News India Live, Digital Desk: Sankranti has special significance in Hinduism, and when Sun God enters his exalted sign Aries, it is called ‘Mesh Sankranti’. This festival of Aries Sankranti in the year 2026 is bringing a very special coincidence. In many parts of North India it is also known as ‘Satua Sankranti’. According to religious beliefs, the solar year begins from this day and this day is considered extremely auspicious for charity as well as success in career.
Religious significance and tradition of Satua Sankranti
Satua Sankranti is mainly associated with the donation and consumption of Sattu. It is believed that consumption of Sattu at the onset of scorching heat provides coolness to the body. Donating sattu, jaggery, pitcher and seasonal fruits after taking bath in holy rivers on this day provides eternal results. According to astrology, special worship of Sun God on this day increases a person’s self-confidence and strengthens the position of the Sun in the horoscope.
Surefire solution for success in career
Offering water (Arghya) to the Sun God on the day of Aries Sankranti is considered most fruitful. If you are looking for progress in your career or business, then on this day fill a copper pot with water, add red sandalwood, red flowers and Akshat and offer it to the Sun while chanting the mantra ‘Om Suryay Namah’. Along with this, reciting Aditya Hridaya Stotra on this day can prove to be especially beneficial for people preparing for administrative services and government jobs.
Blessings and charity of ancestors
There is also a tradition of offering tarpan for the ancestors on this auspicious date. On Satua Sankranti, ancestors are pleased by filling water in an earthen pitcher and donating it by placing Sattu on it. It is believed that donations made on this day not only remove the troubles of the present life, but also open the doors of happiness and prosperity for the coming generations. Water, umbrella, slippers and sattu have been given special importance in donation.
Effect of Sun’s zodiac change on zodiac signs
Sun’s arrival in Aries will affect all the 12 zodiac signs. Aries is the exalted sign of the Sun, so this time symbolizes energy and courage. Especially for the people of Aries, Leo and Sagittarius, this time is good for starting new works. Whereas for other zodiac signs, it is a period of restraint and introspection. To take advantage of this position of the planets, it is advised to reduce salt intake and wear red clothes on Sunday.
