Gajakesari Raja Yoga to form during Navratri after 100 years, astrologers say seven signs may benefit
Shardiya Navratri begins on October 11, and astrology holds that a rare Jupiter-Moon alignment will form Gajakesari Raja Yoga after about 100 years.
In Hinduism, Shardiya Navratri is considered the most important festival for the worship of Goddess Durga. Over the nine days, devotees worship the nine forms of the goddess. Religious observances such as fasting and chanting are also performed.
This year, Shardiya Navratri begins on Sunday, October 11, and ends on Mahanavami on October 19. Vijayadashami, or Dussehra, will be celebrated the next day, October 20.
