Soul Cosmic by Himani

As the Sun enters the intense and transformative sign of Scorpio on 17 November 2025, we step into a powerful astrological period known as Vrishchik Sankranti. This is the time when the fiery Surya travels through the water sign ruled by Mars, creating a month charged with depth, renewal, and inner awakening.

Vrishchik Sankranti marks a shift from surface-level living to deeper self-inquiry. It invites us to shed what no longer serves and move towards regeneration — emotionally, spiritually, and karmically.

What is Vrishchik Sankranti?

Vrishchik Sankranti occurs when the Sun moves into Scorpio (Vrishchik Rashi) as per the Vedic sidereal zodiac.
This transit is associated with:

• Spiritual purification
• Hidden truths coming to light
• Emotional transformation
• Increased determination
• Courage to confront fears

Scorpio being a fixed water sign adds intensity and depth to the Sun’s energy. Mars, the ruler of Scorpio, lends strength, strategy, and decisiveness during this period.
