🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Onam (Thiruvonam) on 24th August 2026 is a divine alignment. On this day, the Moon will transit through *Shravana Nakshatra* (Thiruvonam), the birth star of Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar and Mahabali, while the Sun shines powerfully in *Ashlesha Nakshatra* in Simha Rashi. In Mumbai's bustling energy, this combination brings immense spiritual cleansing and abundance. The Moon in its own nakshatra strengthens mental peace, while Sun-Saturn influences ground your ambitions. **Simple Protective Remedy:** Offer yellow flowers and jaggery (*gur*) to Lord Vishnu in the morning. Light a sesame oil diya facing North-East to ward off negative energies and invite Mahabali's blessings. Ayur Ayur!
