Why do we fear the Ashlesha sting?

Look at the sky today. Mars and Jupiter are sitting together in Cancer, pressing hard into the final degrees of Ashlesha. It’s a heavy, psychic heat.

We talk about the Gandanta point like it’s a death sentence. But is it really?

Ashlesha is the serpent. It’s about shedding what we no longer need, but we’re so terrified of the poison that we cling to the dead skin. I see people constantly obsessing over their charts on Vyom, trying to figure out how to avoid the burn.

But what if the point of this transit isn't to bypass the discomfort?

What if the karmic debt of Rahu in Aquarius is forcing us to confront this collective anxiety instead of running from it? We’re all trying to detach, yet we’re gripping our past tighter than ever.

Are you fighting the transition, or are you letting the serpent coil around you so you can finally be done with the old version of yourself?

It’s time to stop looking for a way out and start looking at what you're actually terrified to lose.
