Magha Purnima 2026: A Sacred Convergence of Pushya Yoga and Full Moon
The upcoming Full Moon in February 2026 is set to be an exceptionally sacred occasion, marked by the formation of Pushya Yoga on Magha Purnima. This is not merely an ordinary celestial event but an extraordinary day for individuals seeking to fulfill their deepest desires and aspirations through spiritual means.
The Power of Pushya Yoga on Magha Purnima
Magha Purnima is renowned for its immense spiritual potency, which is further amplified by the presence of Ravi Pushya Yoga. This unique yoga occurs through a rare celestial alignment when the Pushya Nakshatra coincides with Sunday, known as Ravivaar. The day is considered Siddha, meaning any spiritual activity, remedy, manifestation, or meditation performed during this period is believed to yield permanent results, blessing participants with wish fulfillment.
