindu calendar, the Sun will leave Libra and enter Scorpio on November 16, 2025. This transition marks Vrishchik Sankranti. This year, the festival will be observed on Sunday, November 16.

Auspicious Remedies to Perform on the Night of Vrishchik Sankranti

• After sunset, light a lamp filled with sesame oil in your prayer corner or near a Tulsi plant. Another lamp should be placed under a Peepal tree. This practice is believed to bring peace to the souls of ancestors and harmony within the family.

• After taking a bath at night, wear red clothes. Sit before the idol of Goddess Lakshmi in your home temple and recite the Shri Sukta with devotion. Fill a copper vessel with Ganga water. The next morning, sprinkle this water throughout the house to attract wealth, fortune, and prosperity.

• In the evening, visit a Peepal tree and offer water to it. After offering the water, circumambulate the tree seven times. This act is said to remove obstacles, resolve difficulties, and bring positive energy into life.
