16 December 2025 – 14 January 2026 (Till Makara Sankranti)
— ✦ —
Opening Insight
Every year, there comes a silent cosmic pause. A period when life feels a little slower, new work takes extra effort, and the universe seems to whisper, “Not now.” This is Kharmas, also known as Malmaas – the time when the Sun enters Sagittarius and moves through a zone where auspicious beginnings are discouraged.
From 16th December 2025 to 14th January 2026, the Sun’s journey holds deep spiritual significance and invites us to turn inward rather than outward.

What Is Kharmas?
Kharmas is a sacred phase in the Hindu lunar calendar when the Sun transits through Sagittarius (Dhanu Rashi), followed by Capricorn. Traditionally, it is considered an inauspicious time for material beginnings such as:
Marriages
Buying property
Starting a new business
Major investments
New ventures that require growth and speed
Kharmas ends with the Sun entering Capricorn, marked by Makara Sankranti, a festival of new beginnings, abundance, and forward momentum.

Why Does Kharmas Happen? (Cosmic Significance)
1. The Sun’s Weak Position
Sagittarius is ruled by Jupiter, and though friendly, this transit pulls the Sun’s fiery ego into a spiritual, introspective zone.
Life slows down so inner alignment can catch up with outer actions.
2. The Universe Encourages Purification
Kharmas is spiritually designed for:
Clearing karma
Completing pending tasks
Refining intentions
Releasing emotional burdens
Before any fresh start, the universe asks us to lighten our energy.
3. Energy of Pauses and Delays
New beginnings during this period often feel:
Slow
Stuck
Frustrating
Uncertain
That is not failure; it is the universe saying, “This needs more clarity.”

What Should Be Done During Kharmas?
1. Complete Pending Tasks
This is the perfect period to finish old commitments rather than begin new ones.
2. Strengthen Spiritual Practices
Meditation
Chanting
Pranayama
Reading sacred texts
Charity and service
Kharmas is a deeply sattvic (pure) time.
3. Declutter Your Life
Clean your space
Organize finances
Resolve emotional blockages
Heal strained relationships
A lighter life prepares you for a powerful restart after Makara Sankranti.
4. Review Your Goals
Instead of launching new projects, review the old ones:
What needs alignment?
What needs correction?
What deserves your energy?

Why Do New Beginnings Struggle During Kharmas?
1. Cosmic Pause on Material Growth
The Sun represents:
Vitality
Leadership
Initiation
Action
During Kharmas, this energy is inward-turned. External expansion becomes slow or faces obstacles.
2. Strength of Past Karma
Old karma surfaces strongly during this phase.
This may show up as:
Delays
Miscommunication
Unexpected expenses
Emotional heaviness
Lack of motivation
It’s not a punishment; it’s a cleansing.
3. Lessons of Patience and Surrender
Kharmas teaches one of the hardest spiritual lessons:
Not every season is a season of action. Some are seasons of alignment.
4. Energetic Reset Before Makara Sankranti
Once the Sun moves to Capricorn, momentum returns.
New ideas start flowing. Delays lift.
Suddenly, everything begins to move again.
This shift itself proves that Kharmas is not a blockage—
It is preparation.

Soul Tip
Kharmas is not a period of fear.
It is a divine invitation to pause, purify, and prepare.
When the universe slows your steps, it is aligning you with the perfect timing ahead.
— ✦ —
Closing Note
Use this period from 16th December to 14th January to breathe, realign, and complete what’s already in motion.
Your new chapter begins with Makara Sankranti, when the Sun brings fresh energy, stability, and strength.
Kharmas clears the past; Sankranti opens the future.
