Effects of Makara [Capricorn] sankraman [ Transit] of the Sun

In Indian at around 14^th of Jan the Makarasankrant is being celebrated. On this day the Sun enters into Makara Rashi [  the sign Capricorn]. The Sun is going to stay in Capricorn for one month after 14^th Jan.

The lord of the sign Capricorn is Saturn. At present the Saturn is situated in the sign Leo whose lord is the Sun. That means the Sun and the Saturn are situated in each others houses.

This Yoga between the Saturn and the Sun is good in many aspects but I am going to discuss there effects on human body esp. whose Sun sign as well as the Moon signs are Capricorn and Leo.

I  think the person whose sign is Leo or Capricorn may have some physical problems during this period.

Because the characteristics of the Sun and the Saturn are exactly apposite and they will be at Shadashtaka yoga, i.e. the Sun will be situated at sixth house from the Saturn and the Saturn will be situated at eighth house from the Sun.

The sixth and the eighth house express illness.

As the sign Capricorn has influence on Knee joints and the sign Leo has influence on Lower vertebra the person whose sign is Capricorn should take care of Knee joints and the person whose sign is Leo should take care of Lower back.

For the person whose sign is Capricorn he/she should avoid fall, trauma to Knee joints and should avoid trekking up to 14^th of Feb.

If a Capricorn person is already having disease of Knee joints then he/she should take more care esp. who are living in cold climate.

For pain and stiffness of Knee joints he/she should apply warm Mahanarayana oil and hot fomentation. Knee caps must be used

If Mahanarayana oil is not available then 1 table spoonful of warm Coconut oil + 2 drops of Garlic juice should be applied on Knee joints. Hot fomentation and use of Knee cap is must.

This therapy could be done repeatedly as per requirement.

For the person whose sign is Leo should be more cautious while lifting weight. He/she should do exercise of backward bending. Hot fomentation of Lower back after exercise is must.

Jerky movements of Lower back must be avoided.

If the person whose sign is Leo is already having complaints of Lower back then he/she should do backward bending exercise but with support to lower back or exercise in lying down position only. After exercise application of warm Castor oil to lower back and hot fomentation is must.

It has been observed that the person suffering from lower back pain usually has complaint of constipation. For them the following remedy is worth trying.

Take 50gm powder of dried Ginger [ Sonth]. Mix this much of powder in 100ml of Castor oil. It will be better if you heat Castor oil on lowest gas burner and then start adding powder with spoon and mix them properly. Too much heating is not expected.

After proper mixing allow the preparation to come down to room temperature. Now you have to store the mixture in dry container.

How to use : ½ teaspoonful of powder, 5 minutes before lunch and dinner with warm water. This medicine will start giving results within 5-6 days. This will take care of constipation as well as Lower back problems
