Vrishchik Sankranti 2025: Scorpio Sankranti holds great significance in Hinduism. Lord Surya is specially worshipped on this day. In astrology, the Sun is considered the king of eclipses. Therefore, this transit is expected to bring honour and positive change. Scorpio Sankranti is on November 16th, and if specific special measures are taken at night on this day, happiness and prosperity can increase.
Daan Lamps for the Sun and Ancestors
On the night of Scorpio Sankranti, after sunset, it is considered auspicious to light a sesame oil lamp in the home’s prayer place or near the Tulsi plant. One lamp should also be lit under a Peepal tree; doing so brings peace to the souls of ancestors.
Methods for Wealth Growth
After bathing at night, wear red clothes. Then, sit in front of the idol of Goddess Lakshmi in the home temple and recite the Shri Sukta. Fill a copper pot with Ganga water or pure water, and sprinkle it throughout the house the next day.
Donate blankets and food
Donating warm clothes, blankets, and food on the day or night of Scorpio Sankranti is considered auspicious. According to belief, donating blankets also reduces the inauspicious effects of Saturn and Rahu. Furthermore, doing so ensures that there is never a food shortage in the home. However, remember to always donate to a needy person.
Circumambulate the Peepal Tree
On the evening of Scorpio Sankranti, one should go near the Peepal tree, offer water, and circumambulate it seven times. After circumambulating, one should express one’s wishes. According to belief, all gods and goddesses reside in the Peepal tree. Doing so removes all troubles and brings prosperity.
