June 15th, 2025, holds significant religious and astrological importance according to the Hindu Panchang. This day marks the Mithuna Sankranti, when the Sun transitions from Taurus to Gemini.

Religious Significance of Mithuna Sankranti
Mithuna Sankranti marks the Sun's entry into the second phase of Uttarayan. Sun worship is particularly fruitful during this Sankranti, considered an ideal time to mitigate Sun-related afflictions, ancestral curses (pitru dosh), and obstacles in employment. Bathing in sacred water and offering Arghya to the Sun reduces the negative influence of malefic planets. Tarpan and charity are especially important for ancestral satisfaction. It is believed that donating food, clothing, or water to the needy on this day prevents poverty from entering one's home.
What to Do on This Day?
- Wake up early and bathe with sacred water or Ganga Jal.
- Offer Arghya to the Sun by placing a copper coin, red flowers, and jaggery in the water.
- Feed the poor in memory of one's father or ancestors.
- Donating wheat, jaggery, copper, water vessels, umbrellas, and slippers is particularly meritorious.
- Recite the Surya Mantra "Om Ghrihi Suryaya Namah" at least 108 times.
What Not to Do on This Day?
- Avoid sleeping late, especially after sunrise, as it is considered inauspicious.
- Do not donate sharp objects like knives, blades, or scissors. This can lead to financial and relational setbacks.
- Refrain from anger and lying, as they disrupt the serenity of the Sun.
