It is explained in the scriptures that Surya Dev (Sun) is considered to be the form of the soul, which is said to be the only source of energy on the earth. On the other hand, in Vedic astrology, the Sun is considered to be the king of all the nine planets. It is the one planet that never retrogrades, it is always in a direct motion. Every month, this planet transits from one zodiac sign to another and this transit of the sun is known as Sankranti. So, Sankranti is celebrated in the name of the zodiac sign in which the sun is transiting. For instance, if the sun is transiting in Capricorn then it is known as Makar Sankranti. Similarly, Mithun Sankranti is celebrated when the Sun transits in Gemini. There are a total of 12 zodiac signs and hence there is a total of 12 Sankranti that are celebrated in a year. Every Sankranti has its special significance.
