Surya is now in Gandanta in Ashwini Nakshatra ruled by Ketu for 48 hours begining 8:23 PM today.
Gandanta points are very intense energy points water & fire Signs meet. Whenever a graha is in last pada 1:40 (some say 3.20 Degrees) of watery Sign & enters 1st pada in Firey sign its called Gandanta.
Gandanta means a knot thereby untill the planet crosses that degree its good effects are not visible. As per Shashtras, there are 3 types of Gandantas i.e Nakshatra, Rashi & Tithi. Nakshatra Gandanta are more deep rooted at the karmic level.
Nakshatra Gandantas are -
26.40 - 30.00 - 00.00 - 3.20
Revati (Mercury) - Ashwini (Ketu)
Ashlesha (Mercury) - Magha (Ketu)
Jyeshta (Mercury) - Moola (Ketu)
26.40 - 30.00 - 00.00 - 3.20
Revati (Mercury) - Ashwini (Ketu)
Ashlesha (Mercury) - Magha (Ketu)
Jyeshta (Mercury) - Moola (Ketu)
Person born under Ketu Gandanta usually mean they have huge past life karmas which they will have to untie in this life. Moon Gandanta is most transformative, followed by Sun & other planets. Gandanta result/transformation begins under MD/AD/PD of the Gandanta Planet.
Gand Mool Nakshatra is most severe that is Gandanta in Moola Nakshatra which means extreme transformation for the Jataks in present life due to backlog of Past Karmas brought into this life time. Usually it is recommended to get Nakshatra Shanti Pooja for child born in Gandantas.
So even if a Planet gets exalted in a Nakshatra or Rashi it wont give that result till it crosses the Gandanta Point. So Surya till 15th remains in Gandanta point & in its effects. From thereon it’s strength will be visible through transit as it moves towards its exaltation point
