Thursday, July 24 (starts 2:30 AM IST on July 24 and ends at 12:42 AM IST on July 25) is Ādi Amāvāsyā, a deeply significant day to honor our ancestors, release past karmas, and reset our spiritual compass. Occurring in the Tamil month of Ādi and during the Sun’s southward journey (Dakshinayana), this New Moon is especially supportive for inner healing, ancestral honoring, and spiritual intention setting.
The Moon governs the mind – its phases mirroring our emotional tides, and when the Moon reaches its darkest point on Amāvāsyā, we’re offered a chance to look inward, to pause, and to heal.
This isn’t just any Amāvāsyā. Ādi Amāvāsyā is one of the most auspicious days of the year to perform tarpanam offerings to our ancestors. According to the scriptures, when we offer gratitude to those who came before us, we not only bring peace to their souls but also dissolve unseen karmic patterns that may be affecting our present lives.
On this day, the Sun and Moon align in the sign of Cancer – ruled by the Moon itself, Cancer is deeply connected to lineage, emotion, memory, and the home. This allows for powerful ancestral healing and an opportunity to reconnect with your roots.
If you’ve been carrying emotional weight, experiencing repeated patterns, or simply looking for a deeper connection with your spiritual journey – this is your moment to shift.
The align27 app guides you with personalized rituals based on your birth chart and current planetary transits. Whether it’s the exact time to offer water to your ancestors, mantras to recite, or moments to be in silence – the app will show you how to align with this powerful lunar energy in a way that’s uniquely yours.
Use this day to:
🙏 Offer prayers and water with sesame seeds to your ancestors.
📿 Chant matrubhyo Namah and pitrubhyo Namah to honor your ancestors.
🧘 Sit in silence during your Silence Moment in the align27 app.
🌕 Perform a ritual aligned with your Moon sign for emotional renewal.
💫 Reflect on what needs to be released so you can move forward with lightness and clarity.
Let Ādi Amāvāsyā be a day of reverence, realignment, and renewal, for your soul and for the generations that came before you.
