Kharmas December 2024: In Hindu tradition, Kharmas is a period considered unlucky for important life events, especially weddings. It starts in mid-December and ends in mid-January, coinciding with the Sun's transit in Sagittarius. As the Sun moves from Scorpio to Sagittarius, it marks the beginning of Dhanu Sankranti, also known as Kharmas Sankranti. During this time, Hindus believe it's best to avoid new beginnings and significant life events. Instead, they focus on spiritual growth, self-reflection, and preparing for the new year. This period is ideal for introspection, prayer, and charitable acts, helping individuals connect with their spiritual selves and start the new year on a positive note. This year, Kharmas will begin on 15th December 2024.
Check out all the significant details regarding the start and end date and significance of Kharmas and know why any auspicious task must not be performed during this period below:

The Sun moves through the zodiac every month, marking a new period called Surya Sankranti. When the Sun enters Sagittarius from Scorpio, it's specifically known as Dhanu Sankranti or Kharmas Sankranti. This transit is significant because both the Sun and Sagittarius are fire elements, amplifying the fire energy globally.
As Sagittarius is the core sign of planet Jupiter, the Sun's transit here impacts everyone. The combination of the Sun's energy and Jupiter's influence can bring about significant effects. Understanding this astrological event can help individuals prepare for the changes it may bring to their lives.

Kharmas December 2024: Why You Should Not Perform Any Auspicious Work In This Period
The Sun's transit in Sagittarius triggers Malamas, a period considered inauspicious for important life events. The Sun's presence in Sagittarius and Pisces is deemed weak, making it an unfavourable time for new beginnings. This occurs twice a year when the Sun passes through Jupiter's zodiac signs.
The Khar month, which coincides with the Sun's transit in Sagittarius, is associated with increased anger, rage, and mental restlessness. This period is marked by contradictions and ideological differences, making it an unsuitable time for auspicious events like weddings.
Marriage during this time may lack sweetness and happiness due to various reasons.
It's advisable to avoid significant purchases, such as buying a house, property or new vehicle, during the Khar month. Any purchases made during this time may lead to problems and stress.
