🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Usually, Pongal is celebrated in mid-January during *Makar Sankranti*, but spiritual observances can vary. On 27th September 2026, the Sun transits through Virgo, while Saturn remains in retrograde in Pisces. This alignment emphasizes *Karma* and purification. In Mumbai, the coastal energy amplifies the Sun’s influence on our inner vitality. Since the Sun is the soul and Saturn is the taskmaster, this period asks for discipline and gratitude for the harvest of your efforts. **Remedy:** Offer *Jaggery* and black sesame seeds to the birds at dawn. This pleases both the Sun and Saturn, ensuring prosperity and protection in your home. Stay blessed!
