🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Pranaam. Note that Diwali traditionally falls on Amavasya in the month of Kartik (October/November). In August 2026, we are in the auspicious Shravana month. However, worshipping Mata Laxmi is always fruitful. On 12th August 2026, the Sun will be in Karka (Cancer) and the Moon in Mesha (Aries). With Saturn transiting in Kumbha (Aquarius), the energy is balanced for inner cleansing. Since Diwali signifies the victory of light over darkness, lighting a diya facing North-East invites prosperity. **Remedy:** Offer a small piece of jaggery and a yellow flower to Mata Laxmi. Keep your home clutter-free. Blessings to you!
