Ahoi Ashtami 2024: When will the stars rise? Puja muhurat and auspicious yogas

Mumbai: This year’s Ahoi Ashtami, falling on Thursday, 24th October 2024, is a significant day for married women who fast for the well-being and prosperity of their children. A key moment during the day is the rising of the stars, an important event in the fasting ritual. But when exactly will the stars appear? Adding to the importance of this day, rare astrological yogas like Guru Pushya, Sarvarth Siddhi, and Amrit Siddhi Yog make this year’s Ahoi Ashtami even more special.

The fast on Ahoi Ashtami is incomplete without sighting the stars, and this year, the stars will rise at a particularly auspicious time. Women will perform the traditional ritual of offering Arghya to the stars, seeking blessings for their children. Along with this, the Ahoi Ashtami Puja Muhurat will take place in the evening, offering a perfect window for devotion and prayers.

Rare Astrological Yogas on Ahoi Ashtami 2024

One of the reasons this Ahoi Ashtami is particularly auspicious is due to the occurrence of rare astrological yogas. The Guru Pushya Nakshatra, Sarvarth Siddhi Yog, and Amrit Siddhi Yog are believed to amplify the spiritual significance of the day, making it more powerful for those observing the fast.

These powerful astrological alignments are believed to bring prosperity and good fortune to families, particularly for women who observe the Ahoi Ashtami vrat with full devotion.

Ahoi Ashtami: The Tradition of Offering Arghya to Stars

On Ahoi Ashtami, one of the most important rituals is offering Arghya (water) to the stars after they rise in the sky. The stars are considered to be descendants of Goddess Ahoi, a form of Goddess Parvati, and offering Arghya to them symbolises the completion of the fast. Women who perform this ritual pray for the well-being and success of their children, believing that Goddess Ahoi will bless their families with happiness and prosperity.

The Ahoi Ashtami vrat is observed nirjala (without food or water) throughout the day. Once the stars are sighted and the Arghya is offered, the fast is broken, completing the observance. The ritual also includes a special puja, where women worship Ahoi Mata, seeking her blessings.

Importance of Ahoi Ashtami Vrat

The fast observed on Ahoi Ashtami is considered one of the most powerful rituals for the protection and prosperity of children. By observing this vrat with full devotion, mothers are believed to secure the blessings of Goddess Ahoi, ensuring their children lead long, healthy, and prosperous lives.

This year, the rare astrological yogas enhance the spiritual potency of the vrat, making it a day of great significance for devotees. Women observing the fast and performing the puja during the auspicious muhurat can expect their prayers to be answered, with happiness and prosperity filling their homes.
