Kanya Sankranti comes in the sixth Hindu lunar month of Bhadrapada. This is also known as Bhadra Sankranti. This day is dedicated to the worship of the divine architect, engineer, and sculptor, Lord Vishwakarma.
The people who are craftsmen, engineers, vehicle owners, architects, and traders in the above sectors pay their respects to Lord Vishwakarma. They seek his blessings to gain profound innovative vision and smooth functioning of their tools. The slog and skill of the blue collar workers are appreciated.
Kanya Sankranti simply means that Sun is transiting through the sign of Virgo. The Sun which was positioned in his own sign of Leo enters the realm of Mercury.
Leo is a regal and fiery sign whereas Virgo is an earth sign who focuses on servitude and humility.
This transformation is reflected in the tradition of praying to Lord Vishwakarma, the god associated chiefly with craftsmen, artisans, engineers, tools, and machinery, or jobs which need manual labour and skills.
According to the Drik Panchang, Kanya Sankranti falls on Wednesday, September 17, 2025 according to the Gregorian calendar.
In Vedic astrology, whenever Sun transits through a new zodiac sign, he is given a new name which denotes its association with that particular zodiac. This gives us twelve Aditya or sun incarnations. Each name represents a particular aspect of Sun and his role in the cosmic scheme.
Likewise, when the Sun enters the sign of Virgo, it is known as Vivaswan. It represents the Jatharagni (the digestive fire). The mantra associated with its worship is "Aum Ghrini Vivas Aditya”.
When Sun enters Virgo from Leo it transits across three nakshatra or constellation: UttaraPhalguni, Hasta and Chitra
Each nakshatra has a different ruler. They exert their influence on the sun. So, the ruling planet of the nakshatra, the ruling planet of the zodiac sign, and the sun, all of them collectively decide the outcome of the transit.
Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra is owned by the sun Here the Sun is powerful. So, a well placed sun in the natal chart will yield positive outcomes during this part of the transit.
The hand-shaped nakshatra is ruled by another luminary, the moon. Sun emphasizes creativity and emotions.
This constellation is associated with photography, real estate, fashion and graphic arts. These fields may see sudden changes or challenges.
