Diwali 2025: Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated every year on Kartik Amavasya. This year, Diwali is being celebrated on October 20th. It is said that on the night of Diwali, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, herself visits the Earth.
Certain signs can indicate that Goddess Lakshmi is about to arrive in your home. Find out what these signs are:
Signs that Goddess Lakshmi is visiting you
Sighting an Owl
According to astrologers, if you spot an owl in its natural habitat on Diwali night, your luck is about to change. The owl is the vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi. It is said that Goddess Lakshmi is pleased with you and all your financial problems will be eliminated.
Flickering Diyas
When Diyas (small oil lamps) flicker suddenly, it's a sign that divine energy is in your home. It means that Goddess Mahalakshmi has come to bless you with happiness and good fortune. If a diya has trouble staying lit, it suggests that your problems will soon be resolved.
Cow shows up
If a cow shows up unexpectedly during Diwali celebrations, it is a sign that Lord Krishna is nearby. This means you are being blessed with wealth and good fortune. Cows are considered sacred and symbolize purity and motherhood, so seeing one on Diwali is seen as a very good sign.
Sudden Fragrance
It is also said that sometimes, for no apparent reason, a foul smell emanates from within or around the house, indicating a serious Vastu defect or negativity. Similarly, when positivity increases and Goddess Lakshmi is pleased, a fragrance begins to emanate from within and around the house.
Tulsi (Basil) Turns Green
If Tulsi (Basil) suddenly turns green in your home, it is a clear sign that Goddess Lakshmi has entered your home and is showering wealth and prosperity. You are about to experience substantial financial gain. No matter how much debt such a person has, it is quickly cleared and they become wealthy.
Fireworks Bursting
Fireworks are a normal part of Diwali, but if they suddenly go off with loud bangs and bright lights, it means the Gods are happy with your prayers and offerings. This surprising burst of light and sound is a sign that a blessing is coming your way.
Flowers Falling from the Puja Thali
During the Laxmi Devi Puja, if the flowers fall off the worship plate unexpectedly, it means the deities are accepting your prayers and offerings. This shows that your wishes are being heard, and soon you will receive success, happiness, and wealth.
Sudden increase in wealth
If your wealth, i.e., your bank balance, suddenly increases, then understand that Goddess Lakshmi is blessing you this Diwali. When a person becomes debt-free or their expenses suddenly decrease, this is also considered a sign of Lakshmi residing in your home.
Wind Shifting During Puja
While you are worshipping on Diwali night, if you notice a sudden change in the wind blowing outside, it means that good changes are coming. This suggests that your current problems will go away, and new opportunities will appear that can lead you to success.
Knock on the Door
If you hear an unexpected knock on the door during Lakshmi Puja on Diwali night, it is a good sign. It represents good luck and a fresh start, meaning you will receive many opportunities that can help you grow and succeed in life.
Reciting the Sri Sukta
According to astrologers, Goddess Lakshmi definitely resides in the house where people regularly recite the Kanak Dhara Stotra or the Sri Sukta. To please the Goddess, regular worship should be performed on Fridays. In the evening, a lamp should be lit in front of Goddess Lakshmi and Tulsi.
