Is the 20th Shani Amavasya (Saturday New Moon)?
👉 The answer is: No. The Amavasya ends at 7:12 a.m.

🌌 How is the day of Amavasya or Purnima decided?

Many people get confused about which day should be considered.

📌 Important rule:
Amavasya and Purnima are more closely related to the night.

Example:
If

• 💠 Amavasya begins on the 1st at 6:00 p.m., and

• 💠 ends on the 2nd at 8:00 p.m.,

then the 1st is considered more important, because most of that night falls under Amavasya.

👉 Based on this rule, write in the comment box:
Will you consider the current Amavasya on the 19th or the 20th?

🌍 Sun – Moon – Earth: The Triangle of Energy

• ☀️ Sun — gives energy

• 🌙 Moon — regulates energy

• 🌍 Earth — receives energy

During Amavasya and Purnima, the positions of these three change, so cosmic energy also changes.

🪐 What are Shani Amavasya and Somvati Amavasya?

🔹 Shani Amavasya
When certain alignments occur between the Sun, Moon, and Earth, it is believed that the Saturn (Shani) principle becomes active.

👉 Therefore:

• Visiting Shani temples

• Charity

• Practicing discipline and responsibility

are believed to increase Shani’s blessings.

🔹 Somvati Amavasya
On this day the Moon is not visible. The Moon’s friend is considered to be Lord Shiva (Som).

👉 Therefore on this day:

• Worship of Shiva is considered important for mental peace and emotional balance.

🌠 The Moon’s Motion – A Little Science

• The Moon travels through 27 constellations (nakshatras)

• One full cycle takes about 29.5 days

👉 In each cycle there is:

• ⚫ 1 New Moon (Amavasya)

• ⚪ 1 Full Moon (Purnima)

🗓️ In 365 days there are approximately:

• 2 lunar eclipses

• 2 solar eclipses

• 3 Shani Amavasya

• 3 Somvati Amavasya

🌊 Eclipses, New Moon, and Full Moon – What effects occur?

🔸 On these days, energy on Earth is said to become unstable.
Some people call this superstition, but what does science say?

👉 During these periods:

• Ocean tides become stronger

• Animals and birds move less

• Changes are noticed in the environment

➡️ If nature is affected by these energies, why wouldn’t humans be affected too?

🧘‍♂️ What precautions should be taken?

🌑🌕 On these days:

• Avoid very important tasks

• Postpone unnecessary work

• Avoid excessive physical effort

• Avoid alcohol and impure/heavy foods, because the body is believed to absorb less energy that day.

👁️ If someone believes they are affected by the evil eye or negativity, using coconut or camphor is suggested in traditional practices.

🔬 From a physical perspective:
🔭 These are astronomical realities.

Amavasya and Purnima are not days to fear, but days to stay aware and mindful.
