Kharmas 2023 Date and Time
The Sun's passage into Sagittarius or Pisces heralds the advent of Kharmas, a celestial phenomena that astrology lovers and seekers of cosmic alignment anxiously anticipate. The cosmic dance begins on December 16, 2023, and it will continue under mysterious influence until January 15, 2024, which is Makar Sankranti. Based on astrological concepts that are entwined with mythological stories and cultural customs, this era has a mystical meaning.
Kharmas Significance
Two times a year, Kharmas is brought about by the Sun's movements across the Zodiac, particularly when it reaches the signs of Sagittarius and Pisces, which are controlled by Jupiter. The Sun's transit through a single zodiac sign is influenced for thirty days by this astronomical alignment, also called Dhanu Sankranti. But at this time, Jupiter, the ruler of Sagittarius and Pisces, is less effective due to the strong influence of the Sun, making fortunate endeavors difficult and unlucky.

Kharmas's Mythological Origins
Legends from antiquity enthrall us in a compelling story of Kharmas, based on the chariot of the Sun God's celestial trip. A moment of cosmic genius came to pass as the horses driving the chariot grew tired. The Sun God changed his path to a riverside because he felt sorry for his horses. The horses found relief there, when they drank from the running rivers. In a cosmic detour, the horses were momentarily changed by two donkeys called Khars, which made it possible for them to finish the cosmic circuit. The name "Khar Maas," which denotes the slow and waning rate of the Sun's intensity during the month of Pausha, was born out of this act of compassion.
Malamas and Sagittarius Sankranti
Malamas, another unlucky month, coincides with the Sun's Sagittarius Sankranti. Because of its weaker position in signs ruled by Jupiter, the Sun is seen unfavorably when it is in Sagittarius and Pisces. Twice a year, during Dhanu Sankranti (December 16–January 15) and Pisces Sankranti (March 14–April 13), the cosmic ballet is revealed. Significant life events like marriages, ear piercings, housewarmings, and other auspicious actions are shadowed by this astrological alignment, which calls for a period of penitent restraint.
