What is Ravi Peyarchi 2026?

Ravi Peyarchi 2026 is the complete calendar of Sun sign changes (Sankranti events) for the year 2026. It shows all 12 Sankranti moments as cards with exact times, plus nested peak-exaltation (~10° Aries, ~2 days) and peak-debilitation (~10° Libra, ~2 days) windows.

When is Makara Sankranti in 2026?

Makara Sankranti (Sun enters Capricorn) typically falls on January 14 in the modern era but can shift by a few hours between years due to leap-year drift. The Capricorn card in this calendar shows the exact Sankranti moment for 2026 in your local timezone.

When does the Sun enter Aries (Mesha Sankranti) in 2026?

Mesha Sankranti falls around April 14 each year, marking the solar new year in Tamil (Puthandu), Malayalam (Vishu), and Bengali (Poila Boishakh) calendars. The Aries card in this calendar shows the exact entry time and also carries a nested Peak Exalted sub-event (~2 days around 10° Aries).

Why are there always exactly 12 Sankranti events per year?

Because the Sun moves in one direction only. Unlike planets that retrograde and can re-enter a previous sign, the Sun crosses each sign boundary exactly once — 12 signs, 12 Sankrantis, every year without exception.

Can I see Ravi Peyarchi for other years?

Yes. Use the year navigator at the top of the timeline. The Swiss Ephemeris DE431 dataset covers -13,201 BCE to 17,191 CE. Years outside 1800-2200 will render with an “extrapolated data” notice since classical calendar reforms and ayanamsha choices may produce small offsets against traditional almanacs of the era.

About Ravi Peyarchi 2026

Ravi Peyarchi 2026 — what this timeline shows

Ravi Peyarchi (ரவி பெயர்ச்சி) is the Tamil / South Indian term for the Sun's sign change — a Sankranti. This calendar shows every Sun sign entry for 2026 as a card, ordered chronologically. Because the Sun does not retrograde, there are exactly 12 Sankranti events per year — one for each zodiac sign. Cards for Aries and Libra also carry nested peak-dignity windows.

Key Sankranti events in 2026

Makara Sankranti (Sun enters Capricorn, ~Jan 14) — the winter solstice-linked festival marking Uttarayana, the Sun's northward journey.
Mesha Sankranti (Sun enters Aries, ~Apr 14) — solar new year (Tamil Puthandu, Vishu, Poila Boishakh); Sun enters exaltation sign.
Karka Sankranti (Sun enters Cancer, ~Jul 16) — marks Dakshinayana, the Sun's southward journey.
Tula Sankranti (Sun enters Libra, ~Oct 17) — Sun enters debilitation sign; classical Vedic tradition considers this a period of lower solar strength.

Peak dignity windows

The Sun is exalted in Aries (peak at 10° Aries) and debilitated in Libra (peak at 10° Libra). Because the Sun moves ~1° per day, each peak window is about 2 days wide. Cards for Aries and Libra visits in this calendar carry a nested sub-event with the exact peak-window start and end times. Cards for other signs render a "clean visit" note — no peak-dignity events happen inside them.

How the 2026 events are calculated

Every Sankranti moment and peak-dignity boundary in the 2026 calendar is computed via Swiss Ephemeris with Lahiri Ayanamsha, resolved to the exact ephemeris instant via binary search. Sign entries are found by tracking when the Sun's sidereal longitude crosses each 30° boundary; peak-dignity windows by tracking when the longitude enters the ±1° band around 10° Aries or 10° Libra. No analytical formulas or interpolation tables are used.
