Kanya Sankranti 2026: Sun transit into Virgo to impact zodiac signs

On September 17, 2026, the Sun will transition from Leo to Virgo, an event known in Vedic astrology as Kanya Sankranti. This transit is expected to impact various zodiac signs differently, particularly regarding finances, health, and relationships.

According to astrological observations, Leo, Aquarius, and Pisces may face specific challenges. Leo individuals might experience friction in communication or financial risks. Aquarius may face health sensitivities or workplace obstacles, while Pisces could encounter tension in marital or partnership dynamics.

To mitigate negative effects and seek career advancement, practitioners suggest performing specific rituals during the 'Mahapunyakal' period, which lasts from 07:58 to 10:01 on the day of the transit. Recommended practices include bathing, donating, offering water to ancestors, and performing Surya Arghya with red flowers and sandalwood while reciting mantras.
