Holi, celebrated this year on March 4 and Holika Dahan in the evening of March 3, is known as the Festival of Colors.
Rooted in Hindu culture, it commemorates the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and faith over fear, inspired by the story of Prahlad and the defeat of Holika. Beyond its energetic powders and festive gatherings, Holi marks the arrival of spring and the renewal that comes after hardship. It’s a reminder that no matter how long the dark season lasts, the light always returns, and when it does, it comes boldly, beautifully, and unapologetically.
Here’s how every birth month rises in that light this Holi:
