Amavasya 2025: Date, Time, Rituals and Significance
Amavasya 2025: In Hinduism, the day of the New Moon, or Amavasya, is regarded as the most significant day. The sole purpose of this day is to honor the ancestors or forefathers. Every month, Amavasya falls, and this may be determined using Daily Hindu Panchang.
Amavasya days are regarded as unlucky for carrying out any auspicious rituals, including Griha Pravesh, Mundan, Marriages, and Engagements. However, Amavasya days are seen as auspicious for carrying out religious rites including bathing in the holy Ganga, conducting hawan, feeding Brahmins, participating in charitable activities, and offer prayers to ancestors by performing Pitru Tarpan, Pitru Puja, and Pind Daan.
Among the most well-known Amavasya celebrations in Hinduism are Mauni Amavasya, Somvati Amavasya, Shanichari Amavasya, Kartik Amavasya, Mahalaya Amavasya or Sarva Pitri Amavasya, Hariyali Amavasya, and Vat Amavasya.
Since this day is dedicated to the Moon and the Moon is in its waning phase, which is unlucky for people with the Moon positioned poorly in their natal birth chart, astrology does not view it as a powerful day. Therefore, we are providing some remedies to help you eliminate the negative effects of the Moon.
In addition to doing different religious activities, such as performing hawan dedicated to ancestors, one must perform remedies linked to Saturn on Amavasya day.
Your mood, feelings, and emotions will be greatly impacted, and the impact will be significantly greater, if the Moon is in an unfavorable position in your natal birth chart. Since you won't feel well or have much energy on this particular day, you should offer water to the moon in the evening after sighting the Moon and worship Lord Shiva as well, since only Lord Shiva can protect you from the negative effects of Moon.
