Important things about Vikram Samvat 2076

Shani (Saturn) as the King

The lord of the day on which the new year (Samvat) starts is the king of that year. Since this new year is starting on a Saturday, so Shani (Saturn) will be the king of this year. The general population this year will experience a stronger than before touch of spirituality or embark on an inward journey this year. Nature will have its troublesome effects regarding rainfall this year.

Sun as the Minister

Sun will be the minister this year and will result in superior agricultural produce in the north-eastern part of India. The production of fruits will be on the higher side, thus bringing down their prices.

Numerological influence of Venus

Yes, if you apply numerology to this new year's figure, then by adding 2076 you get the total as 6 which is a number that is ruled by Venus. Venus promotes luxury, indulgence and splendour hence people may be mesmerized by comforts & conveniences more than usual this year!

Rahu & Ketu

We cannot ignore these 'Shadow Planets' that have their sudden & extremely strong effects on people. Rahu and Ketu have already moved into the signs of Gemini and Sagittarius, respectively in March 2019 and will remain in these signs till September 2020.

So Vikram Samvat 2076 will have complete influence of Rahu and Ketu transiting in signs that are said to elevate them to an 'exalted' state. Now, Rahu and Ketu are 'naturally malefic planets' are them being super strong means rise in troubles in the form of sudden bad events.

Hence, one must go for the 'Navgraha Puja for Vikram Samvat 2076' to pacify the malefic planets in his/her life ann strengthen those positive, to ensure a successful & prosperous Vikram Samvat 2076!

Shani-Ketu Yuti (Saturn- Ketu Conjunction)

Saturn and Ketu are conjunct in the 'fiery' sign of Sagittarius and forming a dreaded combination that is likely to shake up the lives of many people. This conjunction will continue till January 2020, which means it will affect almost the entire part of Vikram Samvat 2076.

Saturn represents the Air element and Sagittarius is a sign associated with the Fire element. This will aggravate the volatility in the aspects that this sign signified in the life of a person as per his/her natal chart. Plus, Ketu as per Vedic Astrology is akin to Mars which is a very volatile planet and promotes conflicts. Therefore, Ketu conjunct in a fiery sign with Saturn warrants caution.

We urge you go for a 'Shani Shanti Puja' and protect yourself specifically from the malefic effects of planet Shani (Saturn) during this Vikram Samvat 2076.

Hope you would keep these points in mind and have a great New Year in the form of Vikram Samvat 2076 ahead!
