According to astrology, on Makar Sankranti, when the Sun God is towards the north, ‘Uttarayan’ begins, which is called the day of the Gods. At the same time, due to Cancer Sankranti, the Sun God turns towards the south, which is called ‘Dakshinayan’. This is considered the night time of the gods.
Monsoon is at its peak on Karka Sankranti. It keeps raining. During this time, Sun God bends towards the southern hemisphere. Because of this, days start becoming shorter and nights longer in the Northern Hemisphere.
