Gandanta points are the junctions between water and fire signs, considered spiritually significant but challenging positions for planets.
Gandanta ('knot') occurs at the boundaries between Pisces-Aries, Cancer-Leo, and Scorpio-Sagittarius—where water signs meet fire signs. These junctions represent karmic knots where souls transition between emotional (water) and active (fire) states. Planets within 3°20' of these points (especially Moon or Ascendant) indicate intense karmic themes requiring resolution. Birth during Gandanta suggests a significant spiritual mission.
TriAstra identifies Gandanta placements as potential Red Flags, particularly for the Moon, indicating areas of intense karmic focus that may manifest as early life challenges.
Gandanta placements suggest important soul lessons. While they can indicate early difficulties, they often correlate with significant spiritual growth and eventual wisdom.
