Mauni Amavasya 2026: Did you see your ancestors in your dreams on the night of the new moon? Don't ignore them, or else...

News Topical, Digital Desk : The auspicious festival of Mauni Amavasya will be celebrated on January 18, 2026. In scriptures, this day is not only significant for bathing and charity, but it is also considered a subtle time to connect with the ancestors. According to religious beliefs, the distance between us and the world of ancestors is reduced on the night of Amavasya.

People often dream of their ancestors during this time. According to dream science and astrology, these dreams have a profound meaning. These dreams are not mere coincidences, but may be important signals from our ancestors.

1. Appearance of ancestors in happy mood

If you dream of your ancestors smiling, blessing, or appearing calm, it is a highly auspicious sign. It means that your ancestors are satisfied with you and your actions. This dream indicates that obstacles will soon be removed from your life, and some auspicious event or major success may occur at home.

2. Begging for something or looking sad

If ancestors appear in dreams crying, sick, or begging for something (such as food or water), it is considered a warning. According to astrology, this indicates that their souls are not yet fully satisfied or that they are expecting you to perform some religious ritual. Therefore, on Mauni Amavasya, you should definitely perform tarpan (offerings), incense, and donate food in their name.

3. Holding hands or walking together

If you dream of an ancestor leading you by the hand or walking alongside you, it symbolizes their protection. It means that their invisible power is with you even during difficult times, guiding you in the right direction.

4. Placing a hand on the head or feeding food

If you dream of your ancestors placing their hands on your head, it indicates the end of ancestral curses. If they are feeding you something, it indicates future prosperity and comforts.

What to do if ancestors appear in your dreams?

If you have visions of your ancestors around Mauni Amavasya , wake up the next morning and face south and offer your respects. Feed jaggery and bread to a cow, and if possible, donate white goods (such as rice, milk, or sugar) to a poor person.
