Sun (Surya) Nakshatra Transit 2024
The Sun is the soul (atma) and the source of vitality, authority and father-figures in Vedic astrology. It moves through one sign roughly every month and never turns retrograde.
Each sign holds two and a quarter nakshatras (13°20' each). A nakshatra transit is the moment a graha moves from one lunar mansion into the next, a finer timing layer than the sign change that is used in muhurta, Panchang and event timing. The Sun spends about a month in each sign. Times below are exact to the minute, calculated with the sidereal Lahiri ayanamsa.

Note: positions are calculated with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa using the Swiss Ephemeris. Other Panchang sources use slightly different ayanamsa values, so their times can differ from these by a few minutes for the Sun and Moon, and by more for slower planets such as Jupiter and Saturn.
