The highly auspicious Pushya Nakshatra will fall between October 14 and 15, 2025, just before Diwali. This period is considered ideal for beginning Diwali shopping and carrying out sacred or new ventures.
In astrology, Pushya Nakshatra holds great significance and is regarded as one of the most auspicious constellations. It is ruled by Lord Jupiter (Brihaspati), who represents wisdom, wealth, and good fortune. According to belief, any religious or charitable act performed during this Nakshatra yields multiplied blessings. Worshiping Lord Vishnu, Goddess Lakshmi, and Lord Shiva during this time is considered especially beneficial.

The Pushya Nakshatra before Diwali is believed to be one of the most favorable days for purchasing gold, silver, vehicles, property, or other valuables. This day falls just before Dhanteras, and many families begin their Diwali preparations by shopping during this period. It is believed that items purchased on this day bring lasting prosperity and good luck to the household.
According to mythological beliefs, Pushya Nakshatra is also considered the birth Nakshatra of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and abundance. Therefore, buying gold or metal objects on this day is believed to invite Goddess Lakshmi into one’s home, ensuring continuous happiness, prosperity, and divine blessings.
