What is Durga Ashtami?
Durga Ashtami is the eighth day of Navratri. And dedicated to the worship of Maa Durga in her ferocious forms. This is the day when it is believed that the battle between the goddess and the demon Mahishasura was at its highest intensity. Traditional pujas are performed by the devotees, and bhog is offered to the goddess first, then distributed among all the devotees as a Prashad, and the day is celebrated with kanya pujan, in which nine young girls representing the nine forms of Devi are worshipped.
Different from other festivals, Durga Ashtami is not merely a ritual affair; it’s a spiritual synchronising of the worshipper and the cosmic feminine energy. And in 2025, this harmony is even stronger with powerful planetary positions influencing personal and mass horoscopes.

Significance of Durga Ashtami According to Astrology
Spiritual and Astrological Convergence
Though Durga Ashtami is full of mythology and tradition, there cannot be a more significant day astrologically. The Ashtami Tithi lunar energy, combined with planetary positions, sets the day for deciding the karmic debts, starting new beginnings, and seeking divine blessings.
Ashtami and the Moon Phase
The eighth day (Ashtami) is during the Shukla Paksha (waxing moon phase), a time with growth and illumination. The moon’s effect at this time makes our intuition and spiritual sensitivity greater. Therefore, any prayer, meditation, or ritual done during this day is magnified.
