Sankranti according to Jyotish refers to the equinoxes, the solstices, and the Sun's entry (ingress) into a new sidereal sign every month. In Sanskrit the term "sankranti" means "course, passage, or entry into." According to classical Muhurta (elective astrology), we should avoid sankrantis for beginning a new action like starting a job or new program of study, making a significant purchase, setting out on a journey, establishing a new business venture, or getting engaged or married, etc. This is because the Sun is the soul of the world and the vitality of everything in life, and it needs to be strong when we set anything "big" into motion if we want it to have positive lasting success. The sankrantis are turning points when the Sun's energy is transitional and "on the edge of change." Often what we set into motion on sankrantis will not have the expected outcome as the solar energy is not strong enough to carry it. However, sankrantis are great periods for inner reflection, rituals and ceremonies, and generally just maintaining the status quo, and they are periods when we need to be especially mindful as we can be very vulnerable physically, emotionally and mentally.
The Muhurta rules (for elective astrology) as explained above are as follows:
1. Avoid a half day (12 hours or ½ zodiacal degree) before and after the monthly sankranti when the Sun is sandhi, on the edge and changing from one sign to another.
