What is Special About Somvati Amavasya 2024
Somvati Amavasya 2024 is very special due to many reasons. First of all, the Moon, day lord of Monday, is present in the ‘Magha’ nakshatra ruled by Ketu Dev, which is very closely related to Pitru Dev.
Furthermore, the day also has Shiva and Siddha Yoga enhancing the overall auspiciousness of the day.
Numerologically, as well, the day is being ruled by Number 2 (Moon) as day ruler of the today as well as Birth number and both further enhances the relevance of today.
Spiritual relevance of Somvati Amavasya
Particularly for individuals pursuing blessings for their ancestors (Pitrus) and the general welfare of their families, Somvati Amavasya has great spiritual relevance. It is thought that carrying out ceremonies on this day can assist the souls of dead ancestors to be calmed, therefore bringing peace and wealth into the household.
Its significance is increased by the link of this Amavasya with the Moon (Chandra) and Monday (Somvar). Monday is for Lord Shiva, who is regarded as the personification of peace and spiritual understanding; the Moon rules the intellect and emotions. This day is considered as a chance for a fresh beginning and mental and soul cleansing.
