Patna: As Bihar gears up for the swearing-in ceremony of the new NDA government on November 20, astrologers have weighed in on the auspiciousness of the chosen time.
With Nitish Kumar and other key leaders set to take the oath, the focus is on whether the muhurat aligns with favourable planetary positions for stability and success.
Vedic astrology experts schedule the ceremony during Shukla Paksha, a time considered highly auspicious for new beginnings. The selected time falls under Ravi Yoga, which is believed to enhance authority and leadership qualities. Additionally, the day coincides with Vrishchika Rashi (Scorpio), a sign associated with resilience and strategic thinking — traits crucial for governance.
The oath-taking muhurat reportedly avoids inauspicious periods like Rahu Kaal and Yamagand, ensuring a positive start for the new administration. Experts claim that the planetary alignment favours long-term stability, but challenges may arise due to Saturn’s influence, indicating a need for disciplined governance.
Astrologers also suggest that Nitish Kumar’s personal horoscope aligns well with the timing, strengthening prospects for a smooth tenure. However, they caution that political turbulence cannot be ruled out entirely, as Mars and Saturn’s positions hint at occasional conflicts within the alliance.
While astrology may not dictate politics, such analyses continue to hold cultural significance in Bihar, where muhurat selection is considered vital for major events.
