Guru Purnima 2025 will be celebrated on 10th July, a day traditionally dedicated to honouring Jupiter (Guru or Brihaspati), the planet of wisdom, truth, and spiritual growth. For centuries, people have looked to Jupiter as the cosmic teacher, guiding seekers on the path of dharma (righteous living) and self-realisation.
But in today’s fast-changing world, another cosmic force is rising in influence, Rahu. According to a recent feature in TOI (Times of India), many astrologers believe Rahu’s energy is shaping the spiritual journey of the modern age, making it the “new age guru” of 2025.
What Makes Jupiter the Traditional Guru?
Jupiter has long been considered the planet of knowledge, discipline, and spiritual guidance. On Guru Purnima, devotees perform pujas, chant mantras, and seek blessings to grow in wisdom and righteousness.
Jupiter’s influence is steady, ethical, and expansive. It encourages you to stick to the right path, study ancient scriptures, and build a spiritual life slowly and steadily. This has made Jupiter the main focus of Guru Purnima celebrations for generations.
Why Rahu Is Gaining Power in the Modern Age
Unlike Jupiter, Rahu is known as the shadow planet, a force that brings change, disruption, and unexpected growth. As per TOI, Rahu is becoming increasingly relevant in today’s world of technology, AI, rapid lifestyle changes, and global uncertainty.
Rahu teaches you through experience. It forces you to face fears, break boundaries, and think outside the box. While Jupiter offers a path of light, Rahu guides through shadow, pushing people to evolve by challenging their comfort zones.
Rahu’s Spiritual Role on Guru Purnima 2025
In 2025, Guru Purnima falls under strong astrological conditions that amplify Rahu’s energy, making it an ideal time to recognise Rahu as a teacher. While Jupiter brings peace and structure, Rahu brings transformation through chaos and challenge.
TOI reports that more seekers are acknowledging this shift. People are starting to view Rahu’s difficult lessons as essential for modern spiritual growth, especially in a time when change is constant and fast.
Jupiter and Rahu: Not Opposites but Complements
It’s not about replacing Jupiter with Rahu. In fact, the two planets represent different styles of learning. Jupiter is the wise teacher who shows the right path, while Rahu is the intense coach who forces you to evolve quickly, even painfully.

Why This Shift Matters in 2025
According to TOI astrologers, Guru Purnima 2025 marks a turning point. Jupiter continues to offer timeless wisdom, but Rahu is pushing people to grow through transformation, technology, and personal breakthroughs.

Honouring Both Gurus
