🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Columbus mein 26 September 2026 ko Maha Ashtami ka parv behad shubh hai. Is din Surya Dev Kanya rashi mein rahkar aatma aur tejas ko bal denge, jabki Chandra Dev Sagittarius (Dhanu) mein uday hokar bhakti aur gyan ka sanchar karenge. Shani Dev ki Vakri drishti mahasagar jaise sankaton se raksha karegi aur Maa Durga ki shakti aapko adbhut sthirta degi. Ek saral upay karein: Ashtami ke din Maa ko laal hibiscus (gurhal) ka phool arpit karein aur "Om Dum Durgaye Namah" ka 108 baar jaap karein. Sabhi kasht door honge aur Maa ki kripa bani rahegi!
