Uttarayan, a significant event in Hindu culture, derives its name from two Sanskrit words: uttara (north) and ayan (movement), illustrating the Earth's northward journey on the celestial sphere. This transition begins the day after the winter solstice in January and stretches until summer in June. The astronomical shift occurs when the Sun moves from the Sagittarius sign to Capricorn, marking the start of Uttarayan. As the Sun continues from Cancer to Sagittarius, it is termed Dakshinayan.
On January 14, Uttarayan begins with the Sun's entry into Capricorn, celebrated widely as Makar Sankranti. In Gujarat and Maharashtra, the festival is known as Uttarayan, while in Southern India, it is celebrated as Pongal. This day is considered exceptionally auspicious and is believed to be fruitful for initiating new ventures, performing yajnas, vows, and even marriages, as it is regarded as the day of the gods.
In 2025, Uttarayan phase will be from January 14, 2025, to July 15, 2025. Let's see how each zodiac sign will be affected.
