This year is named Vishvavasu. What does Vishvavasu mean? This word can be interpreted in a couple of ways. According to Kalpadruma, Vishvam Vasu Yasya Vishvavasu means 'He whose wealth is the entire world'. Also, Vishvesham Vasu Yasmaat Vishvavasu: is a Vachaspatya saying, meaning 'He from whom everyone derives wealth is Vishvavasu'. All of these refer to Vishnu. According to Kittel, it means 'Wealth of all' - everyone's wealth. Overall, the Vishvavasu year signifies wealth, a prosperous wealth for everyone's life.
The Vishvavasu year begins on a Sunday. The lord of the week on which the year begins becomes the king of that year. Therefore, this year's king is Surya (Sun). The lord of the week in which the solar transit occurs becomes the minister. Since the solar transit occurs on a Monday this year, the minister is Chandra (Moon). The king and minister usually determine the results of that year. Since the Sun and Moon are the eyes of the world, they will bring great fortune this year.
