Gandanta (Sanskrit gandanta, from gand- 'knot', and anta- 'end') is a spiritual or karmic knot in Jyotisha (Hindu astrology). Gandanta describes the junction points in the natal chart where the solar and lunar zodiacs meet, and are directly associated with times of soul growth.[1]
Overview
The Gandanta points are located at the junctions of Pisces (Revati) and Aries (Ashvinī), Cancer (Ashlesha) and Leo (Magha), Scorpio (Jyeshtha) and Sagittarius (Mula). Moon or ascendant at birth-time of a person located within 48 minutes of these points represents a spiritual knot that must be untied in a particular lifetime.[1] In common parlance, when a planet moves from a water to a fire sign.
