The month of Sawan is special for Shiva devotion and marital bliss. The festival of Hariyali Teej is celebrated on the Tritiya Tithi (third day) of the Shukla Paksha (bright fortnight) of this auspicious month. This year, the festival falls on July 27, 2025. The Hariyali Teej fast holds particular significance for married women. On this day, women worship Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati, seeking unbroken marital bliss.
According to astrologers, if women perform certain specific remedies according to their zodiac signs on this day, love, harmony, and stability in their married lives are further strengthened.
Aries: Remedy to pacify Shani Dosha (Saturn affliction)
Women of the Aries zodiac are currently experiencing the effects of Shani's Sade Sati (seven-and-a-half-year cycle). On Hariyali Teej, they should offer Ganga water mixed with black sesame seeds to the Shivalinga. This is believed to alleviate the obstacles caused by Saturn and bring stability to marital life.
Taurus: Abhishekam (ritual bathing) for progeny and longevity of the spouse
Taurus women should perform an abhishekam of Lord Shiva with milk and curd on this day. Planting a banyan tree sapling in a temple complex is also considered auspicious. This remedy strengthens the chances of progeny and ensures the long life of the husband.
Gemini: Gift to married women and plant a Belpatra (wood apple) tree
Gemini women should gift items of suhaag (auspicious marital symbols) like bangles, vermilion, bindi, etc., to a married woman on Hariyali Teej. Planting a Belpatra tree at home is also considered auspicious. This remedy removes difficulties in life.
Cancer: Donate rice to overcome financial worries
Cancer women should offer a handful of rice to the Shivalinga on this day and then donate rice to the needy. This improves the financial situation of the household and reduces financial troubles.
Leo: Offer wheat and plant a Peepal (sacred fig) tree
Leo women should offer wheat to the Shivalinga on Hariyali Teej. Planting a Peepal tree in a temple complex is also considered beneficial. This remedy is auspicious for the good health and long life of the husband.
Virgo: Offer Datura and chant mantras
Virgo women should offer Datura and its fruit to Lord Shiva on this day. They should also chant the twelve names of Shiva. This remedy strengthens career prospects, family status, and social prestige.
Libra: Offer roses and gift to Goddess Parvati
Libra women should offer rose flowers to the Shivalinga and gift items of suhaag like vermilion, comb, and bangles to Goddess Parvati. Such offerings bring sweetness to family relationships and increase love.
