Sunday is the Sun’s day, and Diwali, the festival of lights, falls on this new moon (Amavasya). Chaturdashi ends at about 11:30 AM and Amavasya begins, so Naraka Chaturdashi rituals take place in the morning and Lakshmi Puja in the evening, with the Delhi muhurat between 5:54 PM and 7:50 PM. The Moon is in Libra, Venus’s own sign, joined by the Sun and Mercury, a graceful combination that favours harmony, apology and renewed bonds.
It moves through Swati Nakshatra, the nakshatra of independence and gentleness, so give your partner space while showing warmth. Ayushman Yoga, the yoga of wellbeing, prevails through the day. Venus is retrograde in Virgo, so choose sincerity over extravagance.
