India is a rich culture and every festival coincide with the cosmic changes. There is a beautiful Connection developed between the Indian traditions and the planetary influences since ages.
One of the biggest example of this is Jagannath Rath Yatra and the son’s transition into cancer sign. This is known as Kark Sankranti. While the Yatra symbolises the divine meeting the devotees, the Kark Sankranti symbolises the transition of solar energy.
Mr. Prashant Kapoor, founder of AstroKapoor talks in this blog about the astrological significance of Rath Yatra and Kark Sankranti.
What is Jagannath Rath Yatra?
Jagannath Rath Yatra takes place in Puri in the Indian state of Orissa. This year, it will be between 15th July to 27th July. The snan, where the deities will be given a bath will take place on 15th July. The yatra begins from 16th July.
Lord Jagannath, his brother Balabhadra and sister Subhadra are dressed up in colourful attires. They start their journey in beautiful chariot from Jagannath Temple to Gundicha Temple.
The people participating in the Yatra are from all walks of life. It is a celebration that does not recognise any caste or financial standing of the devotee.
The moving chariot is the journey of life. Body stands for chariot. Mind stands for the Driver. Soul is the traveller and divine wisdom is the destination.
The people moving the chariot are on their journey towards liberation and reaching divine consciousness.

What is Kark Sankranti?
Kark Sankranti takes place when the Sun transits into the Kark Rashi. This is an important moment since this is the beginning of Sun’s movement towards the South.
As per Vedic scriptures, it is called Dakshinayana.
Since Kark sign is ruled by the moon, it reflects mind and emotions. That is why this phase is a very emotionally transformative one.
As per Mr. Prashant Kapoor, during this phase, people can move away from their ego driven mentality and move towards emotional wisdom and divine consciousness.
What is the connection between Jagannath Rath Yatra and Kark Sankranti?
Both these events share a strong connection despite differing beliefs while the Yatra symbolises divine consciousness, the Sankranti stands for movement of cosmic solar energy.
However, in combination, these events symbolise divine consciousness, emotional transformation, and spiritual healing.
While one event is an external celebration, and the other is an introspection, these two events create a perfect balance of spiritual consciousness.
What are the rituals to be performed?
Offering water to the Sun
Offer water to the sun after waking up early in the morning and getting ready. This ritual strengthens the placement of the weak Sun and increases confidence. This ritual also brings clarity in decision-making.
Charity and Donations
Donate black sesame seeds, rice jaggery to the underprivileged sections of the society. This reduces the karmic burdens. This also reduces the malefic influences of Rahu and Shani.
Feed the animals
Feed cows with grass and birds with grains. This ritual develops compassion and reduces the obstacles. This act of kindness also reduces the emotional burden. It purifies the karmic energies.
Apart from these rituals, one should also visit temples and do a part of Vishnu Sahasranamam. One should also meditate and pray to the ancestors during this time.
Why is Moon healing important?
Kark sign is ruled by the moon. Moon stands for emotions, mind, and mental peace. Therefore, for an emotionally vulnerable person, this transition could lead to an upheaval. Therefore, it is essential that one does moon healing practises during this time.
Rituals are simple. They can light a candle and sit by the moonlight. They can also journal so that their thoughts are expressed. Sitting by the moonlight, also calm the mind that leads to better sleep and more concentration. It also helps in improving family harmony.
