Ashlesha’s Sting and the Calm of Pushya

It’s a heavy morning today. The Moon is wading through the final degrees of Ashlesha, that sharp, serpent-like energy that makes everything feel a bit prickly and suspicious. You might feel like you’re walking on eggshells, or maybe you’re just itching to uncover a secret that’s better left alone. When the mind moves through Ashlesha, it’s rarely about peace. It’s about strategy and defense.

But look toward the horizon. Jupiter and Venus are holding court in the warm, nurturing embrace of Pushya. There’s the remedy, right there in the stars. Pushya is the nourishing star, the one that offers a steady hand when the ground feels shaky. It’s a perfect time to step back from the intensity of the Moon and focus on what actually feeds your soul.

I’ve been checking the VedKal timings to make sure I don’t miss the most supportive moments of the day. If you’re feeling the pressure of this transit, don’t push against the current. The Sun is in Mrigashira, searching for answers, while the Moon is winding down. It’s a day for quiet preparation, not big public declarations. Just breathe, let the serpent energy pass, and wait for the Moon to find its footing in Leo. Things won’t feel this frayed forever.
