Kharmas 2025 Begins: Essential Do’s and Don’ts During This Period

Kharmas, a significant period in Hindu astrology, begins today, December 15, 2025. During this time, performing any auspicious or ceremonial rituals is traditionally considered inauspicious. According to astrology, Kharmas starts when the Sun enters Sagittarius before sunrise. This year, the Sun will officially enter Sagittarius on December 16 at 4:19 AM. The most auspicious period, or Punyakaal, falls between 4:30 AM and 10:45 AM, with 4:30 AM to 9:30 AM considered especially favorable.

Kharmas continues for 30 days, ending on Makar Sankranti, when the Sun enters Capricorn. During this month, it is crucial to follow certain guidelines to maintain harmony and avoid negative outcomes.

• Performing housewarming ceremonies, weddings, or engagements is considered inauspicious and may bring family conflicts.
• Mundan (first hair-cutting), construction of new houses, and any major property purchases should be avoided.
• Buying new vehicles or making big purchases is discouraged.
• Avoid arguments, conflicts, and disputes to maintain peace at home.
• Consumption of meat, alcohol, or non-vegetarian food is prohibited as it may bring adverse effects.
