This Diwali 2024, let’s immerse ourselves in a ritual specially curated for everyone moon sign to attract abundance and prosperity in life:
Ram
Aries, the first sign of the zodiac, generally exudes boundless energy, passion, and a pioneering attitude. An Aries should focus on burning a Diya (oil lamp) in the East direction to channel these attributes, thus signifying a new beginning and new vitality. After prayers, participating in a homa (fire ceremony) or lighting camphor can help develop one’s inner fire, release negative energies and invite wealth. Red-colored objects, including red clothing or red candy, are particularly helpful to Aries in invigorating their ruling planet, Mars, thus promoting boldness, success, and spiritual protection.
Bull
Taurus, rooted in earthly pleasures and solidity, is automatically drawn to luxury and beauty. Since the planet rules this moon sign, a Taurus should focus on decorating their home with aromatic flowers and incense to attract the grace of Venus. Arranging fresh, aromatic flowers and using sandalwood paste during Lakshmi Puja would help increase wealth and material comfort. Lighting ghee lamps in the southeast direction is particularly lucky; Donating white or pastel-colored items, such as clothing or candy, will match the gentle energy of Venus for long-term success.
Gemini
Geminis are intelligent and flexible, which is why they love learning and communicating. Geminis should emphasize open communication and the need to improve their relationships during Diwali. Through a Puja honoring Lord Ganesh, they can break down barriers in creativity and communication. Lighting a diya in the North West, an area linked to relationships and teamwork, has the chance to improve harmony. During ceremonies, aromatic scents like lavender or rosemary help eliminate mental clutter. Donations of books, stationery or green items may require blessings of wisdom and knowledge.
Cancer
Under the Moon, Cancer is a very emotional sign with an emphasis on family and security. Cancer people should focus on lighting diyas in the northeast direction of their home, which corresponds to spiritual energy and provides mental tranquility during Diwali. Doing Lakshmi Puja in a small private space surrounded by family will increase the wealth of the household. Pouring milk over a Shivalingam on Diwali morning can bring inner strength and help calm emotional waves. Giving white goods like sugar or rice as well as sweets to the less fortunate generates good karma and attracts loving energy.
Lion
Naturally ruled by the Sun, Leo is the sign of confidence and leadership. Leos might benefit from performing their customs with grandeur throughout Diwali. Lighting a bright central diya in the house to represent the place of the Sun will attract success and highlight their aspirations. Leos should light a diya next to their front door to attract good luck and increase the energy of their ruling planet. Praying to Goddess Lakshmi and giving gifts like golden, yellow or orange clothes helps accentuate their bright aura and attracts wealth and respect.
Virgin
Mercury rules Virgo, who finds gratification in service, precision and organization. Virgo residents should begin their Diwali cleaning with great care, thereby signifying purification of self and space. Lighting a diya at the place of study sharpens work questions and increases intellectual energy. To honor the blessings of Mercury, they can consider offering green-colored goods, such as fruits or leafy vegetables. To promote clarity and mental balance over the next year, Virgos should also do a basic Ganesh Puja to remove any obstacles in their employment or education.
Balance
Libra (Tula) is naturally attracted to harmony, beauty and relationships; Venus rules this sign. Libra people should focus on decorating their homes with candles, flowers and rangoli designs to encourage auspiciousness during Diwali, thereby enhancing the harmonic energy of Venus. The lighting of a diya facing the northwest of the house, a space linked to relationships and teamwork, creates harmony in alliances. Giving gifts or sweets to close friends or relatives on Diwali helps to strengthen the influence of Venus. Gifting perfumes or cosmetics will also help create harmony and build good relationships.
Scorpio
Mysterious and strong, Scorpio is drawn towards metamorphosis and rebirth under Mars. For Scorpio people, Diwali celebrations should celebrate their love of introspection by lighting a diya in a quiet corner of their home. Lighting a red or dark colored diya could also help them spark courage and vitality. By following a water-based ritual like bathing a Shivalingam, one can open spiritual pathways and help ease emotional tensions. Red colored foods such as pomegranates or masoor dal accentuate their favorable Martian energy and attract power and tenacity.
Sagittarius
Under Jupiter, Sagittarius is linked to spirituality, adventure and knowledge. To invoke the blessings of Jupiter, Sagittarius Diwali ceremonies should feature the presentation of yellow flowers or saffron. Lighting a diya in the northeast direction helps align spiritual development and insight with divine guidance. Reciting mantras like Vishnu Sahasranama or meditating before the Puja sharpens the good energies of Jupiter. Donating books, yellow clothing, or food items like bananas will also help foster abundance and more knowledge, paving the way for a spiritually rich year ahead.
Capricorn
Capricorn, ruled by Saturn as an Earth sign, represents stability, endurance and discipline. Capricorn people should focus on lighting a diya next to their office or in an area related to financial operations during Diwali to derive consistent wealth. Donating black sesame seeds or dark colored produce for charitable purposes will help ease the constricting effect of Saturn and their efforts will be more graciously appreciated. To ensure lasting stability, Capricorns could also organize a diya in the South direction. Reciting mantras honoring Lord Shani (Saturn) or Hanuman strengthens their spiritual strength and invites heavenly protection.
Aquarius
Ruled by Saturn, Aquarius is a sign emphasizing creativity, community, and higher values. Aquarians should hold ceremonies honoring spiritual and humanitarian principles during Diwali. Lighting a diya in the North direction, signifying future achievements and aspirations, promotes the development of personal and community life. Giving the less fortunate basics or clothing helps them match Saturn’s karmic grace. Meditating on Lord Shiva or doing Rudra Abhishek – offering water to Lord Shiva – helps Aquarius in their pursuit of a deliberate life by releasing past karma and sharpening their spiritual understanding.
Pisces
Ruled by Jupiter, Pisces is a very spiritual and friendly sign. Since Diwali is linked to their spiritual depth, Pisces natives should focus on lighting diyas near water, like a small bowl or fountain. Giving candy, especially yellow candy, to others can help Jupiter bless you more. Meditating on Vishnu or chanting mantras will help one find harmony and divine insight. Giving yellow items or food on Diwali would increase the fortune of Pisces and pave the way for spiritual harmony and prosperity.
