Mumbai: As all of us are busy preparing for the Diwali festival, there is festive cheer and enthusiasm everywhere. And this year, before we start celebrating Diwali, there is an auspicious day and you need to know its importance so that you don’t miss this day.
This year, before Dhanteras, there’s an additional auspicious occasion—Guru Pushya Nakshatra on 24th October 2024. Known for its association with prosperity, this time is ideal for buying household goods, vehicles, and even gold, believed to bring good fortune.
Devguru Brihaspati, the revered teacher of the Gods, was also born under Pushya Nakshatra. The Guru Pushya Yoga is considered highly auspicious for initiating spiritual practices, such as religious rituals, mantra chanting, and mantra initiation. It is also an ideal time to start new endeavours to contracts, business, and professional growth, as it brings blessings of success and prosperity in both spiritual and material pursuits.
In Vedic astrology, Pushya is the eighth of the 27 nakshatras and is regarded as the ‘King of all Nakshatras.’ The deity governing Pushya Nakshatra is Jupiter (Brihaspati), and its primary element is gold. As a result, purchasing gold during Guru Pushya Yoga is considered highly auspicious, as it brings the blessings of Goddess Varalakshmi, ensuring prosperity and wealth for the buyer.
Guru Pushya Nakshatra, also called Amrit Yoga (Yoga of Immortality), occurs when Pushya Nakshatra aligns with Thursday (Guruvar). Pushya Nakshatra is astrologically significant, linked to wealth and prosperity, with Jupiter (Brihaspati), symbolising wisdom and abundance, as its deity, and Saturn (Shani), promoting discipline and success, as its ruling planet.
Guru Pushya Nakshatra falls on 24th October 2024, this year.
In 2024, Guru Pushya Nakshatra begins on 24th October, with the auspicious time lasting throughout the day. It starts on October 24, 2024, at 6:28 am and lasts until October 25, 2024, at 6:28 am. The entire day of October 24 is considered perfect for making important purchases, gold, vehicles, investments, and other significant activities.
Guru Pushya Nakshatra's period is amplified by yogas like Mahalakshmi, Sarvartha Siddhi, Amrit Siddhi, and Budhaditya, ensuring financial gains and happiness.
Purchasing gold, silver, furniture, machinery, electronics, vehicles, or property during Guru Pushya Nakshatra 2024 can enhance prosperity, offering long-term financial stability and success.
To benefit from this day, certain remedies can be performed, such as placing hibiscus flowers or Tulsi leaves in a red pouch to alleviate financial issues, or keeping a peacock feather wrapped in yellow cloth in your office to boost professional growth as per astrologer AK Singh.
Take advantage of this favourable time on 24th October 2024 to ensure lasting fortune in your life.
