Your Turning Point Has Arrived – Sun’s Shift + Your Predictions

Sun in Gandanta ~ First Inspiration then Action

The Sun, ruler of soul and self-expression, is in the Gandanta zone between Pisces and Aries and the nakshatras of Revati and Ashwini from April 10th to 17th 2025. This double-border area extends either side of zodiacal fire and water signs and asterisms and may bring a period of instability where your plans fall in between two extremes. Expect to work a little harder and perhaps have to adjust before getting your intention pushed through. Gandanta means ‘knot-end’ where you find an obstacle to overcome, and the Sun’s usual ego-oriented style doesn’t strike such a powerful chord.

The Full Moon on April 13th adds emotional power to the transition between signs, on the day the Sun shifts to maximum power in Aries. This transition also moves the Sun away from its planetary enemies Saturn and Rahu, and brings a double sense of light and relief.

Sun Exaltation in Aries ~ Kickstart your Vedic Year

The Sun is in its exaltation sign of Aries from April 13th to May 14th, 2025. This dynamic transit brings a sense of forward progress where you get on with your plans in a spontaneous style, without overthinking. Now is a time of doing, not thinking. Channelling solar power gives you inner certainty of success and a sense of anticipation at the start of a new project, even if you can’t see your exact path forward.

The Sun hemmed in signs between the benevolent planets Venus and Jupiter through this whole transit, gives you added protection and support, and you can aim for a high ambition and keep your downside covered. Influential people may also like your style and be open to your proposals.

Sun in Ashwini ~ Do it now

The Sun enters Aries-Ashwini on April 13th until 27th, the nakshatra of speed and courage in the sign of the Sun’s greatest strength. Ashwini’s Shakti, or special power, for Quick Action, sees you sizing up a situation and making an instant choice, which at another time may be difficult or unwise. Now, however, an instant call cuts through all indecision and you gain nothing by waiting.

Exercise is a major lift for your well-being, and this asterism’s lordship by the Ashvini Kumaras, the divine physicians, favours getting into shape and moving again after a period of rest, reflection, or inactivity. People forgive your headstrong tendencies, appreciate that you have no hidden agenda, and back up your words with action. Avoid an all-out revolution or pointless battle, and have some thought for the fallout – your fiery intuition guides you to what feels right.
