Relevance of Deepawali :
Sun and Moon are two luminaries of our planetary system. It is through Sun that moon gets strength or light. So primary strength of Moon depends on the distance from Sun. On Amavashya day moon is weakest.
Similarly Sun is debilitated in Libra and its deep debilitation point is 20 degree Libra.
Both luminaries Sun and Moon becomes weak simultaneously when Sun and Moon is conjoins in Libra this happens on kartik amavashya day and this day you celebrate Deepawali.
Generally this day moon transits Swati nakshtra ruled by rahu and as you know that due to Rahu eclipse or major affliction to Sun and Moon happens.
In this context it is also important to note that in Deepawali Goddess Lakshmi along with lord Ganpati is worshiped. The vehicle of Goddess Lakshmi is owl .Owl sees only in darkness. Further the maha nishakaal –the best Muhurth of tantric ritual comes at mid night in Leo ascendant.
So all the factors of darkness are together on this day – astrologically it is the darkest day of the year. This is the reason to celebrate deepawali –a festival of deep or light. It is also very important for tantric rituals as control over evil spirit is easily possible and one can acquire hidden or invisible power on this day and also puja is performed to seek protection against evil and enemies and for general happiness, health, wealth, and peace.
