Aaj Ka Panchang, August 16, 2025: Today is dedicated to the Ashtami Tithi of Krishna Paksha of Shravan month, which is considered extremely sacred from the religious point of view. This date is especially famous for fasting and worship of Shri Krishna Janmashtami, although the actual Janmashtami date depends on specific beliefs and Nishith Kaal in the Panchang.
The Moon is still located in Aries today and is transiting in Krittika Nakshatra, which indicates energy, determination, and predominance of the fire element. Krittika Nakshatra provides brilliance, firmness, and clarity.
Today’s Dhruva Yoga indicates stability in life, firmness of decisions, and continuity in action. This day is suitable for working with confidence, taking bold decisions, and bringing discipline in life.
This combination of Aries Moon and Krittika Nakshatra gives you the power to accelerate your plans and execute them. However, one should avoid starting any important work during today’s Rahukaal and other inauspicious times.
August 16, 2025, is a day full of confidence and strong thoughts. The fire element of Krittika Nakshatra will give you extra energy today, which can inspire you to complete your unfinished tasks. If you want to give a concrete shape to a new plan or determination, then today can be a good day to move in that direction – just keep in mind the inauspicious time. This day is considered especially favorable for worship, penance, fasting, or any sacred resolution.
Today is a day of dedication, clarity, and fast work. Recognize your inner strength with worship of God and move towards your goals with determination. There may be signs of progress in both material and spiritual fields.
