In Hindu astrology, the timing of any important or auspicious work is decided only after carefully analyzing planetary positions, constellations, and specific yogas. While there are periods considered highly favorable, there are also certain time frames that are believed to bring obstacles and negative outcomes. Kharmas and Panchak are two such periods when starting new or auspicious activities is generally avoided. In 2025, the situation becomes even more sensitive as Panchak falls during Kharmas, creating what astrologers describe as a “double dosha period.”

According to astrological calculations, the last Panchak of the year 2025 begins on December 24 (Wednesday) and will continue until December 29 (Monday). Since this Panchak occurs during Kharmas, its impact is considered more intense. Astrology experts warn that this phase may be especially challenging for people belonging to four zodiac signs, who are advised to remain cautious during this period.

What Is Kharmas and Why Is It Considered Inauspicious?

Kharmas is a period of approximately one month that begins when the Sun transits into Sagittarius or Pisces. During this time, auspicious ceremonies such as marriages, housewarming rituals, and new business ventures are traditionally avoided. The belief is that the Sun’s weakened position during Kharmas reduces positive cosmic energy, making it unsuitable for new beginnings.

Panchak, on the other hand, is a five-day period that occurs when the Moon transits through certain constellations. Panchak is also considered unfavorable for many activities. When Panchak overlaps with Kharmas, it is regarded as a double inauspicious phase, amplifying challenges, delays, and potential losses.

Why This Panchak Is More Sensitive

Kharmas lasts for nearly a month, while Panchak remains effective for only five days. However, when these two periods coincide, astrologers believe the negative influence doubles. This is exactly what is happening between December 24 and December 29, 2025. During this time, individuals belonging to specific zodiac signs are advised to avoid risky decisions, financial transactions, and unnecessary conflicts.

Taurus: Maintain Calm and Avoid Conflicts

People born under the Taurus zodiac sign need to exercise extra caution during this period. Astrologers suggest staying away from arguments and maintaining mental peace. Working professionals may experience increased pressure at the workplace, along with a lack of cooperation from colleagues.

In personal life, misunderstandings with a spouse or partner may arise. Patience and compromise will be key to maintaining harmony. Avoid reacting impulsively, as small issues may escalate into bigger conflicts during this sensitive phase.

Cancer: Be Careful With Money and Speech

For Cancer natives, this Panchak during Kharmas can bring financial and emotional challenges. Astrology advises avoiding any kind of money lending or borrowing during these five days. There may be an increase in household expenses, and financial strain could cause stress.

It is also important for Cancer individuals to control their speech and behavior. Harsh words or emotional reactions may lead to unnecessary disputes, both at home and outside. If financial problems arise, avoid taking loans, as this could further complicate matters.

Sagittarius: Expect Ups and Downs

The double dosha period may bring significant fluctuations for Sagittarius natives. Family-related issues could become a source of concern, and mental restlessness may increase. Negative thoughts or anxiety may affect decision-making, so astrologers recommend staying spiritually grounded and maintaining faith.

Career-wise, Sagittarius individuals may face situations involving job changes, transfers, or frequent travel. While these changes may feel unsettling at first, patience and careful planning can help minimize negative effects.

Pisces: Focus on Health and Family Matters

For Pisces natives, this period calls for heightened awareness, especially regarding health and daily responsibilities. Astrologers advise taking care of not just personal health but also the well-being of family members. While traveling, it is important to keep a close watch on belongings to avoid losses.

During these five days, Pisces individuals may face multiple challenges at once, including household issues, work delays, and financial shortages. Stress within the family could also impact relationships with a spouse or partner, making emotional balance crucial.

What Should Be Avoided During This Period?

During Kharmas Panchak Kaal, astrologers generally recommend avoiding new investments, major purchases, business launches, and important ceremonies. Instead, this time can be used for introspection, planning, and spiritual practices. Staying calm, disciplined, and cautious can help reduce the negative influence of this period.
