The Sun changes zodiac sign approximately once a month, making 12 sign changes (Sankrantis) in a year. Each Sankranti marks the beginning of a new solar month and is astrologically significant — Makar Sankranti, Mesh Sankranti, and Karka Sankranti are especially celebrated. The Sun's rashi transit directly influences government matters, career authority, health vitality, and father-related events. When the Sun transits favourable houses from your Moon sign, expect recognition and confidence; in challenging positions, watch for ego clashes and health strain.
