Thai Amavasya is the first New Moon after the Sun starts moving towards the Northern hemisphere. In the Vedic calendar, the northward movement of the Sun marks the Dawn in Heaven and fills the earth plane with the auspicious energy of renewal. The Sun represents the soul in Vedic astrology. It will be transiting Capricorn, the 10th sign of the natural zodiac, which represents Karma (actions) and ruled by Saturn, the planet of karma. During this time, your action towards liberating your ancestors by performing Tarpanam, which is a food offering to them, will be fruitful. This placement of the Sun in Saturn’s house can help you reduce the impact of ancestral karma and enable you to receive their blessings for you, your children, and future generations.
