New Delhi: Vrishchika Sankranti arrives quietly each year, yet many people feel its shift in their own way.
When the Sun moves into Scorpio, the month often takes a more thoughtful turn. Daily routines slow down a little, and there is a natural tendency to look within, set things in order, and approach life with steadiness.
In many homes, this day becomes a small reminder to pause, offer gratitude, and begin the new solar month with a clearer mind.
The 2025 transition carries a steady tone shaped by the nakshatra and the form of the Sankranti Purusha. These details matter to those who follow the Hindu calendar closely because they help explain how the weeks ahead may unfold.
Vrishchika Sankranti is not only a date on the calendar. It is a guide for the coming month and a time to realign one’s priorities.
This year, many are confused about whether Vrishchika Sankranti falls on the 15th or the 16th of November. With that in mind, we can now look at the exact date, the Shubh Muhurat, and the key phalam for Vrishchika Sankranti 2025.

These yogas add strength and purity to the day, encouraging good beginnings and wise decisions.
Hasta Nakshatra adds a brisk, decisive quality to this Sankranti. It influences trade, public behaviour, and seasonal shifts, giving the month ahead a tone marked by action and awareness.
The presence of a Kshipra nakshatra often encourages quicker results, though it asks for discipline in thought and speech.
According to traditional astrology, Vrishchika Sankranti brings distinct results for the month ahead. These outcomes reflect the qualities of Scorpio, the influence of the Moon, and the signs present at the time of the Sun’s transition.
1. Favourable for Traders and Business Owners
The period is supportive for trade, investments, and commercial decisions. Business activity may rise, and opportunities may open for those who plan wisely.
2. Increase in Commodity Prices
Essential items may become costlier. Agricultural products and everyday goods can show noticeable price movement during this time.
3. Rise in Seasonal Health Concerns
Cold, cough, and throat-related issues may increase. Households may benefit from simple preventive care, warm foods, and rest.
4. Greater Chances of Political or Regional Tension
This Sankranti may highlight disagreements between regions or nations. The atmosphere may become sensitive, urging leaders to act with patience and clarity.
These traditional phalam insights help devotees understand how the solar month may unfold and how to navigate its energies with awareness.
The Sankranti Purusha for this month is described with the following attributes:
Name: Ghora Facing: East Sighting: South-West Movement: East Vehicle: Boar Secondary Vehicle: Bull Clothes: Blue Weapon: Khadga Food: Bhiksha Body Paste: Surkha Chandan Caste Symbol: Sarpa Flower: Bakula Posture: Standing Food Vessel: Copper Jewelry: Pearl Upper Cloth: Palm Leaf
As the Sun enters Scorpio, the focus shifts toward emotional strength, discipline, and inner growth. Devotees use this period to reflect on the past month, set new intentions, and take steps toward self-improvement.
Acts of charity, offering water to the Sun, and practicing gratitude are believed to bring peace, clarity, and spiritual merit.
As the Sun settles into Scorpio, the weeks ahead encourage inner steadiness, thoughtful intention, and a renewed sense of purpose.
