Aaj Ka Panchang, October 16, 2025: Today is an auspicious day for spiritual practice, self-control, and devotion as it is the Ekadashi Tithi of Krishna Paksha, which is considered extremely fruitful for Vishnu
Bhakti, fasting, and self-purification. Ekadashi is the best day for liberation from sins in life, stability of mind, and spiritual advancement. Thursday is also ruled by Jupiter, the god of knowledge and science, which further increases the auspiciousness of today.
The Moon is placed in Leo today, which is a symbol of self-confidence, leadership, and splendor. The transit of the Moon in Leo will allow you to strengthen your reputation and self-confidence. However, it is necessary to stay away from ego. Today’s Nakshatra is Magha, which is related to ancestors and is considered a symbol of the blessings of ancestors. This Nakshatra will inspire you to connect with traditions and roots. It is best for any Pitra Karma, Tarpan, or Pitra-related rituals.
Shubh Yoga is present till 2:10:20 am, which is a factor of good luck, success, and accomplishment of auspicious works. Religious and social work done in this yoga is very fruitful.
Observe Ekadashi fast and chant the mantra ‘Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevay’ in the worship of Lord Vishnu. Wear yellow clothes, which will get the auspicious effect of Jupiter. Eat fruits and maintain sattva guna. Donate water or tarpan for the elders and ancestors; this brings happiness and peace in the house.
Today is a very auspicious day for religion, devotion, and self-purification. The feeling of restraint and sacrifice remains strong due to the effect of Ekadashi, while Magha Nakshatra and Leo Moon can increase self-confidence and social prestige. With Vishnu worship, fasting, and restraint, this day can prove to be progressive not only spiritually but also mentally and socially.
