Karthigai Deepam 2021

Rare Snake Planets’ Alignment For Fortune Coincides With Royal Full Moon

The upcoming Karthigai Deepam Full Moon, the Day of Divine Light of Intelligence in the Tamil month of Karthigai, is regarded as the most auspicious and generous Full Moon that can bestow good fortune, wealth, and transformation blessings. On this day, there is a rare alignment where both luminaries, Sun and Moon, will share a sign with exalted Rahu and Ketu, respectively.

The Moon will be along with Rahu in Taurus, the 2nd house of finance and the Sun will be with Ketu in Scorpio, the 8th house of sudden gains and transformation in the natural zodiac. Together, this rare configuration is a very opportune time for invoking Shiva to rectify blockages from snake curses that may be impacting your efforts to gain fortune, as well as blessing you with positive thinking for creating material abundance.

On this Karthigai Deepam, the Full Moon of Abundance, AstroVed will be invoking Shiva as Arunachaleswara in his form as Divine Light, along with the energy of the rare planetary configuration abundantly available on this day, for gaining fruitful results for efforts to achieve goals, good fortune, financial stability, and positive life-changing experience.

Shiva as Divine Fire Guides You for Prosperity & Transformation

According to Shiva Purana, Vishnu and Brahma were quarreling as to who was superior. To show his supremacy and put an end to their duel, Shiva appeared as a huge pillar of light (fire) and challenged them both to find the start and end of the fire. Creator archetype Brahma took the form of a swan and flew to find the start of the fire, whereas preserver archetype Vishnu took the form of a boar and began digging into the earth to find the bottom of the pillar. Their efforts went in vain, and both agreed that Shiva is supreme amongst all heavenly beings. It is believed that Shiva emerged as a huge pillar of fire at Arunachala (Holy Mountain of Fire) on the day of Deepam. Propitiating Shiva as Divine light on this day can help you receive his prosperity and transformation blessings.
