🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Diwali 2026 on October 9th in Mumbai is spiritually potent. On this day, the Sun will be in Kanya (Virgo) and the Moon in Meena (Pisces). The Moon’s position in a watery sign during Laxmi Puja signifies deep emotional cleansing and abundance. Saturn remains in Purva Bhadrapada, demanding discipline and karmic clearing before welcoming prosperity. This celestial alignment is perfect for balancing material wealth with spiritual peace. To invite auspicious energy, light a mustard oil diya at your entrance facing South-West to appease Shani Dev and clear obstacles. May Maa Laxmi bless your home with eternal light and wisdom. Jai Shree Ram!
