Astrologer Rinhee Suberwal, who is also a choreographer as well as a past life regression therapist, vaastu consultant, numerologist and crystal healer, says that it is important to take care as Holi and lunar eclipse is on the same day this year. She adds that you need to protect yourself well.
“Holi is a festival of joy, colors, and togetherness, but while celebrating, it is important to take care of your energy and vibrations. This becomes even more important if Holi falls around a lunar eclipse, as such times are believed to be when negative energies, including black magic, are at their peak,” she says.
Talking about how you can guard yourself, she says, “To protect yourself from any negative influences, make sure to remove the nazar (evil eye) when you return from the celebrations. It is also important to seek blessings from your elders and the Almighty by applying colors to them as a gesture of respect and gratitude. If Holi coincides with a full moon, take it as an opportunity to release any emotional burdens you have been carrying. Let go of past troubles and make space for positivity in your life. Respecting your gurus, spiritual mentors, and anyone who guides you on the right path is equally important. The planet Jupiter, known as the planet of wisdom and blessings, protects us in times of difficulty. However, if we insult or hurt our mentors in any way, it can lead to Pitra Dosh,a karmic imbalance that can cause chaos and obstacles in life.”
She adds, “Many people face problems and wonder why things keep going wrong for them, but they often overlook these spiritual aspects. After the lunar eclipse, it is advisable to take a spiritual bath and cleanse yourself to remove any lingering negativity. Additionally, to overcome difficulties and bring peace into your life, you can offer urad ke vade (black gram fritters) and imarti (a traditional sweet) to Lord Hanuman on that day. By following these practices, you can ensure a blessed and joyful Holi while maintaining positive energy and spiritual well-being. Celebrate with love, do good deeds, and spread happiness all around!”
