Bihar CM Oath Ceremony: Preparations are on for change of power in Bihar. The stir in state politics, meetings in the corridors of Delhi and administrative activities at Gandhi Maidan in Patna all indicate that the swearing in of the new government is likely to take place on November 20 at 11:30 am. The date of swearing-in usually seems like a formal announcement, but in Indian tradition it is considered a mirror of the coming five years of the state.
The importance of the auspicious time of taking oath is not only spiritual or symbolic. This reflects the environment in which the government begins its term. From the old royal courts of India to the modern democracy, the time of beginning of the kingdom has been chosen considering the date, day, constellation and position of the planets. There is no guarantee that the government will succeed or fail, but tradition believes that the calmer and more balanced the energy at the beginning, the less conflict the path ahead will have.
20 November 2025: What does the Panchang indicate?
Tomorrow i.e. Thursday will be the date of Amavasya of Krishna Paksha. In the scriptures, Thursday has been described as a symbol of policy, knowledge, governance and advice. According to the calendar, the time of swearing-in has been kept at 11:30, during which the Moon will transit in Scorpio.
The conjunction of 4 planets in Scorpio is giving big signs
On this day, among all the 12 zodiac signs, Scorpio is the only zodiac sign in which maximum activity is being seen. For many years, a conjunction of four planets has formed in Scorpio, which represents a rare astrological combination. On this day, there will be Anuradha Nakshatra, which is the constellation of Saturn. In politics, Saturn is considered a symbol of the public, this coincidence also indicates auspiciousness.
New government of Bihar, the path is not easy!
The special thing is that the deity of this constellation is Mitra Dev who is also called the god of harmony. This is an excellent coincidence for the alliance. There will be no problem in taking all the allies along. But one of its specialties is that Anuradha Nakshatra has the influence of both Saturn and Mars, due to which qualities like determined, stubborn and very ambitious are also seen. That is, in the coming times, things will be seen in the decisions of the government and the nature of the allies.
What will happen if you take oath on Thursday?
Taking oath on Thursday is considered auspicious in Indian tradition because the work of governance and policy is considered under Guru energy. Shukla Paksha is considered good for new beginnings. Moon being in Scorpio indicates speed in work. That means whatever decision the government takes, it will try to implement it immediately.
Is it right or wrong to choose Gandhi Maidan for swearing in?
Gandhi Maidan is a major public place of Patna. Big political events have been taking place here, hence its selection is natural administratively. In traditional beliefs, open grounds and large public spaces are considered auspicious because they symbolize the direct evidence of the public, widespread acceptance and the open flow of state energy.
History of ‘Nitish’ oath
Nitish Kumar is one of the few leaders of India who took oath several times and each oath opened a new chapter of politics. The change of regime in 2005 was a steady start, and the alliance remained intact throughout. In 2010, the oath taking ceremony took place at a relatively balanced time. The five-year tenure was completed without any major controversy. The transition of 2017 occurred during turbulent political times and the power equation changed within a year and a quarter.
These examples prove that in Bihar politics, the ‘beginning’ often decides the future direction, be it the planets, the public mood or the Centre-State equation.
What is the political signal of Modi, Nitish and NDA?
Thursday makes the role of the Center stronger. Nitish’s experience and PMO’s political strategy indicate stability in the initial months. There will be coordination within the NDA initially, but in the first 60-90 days, there may be slight tussle regarding ministries. Traditionally it is not considered a factor affecting long-term stability, but is considered part of the initial energy balance.
What will be the opposition?
The current movement of Rahu-Ketu does not allow the opposition to organize immediately. The position of the Moon also gives an initial edge to the ruling party at the time of oath taking. But it is also true that the political rise of the opposition may intensify again in the middle of 2026. This trend is not only of the planets but also of the political cycle.
2025-2030: What will be the direction of Bihar?
- 2025-26: Administrative speed, Centre-State coordination, policy reforms
- 2026-27: Some reshuffle in the cabinet
- 2027-29: A period of stability and big decisions
- 2030: Possibilities of change in the form of leadership and alliance
Overall, the moment of oath does not decide the fate of the state, but under the energy of which planet or constellation it begins, it definitely becomes the tune of the coming years.
