Diwali, Love & Relationships
Astrologically, the Amavasya phase of Diwali also brings about emotional renewal. Couples should light a diya together and recite “Om Hreem Shreem Kleem Namah” in order to balance the Venus energy — the planet of love and harmony. If there have been misunderstandings or distance between you and your relationships, this is the night to turn over a new leaf.
Cosmic Message
Diwali is a reminder that darkness and light co-exist, and that you have a choice, karma, and spiritual awareness over which grows in strength. This year, the stars are asking for balance — between giving and receiving, wealth and gratitude, and desire and peace.
