When the Sun moves into Capricorn, the Moon will be in the sign Pisces and in the star Uttarabhadra. The star is associated with Varshodyamana Shakti, meaning it has the power to bring rain for the growing of plants and stability. The day being Friday (when the energies of the archetypal Goddess of wealth are vibrant) adds to the auspiciousness. This day will help to bring stability in all walks of life, especially in the accumulation of wealth.

Connecting with the Sun through quantum sound frequencies, doing meditations in the morning, and participating in rituals during this period will help you harness the energy of the Sun to boost your personal power.

Pongal is one of the most popular harvest festivals of South India. Pongal falls in mid-January every year and marks the auspicious beginning of Uttarayana, which represents the northward journey of the Sun. Pongal follows the winter solstice and marks the favorable course of the Sun, when He purportedly enters the 10th house, Capricorn. Pongal is traditionally dedicated to the Sun God to thank the solar deity for the good harvest, and sanctifies the first grain to him on this “Surya Mangalyam.”

Pongal in Tamil means “spill over” or “boiling over.” The boiling over of milk in the clay pot symbolizes material abundance for the household. The saying often quoted regarding the Pongal festival is, “Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum,” meaning “the commencement of Thai paves the way for new opportunities.” The festival usually occurs from the last day of the Tamil month Margazhi to the third day of Thai.

The Vedic Winter Solstice is also known in South India as “Pongal,” or the harvest time and thanksgiving festival. Agriculturists, who provide the world with our food stores, look up to the Sun to guide them during planting, as well as during harvesting. In India, the farmers celebrate the Sun as playing a critical role in the growth of rice paddies and other agricultural activities. Thai Pongal is celebrated not only as a Thanksgiving for a bountiful rice and sugarcane harvest, but also as a renewal of life energies. This is a 4-day festival.

Bhogi Pongal is a good time to clean your home. Clean your closets and throw out old items that you are not using or that no longer suit your life, along with those that carry vibrations of the past. Spiritually, this symbolizes overhauling your current life and preparing room for new abundance and happiness to come in. Clear some space for your higher self.

Pongal Day (January 15, 2016 IST) is celebrated as the harvest day. On this day, the cooking of rice with sweet raw sugarcane and jaggery is done during sunrise in a small pot, usually outdoors, as the dish is dedicated to the Sun god, Surya. “Pongalo Pongal” is recited by everyone in a festive tone, and is considered a prayer of thanks to the Sun to receive full blessings.

The 3rd day is known as Mattu, or Cow Pongal (January 16, 2016 IST). This is traditionally a time to celebrate the harvest and share spoils. People, cows, crows and ants are all well–fed, and their part in the big eco wheel is acknowledged.

The 4th Day, or Kaanum Pongal day, is the time to gather with family, buy new clothes, etc. This charges the day with a festive new air to welcome in the new luck and fortune.
