Gandanta in the Birth Chart: The Knot Where Water Meets Fire
About four charts in ten have at least one planet within a pada of a gandanta junction, the point where a water sign hands over to a fire sign and a Mercury nakshatra to a Ketu nakshatra. What gandanta means, where the three knots sit and when the Sun crosses them, how common it is, the Moon and the lagna in gandanta, the water side and the fire side, how it differs from Gand Mool, timing, the traditional shanti, and two charts from practice.
