New moon April 2025: What the angel numbers mean for you today

Hindustan Times25-04-2025

The spiritual energy that comes with the Vaishakha Amavasya on April 27, 2025, is prevalent and karmic. Amavasya, or New Moon, within the Indian lunar calendar, is linked to an ambience that is profound for reflection, closure, and new beginnings. The intensity of Vaishakha Amavasya is even greater because it is the holy month associated with Lord Vishnu and linked with purity, transformation, and spiritual growth. Emotionally shaken, spiritually awakened, or suddenly urged to release seemingly old habits or old relationships: the end of such karmic cycles is something that is felt during Amavasya.
If, during this time, you seem to keep seeing angel numbers like 111, 999, or 444, it is not a coincidence; these are messages from the universe—divine signals in your inner journey. The angel numbers are gentle nudges from your higher self, ancestors, or spiritual beings, assisting you in following your soul's purpose. Let us delve into what the angel numbers around Vaishakha Amavasya are telling you and how beautifully they resonate with this cosmic time of renewal.
Let us first understand what Vaishakha Amavasya brings to our lives before interpreting the numbers spoken by the angels. It is more than the end of a lunation, but a spiritual reset button. This Amavasya is unique because it is the best for letting go of past karma, cleansing one's energies, and preparing for the spiritual leap. According to ancient Indian astrology, Amavasya is a time to say prayers for dead ancestors, to give charity, and to meditate for any much-needed clarity.
During the month of Vaishakha, these practices become even stronger, for nature now favours the internal scouring of oneself and connection with the divine. The air feels a bit different; dreams may come out a bit vivid, and emotions may rise to the surface. Such is the time when the inner world calls for deep listening. And as part of that divine communication, you're sure to notice repeating numbers everywhere-from clocks to receipts to phone numbers or even dreams. Each number vibrates at a frequency matching the current state of your spirit.
Whenever you keep seeing 111 around the time of Vaishakha Amavasya or New Moon, understand this to be a call from the divine by the universe. This number became the marker of newness in the spiritual birth cycle. Just as Amavasya wipes away the emotional slate, so also opens the door to higher consciousness through 111. You are entering a different vibrational frequency. Your thoughts are now powerful, so make sure they are good and mindful because the universe is always listening. If you have been thinking about starting a spiritual practice, be it meditation, yoga, or mantra chanting, this is the best time to do it. Therefore, this number in the shadow of Vaishakha Amavasya says that your soul is beginning to awaken. Let go of fears and doubts. Trust that whatever is ending is making way for something divine to begin. You are not alone- your angels and guides are with you to help you rewrite your spiritual story.
If you happen to see 999 at this time, then, according to your Karma, something in your life comes to a completion of a cycle. This number symbolises release and forgiveness, as well as closure. Just like Amavasya renders the moon invisible, some aspects of your life—relationships, old habits, or beliefs that no longer serve you—could now also disappear. That number encourages you to surrender to the plan of Divinity. Stop resisting the end of anything, but give it a proper closure so it can end. Simple rituals on Amavasya include lighting a diya for ancestors or writing something needing to be let go of and burning it safely. These symbolic acts clear emotional space. 999 is indeed a sacred message from the universe saying that you are now ready to close an old chapter and move forward into a more spiritually aligned life. After all, there's no need to fear endings-they're also beginnings in disguise.
If the number 444 stalks you during the New Moon cycle, it means that your angels have stepped into close proximity to you. They are providing protections as well as comfort and stability since, like a spiritual hug, the number appears during this sensitive period of Amavasya. Vaishakha Amavasya may fill up healing with all those old memories of emotions, and 444 assures you that you are not alone in your healing endeavours. Your ancestors bless you. Your spirit guides are nearby. Support is forthcoming toward the path ahead, although you can't see it clearly right now. You can call upon Archangels or simply pray in your own words. Light a ghee lamp, sit in silence, and ask for protection and strength. 444 reminds you that you are divinely watched over, especially when life feels uncertain or heavy.
When you repeatedly see 222 in this period, it means that the universe feeds your thoughts to bring harmony to your life. Amavasya is indeed an inward yet 222 layers; it further necessitates that one's spiritual insights must now match one's worldly duties. Are you giving yourself enough rest? Do your relationships align with your values? Are you nourishing your body as much as your soul? 222 is a perfect sign to restore peace and trust in the perfect timing of life. Everything goes well in the divine order of time. There's no need to hurry. Sit calmly and do your work while everything is set behind the scenes.
Seeing 555 around Amavasya means a major change is happening or about to happen in your life. Don't panic- these changes will only convert you into a spiritual being. The universe here seems to have moved around you so that you can let go of your original self and become the personality you came to be. Amavasya is said to support that transformation; the seed of that new life is already planted into dark, rich soil. Be receptive towards change, even if it feels uncomfortable, and trust that change is only happening for the highest good. You can break down the limitations, discover a new path, or say yes to any opportunity that aligns with who you are during these periods of time. 555 is telling you that you are ready to move up a level because the universe knows.
New Moon or Amavasya, more than any other by far of the moonless nights, quickly dissolves the barrier that divides this world from the next. Your intuition becomes more keenly attuned; your ties with the divine deepen. No wonder angel numbers crop up so much more often- they do because all this time you are open. Your soul feels it most at this time. The universe knows this, so rather than bestowing upon you huge signs, it subtly gives you numerical nudges. Observe them and think. Spend some minutes every day in silence, and take a journal to record what numbers you are seeing. Take note of the thoughts or emotions elicited when you come face-to-face with them. Gradually, you will begin to learn and understand the language particular to you and the universe.
Angel numbers are just one among the various means that the universe employs to talk with you, especially at a spiritually enriched time like this Amavasya. Be it 111, 999, 444, or any sort of sequence, let it not bother you. These are divine whispers for guiding the soul on its journey. This Amavasya is an invitation for you to reset, let go, and reconnect with your true self. Let the past detach itself; bless that which leaves, and keep your arms open to these new things. Your angels are walking with you. Trust them. Trust yourself. Stay open, stay humble, and keep listening. The universe is always sending love; all you have to do is receive.

Sindoor, Vyom, Sofiya – newly-hatched Great Indian Bustard chicks in Jaisalmer get names that ring a bell

Operation Sindoor has become a symbol of national pride, and its legacy now lives on in an unexpected way — through the naming of newly-hatched Great Indian Bustard (GIB) chicks. To honour the heroes involved in the operation, the Rajasthan Forest Department has named four chicks born in May 2025 after Operation Sindoor and the individuals associated with it. The GIB, a critically endangered species found primarily in Western Rajasthan, is the focus of conservation efforts by the Ministry of Environment. Brijmohan Gupta, Divisional Forest Officer at Desert National Park, told The Indian Express, 'This is our way of remembering those who stood against the enemies. In May 2025, eight chicks were born. We named four of them: 'Sindoor' after Operation Sindoor, 'Vyom' after Wing Commander Vyomika Singh, 'Mishri' in honour of an undercover intelligence officer, and 'Sophia' after Colonel Sofia Qureshi. Our goal is not just to increase the bird population but also to connect wildlife conservation with national interest.' Operation Sindoor was launched early May 7 by the Indian military to destroy nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir (PoK) in retaliation to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Subsequently, India responded strongly to Pakistan's attempts to target its military and civilian areas with drones, missiles and other weapons. 'It's not just about saving a bird, it's about preserving the values that define us as a nation,' Gupta added. At present, there are 65 GIBs at the Centre for Great Indian Bustard Conservation in Jaisalmer. In 2025 alone, 21 chicks were born through captive breeding programmes. The National Conservation Breeding Programme continues to work toward saving the species, whose global population is estimated to be fewer than 150, most of them in Rajasthan. Once found across India's grasslands, the GIB has been pushed to the brink of extinction due to habitat loss, poaching, and infrastructural threats like power lines. To counter this crisis, Project GIB was launched in 2018 as a joint initiative of the Ministry of Environment, the Wildlife Institute of India, and the Rajasthan Forest Department. The breeding centres at Sudasari and Sam are equipped with AI-enabled surveillance, temperature-controlled incubators, and sensor-based monitoring systems. This advanced infrastructure ensures real-time tracking of egg conditions and chick health. The newly-born chicks are trained in semi-natural enclosures to help them adapt to wild conditions. The eventual goal is their reintroduction into open desert landscapes, where their survival and breeding in the wild will mark a turning point in India's conservation journey. Gupta said the department's next focus is to enhance survival rates and reduce infant mortality. AI monitoring has already improved outcomes, allowing for early intervention and round-the-clock care. The team also involves local communities to foster a sense of shared responsibility for protecting this critically endangered species.

Sugar Rs 5,000, Oil Rs 4,000: Gazans Blame Israel, They Say It's Hamas

New Delhi: On the morning of Eid al-Adha, prayers across the Gaza Strip were conducted not in mosques, but in the rubble of what used to be homes, schools, and religious institutions. A ceasefire is not in sight, and neither is a meal. The traditions that usually mark this holiday, sacrificial meat, communal feasts, and gifts for children, are unrecognisable now. Instead, a singular item dominates conversations: food, or the lack of it. A recent viral post from Gaza featuring the biscuit, Parle-G, claimed that they are being sold at over 24 euros, which is approximately Rs 2,400. Like the biscuits, most goods sold in Gaza's markets have become unaffordable to nearly everyone. A list obtained by NDTV from inside Gaza documents the going rates for basic staples. Converted into Indian rupees (1 new Israeli shekel = Rs 24.57), it reads like this: 1 litre of cooking oil: 170 shekel (approx. Rs 4,177) 1 kilogram of sugar: 200 shekel (approx. Rs 4,914) 1 kilogram of milk powder: 35 shekel (approx. Rs 860) 1 kilogram of flour: 60 shekel (approx. Rs 1,474) 1 kilogram of salt: 20 shekel (approx. Rs 491) 1 kilogram of okra: 45 shekel (approx. Rs 1,106) 1 kilogram of duck meat: 30 shekel (approx. Rs 737) 1 kilogram of tomatoes: 45 shekel (approx. Rs 1,106) 1 kilogram of onions: 180 shekel (approx. Rs 4,423) 1 kilogram of potatoes: 80 shekel (approx. Rs 1,966) 1 kilogram of brinjal: 35 shekel (approx. Rs 860) 1 kilogram of lemon: 60 shekel (approx. Rs 1,474) 1 kilogram of lentils: 35 shekel (approx. Rs 860) 1 cup of coffee: 180 shekel (approx. Rs 4,423) 1 box of goat meat: 200 shekel (approx. Rs 4,914) Prices like these are unthinkable in a territory where virtually no one has an income. Israel Say It's Hamas Israel insists Hamas is hijacking aid. Speaking exclusively with NDTV, Israeli embassy spokesperson Guy Nir said, "There are masked gunmen who are Hamas, who are shooting at the Gazans because Hamas doesn't want this operation to succeed. The thing is, for the first year and a half, most of the aid trucks that went into Gaza were looted. Hamas looted about 80 per cent of all trucks." According to Mr Nir, Hamas is selling the contents to civilians at inflated prices. This system, he claims, allowed Hamas to exert economic and political control over the population. In northern Gaza, Israel issued a warning on Friday that it would launch "intensive operations" in areas from which rockets had reportedly been fired. The military said four of its soldiers died earlier in Khan Younis when explosives collapsed a Hamas compound. Five others were injured. The UN's Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) now projects that by September, nearly 500,000 people in Gaza will be experiencing "catastrophic food insecurity", the highest level of hunger categorisation before famine. "The amount of humanitarian aid that came into Gaza during the first year and a half was astronomical," Mr Nir said. "We delivered over 3,500 calories per person per day. If everybody ate everything we brought in, they would be fat.

Pebbles of progress

'If you want to feed a person for a day give him a fish, if you wish to feed him for a lifetime, teach him how to fish.' Dr Ajit Varwandkar is a Career Psychologist and a Thought process Transformation Expert by profession. He is working on enhancing employability through career guidance and training. Just capacity development is not his motto; enabling youth is the intent. He started his career as a mechanical engineer and eventually went into clinical psychology, management and doctoral research. He is an avid trainer of Thought Engineering for corporate and educational institutes. He is a music lover and plays the Indian classical percussion instrument – Tabla. He is the author of the book Think Success and Be Successful. He loves to write inspirational blogs on self-improvement and career development issues. He believes in living life at zero complaint level and is always keen to focus on solutions than on excuses. LESS ... MORE We often chase success as if it's a race to be won in a day. But the truth is, success usually visits those who stay committed to small, steady steps, even when no one is watching and even when progress is painfully slow. Let me tell you the story of a farmer named Ravi who lived in a small village. His crops dried up every summer because his well had no water. People advised him to buy water, but Ravi had a different idea. He believed in creating a lasting solution. So, each morning, he picked up his spade and dug a little deeper into the hard, dry earth. Just an hour a day. His neighbors laughed. 'Why waste time?' they mocked. But Ravi remembered his father's words: 'Steady work moves mountains.' Weeks passed. There was no water. just dust and sweat. Still, Ravi continued. One morning, a miracle happened – moist soil appeared. Then came the water. By the next summer, while others watched their crops wither, Ravi's fields were green and thriving. Ravi's story reminds us that steady effort beats noisy intentions. You may recall the classic tale of the thirsty crow. Finding a pitcher with water too low to reach, the crow didn't complain or fly away. Instead, it patiently dropped pebbles into the jar, one by one. It took time. It took effort. But in the end, the water rose high enough to quench the crow's thirst. That crow didn't need magic. It needed patience. I also remember a real-life example from a crowded marketplace: a young girl named Meena ran a tiny tea stall. Her business was slow, not because her tea was bad, but because people didn't even notice her faded signboard. She wanted to paint a new one, but didn't have the money. Rather than borrow, she made a small decision: she would save a few coins every single day. Now, think about how easy it would have been for her to give up halfway? Or to borrow the money just like others told her to? But Meena stuck to her plan. She knew her pace was slow, but she trusted it. Eventually, she had enough to pay an artist to paint a bright, eye-catching sign. Customers started pouring in. Her stall buzzed with life, all because of consistent savings and values she never compromised. Consistency not only fuels success, it builds character. But what happens when consistency fails? Let's peek into one of the oldest Indian stories, the tale of the monkey and the crocodile, from the Panchatantra. A monkey lived in a tree and shared his fruits daily with a crocodile. Over time, they became friends. But the crocodile's wife didn't like this friendship and tricked her husband into inviting the monkey for a meal, with a plan to eat his heart. On the way, the crocodile revealed the trap. The monkey didn't panic. Calm and clever, he replied, 'Oh! I left my heart on the tree. Take me back.' The crocodile believed him, swam back, and the monkey quickly jumped to safety. The crocodile's inconsistent loyalty to his friend cost him everything. At the same time, the monkey's consistent calmness and presence of mind saved him. In all these stories, one common thread shines bright: the power of consistency. Whether it's a farmer digging daily, a crow dropping pebbles, or a girl saving coins, small steps repeated with discipline lead to big outcomes. Today, more than ever, we are surrounded by distractions. Social media, fast-paced trends, and the pressure to 'go viral' often make us believe that slow and steady is boring or outdated. But if you look closely, every masterpiece – a painting, a successful business, or a fulfilling career was built one stroke, one idea, one hour at a time. We don't need to be perfect. We just need to be consistent. So, whatever your goal: studies, health, sports, or art, ask yourself: What small thing can I do today that, if repeated, will change my future? Then do it. And tomorrow, do it again. That's how magic is made. Not with shortcuts but with steps. Not with speed but with steadiness. Consistency is not a loud drumbeat; it's the quiet rhythm of progress. Whether you're digging a dry well, saving coins, or facing challenges with calm wit, small efforts done daily can reshape your destiny. In a world full of fast fixes, it's the slow builders who create lasting legacies. Facebook Twitter Linkedin Email Disclaimer Views expressed above are the author's own.
