Naag Panchami, a festival deeply rooted in Hindu tradition, will be celebrated in 2025 with great devotion across India. But this is not just about offering milk to cobras or worshiping snake idols. In Vedic astrology, serpents represent powerful cosmic energies — Rahu and Ketu, the shadow planets, symbolizing transformation, karmic debt, illusions, and liberation. This year, Naag Panchami coincides with key planetary movements that may stir deep emotional, psychological, and spiritual changes. Your zodiac sign could be directly impacted by the serpent energy that rules this mystical day. Here’s how Naag Panchami 2025 and the powers of Rahu and Ketu may affect you, based on your moon sign.
Snakes in Vedic astrology symbolize deeper subconscious forces—Rahu and Ketu, the Moon’s lunar nodes. Rahu governs material desire, illusion, and obsession, while Ketu represents spiritual detachment, intuition, and karmic release. Naga Panchami amplifies serpent symbolism, allowing us to confront subconscious fears, release karmic entanglements (Pitru or Kaal Sarp Dosha), and invite spiritual renewal.
This year’s Rahu in Aquarius and Ketu in Leo transit (since May 18, 2025) reshapes ambition, identity, and relationships across signs through Dec 2026. It sets the karmic stage for Naga Panchami rituals to accelerate emotional healing and realignment with purpose.
For maximum impact on this day:
Offer milk and black sesame at snake temples or ant‑hills.
Chant mantras such as “Om Sarpa Devaya Namaha” or “Om Kurukullaye Hum Phat Swaha” (108 times) to pacify Rahu–Ketu dosha
Draw serpent symbols at home entrance with turmeric and vermilionDonate to the needy, feed brahmins, and avoid digging the earth or harming snakes
Aries (Mesh):
With Rahu activating your 12th house of solitude and spirituality, hidden anxieties and emotional heartbreaks may surface. It’s a year to confront your inner self. Offer copper in flowing water and chant serpent mantras like “Om Rahave Namah” or “Om Sarpa Devaya Namah” 108 times on Naag Panchami to ease these energies.
Taurus (Vrishabha):
Rahu energizes desires and financial gains, but Ketu in the fifth house disrupts domestic harmony. To keep both energies balanced, immerse a coconut in running water, donate black sesame seeds, and feed those in need—traditions known to pacify Rahu–Ketu dosha and align home peace.
Gemini (Mithun):
With Rahu fueling digital opportunities and travel ambitions, Ketu prompts quiet reflection and career introspection. Offer food to those afflicted by leprosy and draw a naga symbol at your home entrance using turmeric or vermilion. This ritual softens restless energies and creates sacred protection.
Cancer (Karka):
Rahu in the transformative eighth house may reveal deep emotional shifts, while Ketu in the family-centric fourth can stir tension around speech and relationships. Immersing a snake pair icon in running water and chanting “Om Sarpa Devaya Namah” helps dissolve ancestral trauma and recalibrates inner peace.
Leo (Simha):
As the current sign of Ketu, you’ll wrestle with questions about your identity and authenticity. Rahu tests your partnerships and public image. Worship Lord Ganesha, offer yellow flowers to snake deities, and chant serpentine mantras to honor and balance this karmic tension.
Virgo (Kanya):
Rahu encourages financial growth and better health, while Ketu draws you toward solitude and spiritual wisdom. Offer wheat or sesame seeds to charity, and meditate on the serpent energy at dawn. Such acts detoxify your energy field and enhance clarity.
Libra (Tula):
Creative inspiration and romantic opportunities may surge under Rahu’s influence, but Ketu might pull you into emotional detachment. Place seeds under your pillow overnight and feed them to birds in the morning a symbolic gesture to release expectations and invite intuitive clarity.
Scorpio (Vrishchik):
Rahu may initiate relocations or bold creative projects, while Ketu clouds career vision spiritual ambivalence may surface. Worship Ganesha, draw a naga yantra at home, and offer prasadam to calm restless energy and awaken purposeful direction.
Sagittarius (Dhanu):
Rahu heightens travel and communication energy, while Ketu provocatively questions your beliefs and truth. Feed ants sweets mixed with flour and chant serpent mantras. This offering honors humble devotion and softens pride-based conflict.
Capricorn (Makar):
Rahu sparks new ventures and courage; Ketu brings insecurity and past-life echoes. Donate sesame grains and perform a Rahu–Ketu puja on Naag Panchami to align ambition with karmic balance and spiritual steadiness.
Aquarius (Kumbha):
As priority signs during Rahu–Ketu’s transit, you carry the main karmic shift: Aquarius embraces self-branding and innovation. For Aquarius, grounding rituals on Naag Panchami bring clarity to public roles;
Pisces (Meen):
while Pisces delves into meditation and spiritual exploration. for Pisces, meditative surrender to serpent energy can awaken intuitive wisdom and emotional healing.
