“Janmashtami is the day when we celebrate the Lord Krishna was born on Ashtami Tithi when the moon transited Rohini Nakshatra. And this year during Janamasthami Moon and Rahu are both in Rohini Nakshatra.
Astrologically Speaking…
It is said that any evils of malefic planets can be removed and the blesisngs of natural benefic planets can be obtained by worshipping the deities associated with the tithi ruled by the planets.
Lord Krishna was born on Ashtami Tithi (8th waning lunar day), so worshipping HIM as Bal Gopal (child form) on the 8th lunar day can help us overcome the evils of our karma that caused this rebirth. Ashtami tithi is ruled by Rahu and this is one of the best remedies for Rahu.
