10 Things to Do Before Holi 2025 (Astrology Edition)

Mercury Retrograde Prep – Double-check every text, because nothing ruins Holi like accidentally inviting an ex to the same party. The stars are watching, and so is bad decision-making.

Saturn’s Karma Check – Anyone still holding grudges? Saturn suggests clearing them before getting hit in the face with color by someone holding receipts from 2019.

Manifest Like a Pro – Holi is a festival of transformation, so set those intentions. Fire rituals, scripting, or just aggressively chanting “rich and thriving” while throwing colors—whatever works.

Color Selection Based on Zodiac Energy – Fire signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) should go bold—reds, oranges. Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn) keep it classic with greens and browns. Air signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) bring in electric blues, while Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces) go for deep purples. It’s not science, but neither is astrology.

Venus-Approved Holi Outfit – Venus rules beauty, so looking iconic is mandatory. This is a festival, not a color fight where fashion goes to die. Bonus points for picking colors that match zodiac vibes (see above).

Moon Ritual for Emotional Stability – Holi emotions run high. One second, it's laughter, the next it's "Who threw a bucket of water at the phone?" A little full-moon grounding before the madness keeps things peaceful.

Jupiter’s "Go Big or Go Home" Energy – Holi is the perfect time to go extra. Bigger celebrations, louder playlists, unnecessary but dramatic dance moves—Jupiter approves of it all.

Leave the Past in the Bonfire – The Holika Dahan fire isn’t just for tradition. Toss in old grudges, negative vibes, and that text draft that should never see daylight. Clean slates only.

Astrologically-Aligned Drinks – Water signs need calming herbal teas. Fire signs require something spicy. Air signs? Something light and bubbly. Earth signs? Something expensive. Holi isn’t just a festival—it’s a lifestyle.

Sun Sign Glow-Up – Holi is a solar festival, and the Sun rules confidence. Get that skincare routine, practice that hair flip, and step into the festival like a main character.
