Mauni Amavasya arrives on January 18, 2026. This day carries a unique purpose. It is not for doing or fixing anything. Instead, it is meant for stopping. The planetary energy on this date turns heavy and inward. Many planets, including the Sun and Moon, gather in Capricorn. Saturn rules this sign.
Why Silence Matters on Mauni Amavasya
When Saturn dominates, emotions struggle to surface. They sit quietly inside as pressure, tiredness, or unspoken heaviness. This explains the traditional link with silence. Silence is not about virtue. Talking, analyzing, or reacting simply does not help on such a day.
Old emotional weight surfaces naturally. Guilt, responsibility, regrets, and control issues emerge. People carry these burdens for too long. Saturn does not respond to affirmations or dramatic release. It responds to acceptance and letting go.
Ho'oponopono and Emotional Release
Ho'oponopono works exceptionally well on Mauni Amavasya. This practice does not try to explain emotions or solve them. It simply acknowledges what is present and allows it to dissolve. Healing happens quietly on this day. It occurs almost unnoticed when you stop resisting and allow release.
