It is a time when families remember and honour their ancestors through rituals such as Shradh and Tarpan. For 16 days, prayers and offerings are made with the belief that departed souls return to Earth during this period to bless their descendants.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">Pitru Paksha is also as Sorah Shraddha, Mahalaya, Apara Paksha, and Pitarpas. While it is considered a spiritually powerful period, it is also marked as inauspicious because of its association with death rites. Still, people follow rituals with devotion, believing that doing so brings peace to ancestors and harmony to families.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Pitru Paksha 2025: Start and End Date<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>Pitru Paksha Start Date: September 7 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<li>Pitru Paksha End Date: September 21 (Sunday)<\/li>\n<li>Sarvapitri Amavasya (Mahalaya Amavasya): September 21<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">This 16-day period begins with the full moon and ends on Amavasya (new moon).

Families perform Shradh to repay Pitru Rin (ancestral debt) and seek blessings of peace, prosperity, and protection.<\/p>\n<p id=\"40\" class=\"story_para_40\">Traditionally, people prepare simple vegetarian food and offer it to Brahmins, priests, or needy people as part of the rituals. Donating clothes and food is also common. These rituals must be done with purity and sincerity, as intention matters as much as the act itself.<\/p>\n<p id=\"41\" class=\"story_para_41\">For those suffering from Pitru Dosha (a condition believed to bring obstacles due to unsettled ancestral karma), Pitru Paksha is an especially important time to perform pujas for relief. The city of Gaya in Bihar is considered the holiest place to conduct these rites.<\/p>\n<h2>Pitru Paksha 2025: Impact on Zodiac Signs<\/h2>\n<p id=\"43\" class=\"story_para_43\">This year, Pitru Paksha begins on September 7, and is believed to be extra significant as it starts with a Chandra Grahan (lunar eclipse). The combination of these events is said to create strong spiritual and cosmic energy that will influence all zodiac signs differently.<\/p>\n<p id=\"44\" class=\"story_para_44\">Here is what each sign may experience:<\/p>\n<ol class=\"listOncontentArticle\">\n<li>Aries:\u00a0Time to let go of old habits and focus on new approaches. Relationships may feel strained, so avoid unnecessary conflicts. Feeding crows is recommended.<\/li>\n<li>Taurus:\u00a0Trust your instincts and avoid situations that feel wrong. Perform Shradh rituals sincerely, as your ancestors are believed to be guiding you.<\/li>\n<li>Gemini:\u00a0Stay disciplined at work or you may face setbacks. Show your willingness to receive blessings by performing pujas and offerings.<\/li>\n<li>Cancer:\u00a0Emotional balance is key. The lunar eclipse may bring inner turmoil, so avoid starting new relationships. Offering food to cows is suggested.<\/li>\n<li>Leo:\u00a0Career breakthroughs and good fortune are likely. Do not rush into major decisions. Feeding crows can attract blessings.<\/li>\n<li>Virgo:\u00a0Focus on health and avoid unnecessary travel. Offering food and clothing to a Brahmin couple will help remove obstacles.<\/li>\n<li>Libra:\u00a0Communication may feel blocked, and you might struggle to express feelings. Light a diya under a peepal tree daily to seek peace.<\/li>\n<li>Scorpio:\u00a0Avoid anger and arguments, especially in relationships. Perform Pitru puja for harmony and the peace of your ancestors.<\/li>\n<li>Sagittarius:\u00a0Challenges from competitors may shake your confidence, but blessings in disguise await. Feeding animals will attract positive energy.<\/li>\n<li>Capricorn:\u00a0Health should be a priority, avoid outside food. Career may see hurdles, but Pitru Tarpan through a priest will bring relief.<\/li>\n<li>Aquarius:\u00a0Family life will feel joyful, and you may sense signs of ancestral presence. Reciting the Geeta Path for them is advised.<\/li>\n<li>Pisces:\u00a0Business plans may finally take shape, though new ventures should wait until after Pitru Paksha. Light a mustard oil diya under a peepal tree for blessings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"authorimg\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/nibandh-2025-08-0bfbfb51ab43cb8c593db94e911eeef0.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/nibandh-vinod-18149.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Nibandh Vinod<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Nibandh Vinod is a seasoned journalist with 26 years of experience, specializing in covering events, festivals, and driving SEO content for News18.com.
