🪷 2076 Saṅkrānti Calendar · 12 Solar Transitions

Every Sun-into-new-rāśi event · the 12 cosmic turnings of the year

अग्निर्ज्योतिरहः शुक्लः षण्मासा उत्तरायणम्।
तत्र प्रयाता गच्छन्ति ब्रह्म ब्रह्मविदो जनाः॥
"Fire · light · day · the bright fortnight · the six months of Uttarāyaṇa — those who depart by these reach Brahman, those who know Brahman." — Bhagavad-Gītā 8.24 — Makara-Saṅkrānti opens the Uttarāyaṇa-gate

A Saṅkrānti is the moment the Sun crosses from one rāśi (sidereal zodiac sign) to the next. Twelve per year · marking the cosmic clock. Makara-Saṅkrānti (Sun-into-Capricorn · January) begins Uttarāyaṇa (the northern course · the auspicious half-year for spiritual departure). Karka-Saṅkrānti (Sun-into-Cancer · July) begins Dakṣiṇāyana (the southern course).
