Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, is one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals. In 2025, Dussehra will be observed on Thursday, October 2, 2025, marking the grand conclusion of Navratri and the victory of good over evil.

Spiritually, this day commemorates Lord Rama’s victory over Ravana and also the triumph of Goddess Durga over Mahishasura. From an astrological perspective, Dussehra is not only a day of celebration but also a highly auspicious time to remove negative influences and invite victory, courage, and harmony in life.

✨ Astrological Significance of Dussehra

  1. Alignment of Planets and Positive Energy
     Vijayadashami is considered a day when cosmic energy naturally supports righteousness. On this day, all three forms of Shakti — Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasaraswati — are invoked, blessing devotees with strength, wealth, and wisdom.
  2. Auspicious for New Beginnings
     Astrologers believe that Dussehra is among the Shubh Muhurats when one can start a new business, purchase property, or launch projects without checking the daily panchang.
  3. Victory Over Inner Negativity
     Just as Lord Rama destroyed Ravana’s ten heads, symbolizing lust, anger, greed, pride, and jealousy, Dussehra is a reminder to conquer our inner demons. In astrology, these weaknesses are linked with malefic planetary influences that can be balanced with remedies.
  4. Planetary Symbolism
    • Ravana’s Ten Heads represent the malefic side of planets when imbalanced.
    • Rama’s Bow and Arrow symbolize discipline (Saturn) and focus (Mars).
    • Durga’s Victory shows the strength of divine feminine energy (Shakti) supported by benefic planets like Moon and Venus.

📖 Scriptural Reference

The festival is beautifully described in Valmiki Ramayana and Markandeya Purana. A common chant during Vijayadashami is:

“यत्र धर्मः ततः जयः”
 Yatra Dharma Tatah Jayaḥ
 (Where there is Dharma, there will surely be victory).

This aligns with the astrological belief that following righteousness keeps one aligned with positive planetary vibrations.
