This December, Karmas will begin with the transit of the Sun in Jupiter’s zodiac sign. Karmas will start on December 15, 2024, and end on January 14, 2025. According to beliefs, when the Sun is positioned in the zodiac signs of Pisces or Sagittarius, the powers of Jupiter are weakened. In astrology, Jupiter is considered the planet of fortune. During Karmas, performing any auspicious work is believed to yield inauspicious results. This is why Karmas is considered an inauspicious period for performing weddings and other important events. Let’s explore what to do and avoid during Karmas.
What to Avoid During Karmas:
Karmas is not considered a time for good fortune. During this period, people should avoid consuming tamasic food and alcohol. No auspicious or ceremonial activities should be performed during Karmas. It is advised not to marry during this period. Additionally, purchasing a new vehicle, property, starting a new business, or buying a new home should also be avoided.
What to Do During Karmas:
- Worship Lord Surya and Lord Vishnu during Karmas.
- Offering water to the Sun (Surya) is considered extremely important during Karmas.
- Chant the Brihaspati Chalisa.
- Recite the mantra “Om Ghrini Surya Namah” to gain positive energy.
- Taking a dip in sacred rivers holds special significance during Karmas. If possible, bathe in holy rivers. Alternatively, you can mix Gangajal in water and bathe at home.
- Donate according to your capacity to help those in need.
- If you have Pitr Dosh in your horoscope, organize a Brahmin feast on the Amavasya during Karmas. Offering them respectful food and clothing can help in alleviating Pitr Dosh.
