Surya Gochar 2026: Sun God will enter the zodiac sign of friend Mercury on Kanya Sankranti, difficulties will increase for 5 zodiac signs till October 17; Signs of financial loss, conflict in career and health crisis, know the condition of your zodiac sign.

In Vedic astrology, the change in the zodiac sign of Lord Sun, the permanent factor of the king of planets, soul, respect, leadership and father, is considered very influential in astrological calculations. Sun God transits from one zodiac sign to another in about 30 days, which is called ‘Sankranti’. At midnight of 16-17 September 2026, Sun God is ending his journey of his own zodiac sign Leo and is formally entering Virgo, the zodiac sign of dual nature earth element, dominated by his best friend planet Mercury. This astronomical event is known as ‘Kanya Sankranti’ in the Sanatan calendar. Sun God will transit in Virgo till October 17, 2026, where he will create Rajyoga ‘Budhaditya’ by forming a conjunction with Mercury, the significator of business and intelligence.

Although there is a natural friendly relationship between Sun and Mercury, in the horoscope of Kaalpurush, Virgo is represented by the sixth house (the place of diseases, debts and enemies). When the Sun, the ruler of the fire element, steps into the practical and analytical land of Virgo, it has different effects on all 12 zodiac signs. According to astrological calculations, while this transit will bring position, prestige and progress for some zodiac signs, the next 30 days may be full of tough tests, mental stress, unnecessary expenses and family complications for the people of the 5 major zodiac signs.

The great festival of Kanya Sankranti is being celebrated with the entry of Sun into Virgo. In Hindu scriptures, the special importance of pilgrimage bath, Surya Arghya and charity during the sacred period and great sacred period of Sankranti has been mentioned:

• Transit of Sun in Virgo: Late night of 16 September 2026 (early morning of 17 September) at 01:14 AM.

1. Taurus: Concern about children and risk of financial loss in betting.

For the people of Taurus zodiac, this transit of Sun is taking place in the fifth house of the horoscope (knowledge, intelligence, children and love relations).

During this period, students’ concentration may get disturbed and there may be obstacles in their preparation for competitive examinations. Mental stress may increase regarding the health of the children or their company. From a financial point of view, avoid making any kind of risky investments in the stock market, mutual funds, cryptocurrencies or speculation; There is a strong possibility of huge loss. Distance may increase due to ego clash in love relationships, hence maintain humility in your speech.

2. Leo: Effect of Sun in the house of wealth, avoid family troubles and harsh words.

The lord of the Leo zodiac sign is Sun God himself and he is coming out of your zodiac sign and entering the second house of the horoscope (wealth, speech and family). The presence of the fiery planet Sun in the second house will create harshness and bitterness in your speech. Your direct and harsh words may hurt colleagues at work and family members at home, which may lead to discord over family property or in a joint family. There are chances of the accumulated money being spent on unnecessary works. Eye disorders (irritation or pain in the eyes) and oral health problems may cause trouble.
