The horoscope cast at the time of the Sun’s transit from one zodiac sign to another is called the Surya Sankranti horoscope. This horoscope is used to predict events that will occur during the 30-day period the Sun spends in a particular sign, according to the principles of mundane astrology. When the Sun enters the cardinal signs (movable Rashi) of Aries, Cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, the Sankranti horoscope at that time is of particular importance for predicting weather patterns and crop yields. This year, the Sun will enter Capricorn on Wednesday, January 15th , 2026, at 3:08 PM as per the Indian Standard Time.The Solar Ingress of Capricorn horoscope indicates difficult time for Iran particularly.
At the time of the Sun’s transit, the Sun will be conjunct with the benefic planet Venus in Capricorn, but the presence of the malefic planet Rahu in the next sign and the malefic planet Mars in the previous sign creates an inauspicious Papakartari Yoga. Due to this, some states may experience hailstorms or unusual rainfall in the next 30 days, potentially causing damage to crops. In Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Rajasthan etc. there will be un-seasonal rainfall around 19th of January. The prices of gold and silver will continue to be high for the next few days due to the coming Sun and Mars conjunction in Capricorn sign.
Supreme Court to deliver major decisions
In the Sun’s Makar Samkranti horoscope the Taurus ascendant is rising. The ascendant lord Venus is in the ninth house of the apex court of the country in conjunct with the Sun, the planet signifying political power and government.

This astrologically indicates that some major decisions from the Supreme Court are expected in the next 30 days. The Supreme Court is currently hearing petitions related to removing stray dogs from the streets and public places. Since the Sun, the sign lord of transiting Ketu (the planet signifying dogs), is in the ninth house conjunct with the ascendant lord Venus, major guidelines on this issue will be given by the Supreme Court to both the central and state governments in the next 30 days.
Due to the debilitated Moon in Scorpio in the seventh house of the solar ingress chart, a major decision from the Supreme Court related to marriage or women’s issues is also possible. The mutual aspect between the seventh lord Mars and the tenth lord (political power) and the ninth lord Saturn, along with an aspect from the eighth lord Jupiter, also creates a possibility of a major sex scandal in the next 30 days, which will likely be in the headlines. In Navamsha of the solar ingress chart Rahu is in the 7th house and its depositor Saturn is badly placed in the 12th house also shows a possible sex scandal making the headlines in India which may involve some important persons of the ruling elite.
Dangerous conjunction of 5 planets on January 18th Amavasya (New Moon)
On the upcoming Amavasya (new moon) on January 18th, a dangerous conjunction of five planets – Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury and of Venus is forming at close degrees in Capricorn, which is creating a possibility of unusual rainfall in North India, snowfall in the mountains, and seismic activity. A moderate earthquake can create panic in the region of North India and also in Pakistan’s eastern parts.
Chart 2. New Moon 19 January 2026
The conjunction of the Sun and Moon at the same degrees at the end of the new moon will occur at 1:21 AM on January 19th, Indian Standard Time. This inauspicious conjunction, occurring in the ninth house of independent India’s Taurus ascendant horoscope. The state of West Bengal influenced by Gemini and also parts of Bangladesh may suffer from communal tensions as these 5 planets on the day of the New Moon will be in the 8th house from the ruling sign of these areas.
In Iran’s foundation horoscope (April 1, 1979, 3 pm, Tehran) which has Cancer ascendant riding, the conjunction of these five planets in Capricorn, will activate the seventh house of war. This signals a major violent event for this nation. Along with the intensification of public movements against Iran’s current Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, there are also astrological indications of a major military attack on Iran by the United States.
