Finding Calm Before Chaitra Navratri

It’s that time of year again. The air feels heavy, doesn't it? With the Moon moving through Leo and Ketu nearby, I know a lot of you are feeling that internal pull to retreat and quiet the noise. I’ve been feeling it too.

As we approach Chaitra Navratri, the energy is shifting toward deep introspection. My client, Anjali, called me yesterday feeling completely overwhelmed by her home life. I told her it’s perfectly natural. We have Saturn sitting in Pisces right now, asking us to shed what no longer serves our emotional peace before the new year celebrations begin.

I always try to simplify things during this phase. I don’t overcomplicate my rituals. When I light my lamp in the morning, I just focus on gratitude for the little things. If you’re struggling to keep track of your timing for prayers or daily tasks, I find the Choghadiya feature on Vedkal really helpful to stay grounded without getting lost in the details.

Are you ready for the festivities? Take it slow this week. Let yourself breathe before the demands of the upcoming celebrations start to fill your schedule.
