Sharad Purnima 2025: How the Full Moon Illuminates Your Rashi

The Night of Divine Nectar

Sharad Purnima, also called Kojagari Purnima, marks the full moon night of the Hindu lunar month of Ashwin. In 2025, it falls on Monday, 6 October 2025. This night is celebrated as the time when moonlight is believed to shower Amrit (divine nectar) on the earth, infusing it with health, wealth, and spiritual grace. Ancient texts describe that on Sharad Purnima, the Moon shines with sixteen kalas (complete phases) and its cooling rays carry a special life-giving energy. Lord Krishna is said to have played the celestial Raas Leela with the Gopis under this radiant moon, symbolizing the union of the soul with the Divine.

Astrologically, a full moon represents culmination, clarity, and fulfillment. On Sharad Purnima 2025, the Moon will be in Aries (Mesha Rashi) opposite the Sun in Libra (Tula Rashi). This axis highlights self-versus relationships, individual will versus harmony. The other major planetary players, Jupiter in Gemini, Saturn in Aquarius, and Venus in Virgo, color the evening with intellectual expansion, steady progress, and refined love. Let’s explore how this luminous full moon will touch each zodiac sign and what remedies can help you capture its blessing.
