Guru Purnima, observed on the full moon (Purnima) in the month of Ashadha, isn’t just about paying respects to your teacher. It’s a cosmic spotlight on growth, knowledge, and karma-especially this year, as the Moon aligns with Capricorn and aspects Jupiter.
Whether you believe in astrology or not, this energy subtly influences how we learn, lead, and evolve.
In Vedic tradition, your “Guru” can be a spiritual teacher, life mentor, or even your own intuition. And 2025’s Guru Purnima, falling on July 10, brings major shifts to how each zodiac sign absorbs guidance and karma related to past decisions.
Here’s how your zodiac sign will be impacted-and what remedy you can follow to get the most out of this spiritually charged day.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
This Guru Purnima lights up your 10th house of career and public image. It’s time to honour not just your teachers but also workplace mentors. Ego may block progress-humility is key.
Remedy: Offer red flowers and sandalwood at a Hanuman temple. Privately thank a mentor you once disagreed with.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Your 9th house of dharma and higher learning is activated. A long-lost spiritual lesson may resurface. Watch out for stubbornness disguised as “being practical.”
Remedy: Light a ghee diya under a Peepal tree on Thursday. Donate books to a child or student.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
This full moon shines on your 8th house of transformation. A teacher or mentor figure from your past may reappear-or memories might trigger healing.
Remedy: Offer coconut and jaggery to a river or lake. Meditate on a mantra your grandfather or parent once shared.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your 7th house of relationships is in focus. Romantic and business partners may offer unexpected wisdom. Look for the lesson beneath irritation.
Remedy: Share a meal with your partner or spouse’s mentor. Recite “Om Gurave Namah” 108 times at dawn.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
This moon activates your 6th house of health and discipline. Any body-related discomfort could be a spiritual message-listen, don’t suppress.
Remedy: Donate yellow fruits to healthcare workers. Wake up before sunrise and journal your dreams for 3 days.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
With your 5th house activated, Guru Purnima calls you to channel childhood dreams. A teacher from your school days might be on your mind.
Remedy: Light a lamp with cow ghee before sunrise. Offer sweets to young children in your locality.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
The full moon triggers your 4th house of home and roots. Are you still living by an outdated belief taught in childhood?
Remedy: Clean your house, especially your study area. Recite “Shri Gurubhyo Namah” while offering rice and turmeric to your mother or grandmother.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
This moon falls in your 3rd house of communication. If you’ve ever mocked someone’s ideas, it may bounce back. Speak consciously.
Remedy: Gift a pen or notebook to a student or teacher. Listen to a podcast or lecture on a subject you dislike.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
The 2nd house of wealth and values is lit. Has your income come at the cost of peace? Your past guru’s values may guide you now.
Remedy: Donate food or clothing in your Guru’s name. Avoid arguments on Guru Purnima, especially about money.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
This is YOUR moon! With the full moon in your sign, self-discipline, mentorship, and emotional maturity come into full focus. You may feel lonely, but it’s a spiritual test.
Remedy: Chant “Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya” at moonrise. Offer white flowers and water to a Shivling.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
The 12th house governs your dreams, hidden fears, and past life karma. Meditation or foreign wisdom may help unlock answers.
Remedy: Donate bedsheets or white fabric to a monastery or shelter. Spend 10 minutes in complete silence at moonrise.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
This moon activates your 11th house of community and desires. A friend could reveal their spiritual side-or you might feel called to lead a group ritual.
Remedy: Recite the Guru Stotram with a group or community. Feed cows or birds before noon.
What Guru Purnima 2025 Wants You To Learn
No matter your zodiac sign, Guru Purnima is a cosmic checkpoint. This year’s full moon comes with a strong Saturn-Jupiter influence-meaning you must reflect on where you’re disciplined, where you’re lazy, and who you’ve ignored along the way.
It’s not about blind respect. It’s about awakening to the idea that every person, event, and pain can be a teacher-if you’re willing to see it that way.
Bonus Ritual: Universal Guru Blessing Technique

How to do it:

Guru Purnima 2025 is not about grand gestures. It’s about realising that the wisest teachers rarely shout-they whisper. And this full moon might just whisper the truth you’ve needed all year.
