Finding Calm When the Moon Feels Heavy

It’s late March 2026, and the Moon is sitting in Leo right now. If you’ve been feeling a bit drained or snappy with your family lately, you aren’t alone. The Moon is being pulled toward Ketu in Leo, which often brings up old, buried frustrations that we haven’t quite let go of yet.

I once sat with a client who felt like her home was a pressure cooker; she was trying so hard to keep everyone happy that she forgot to breathe herself. When the Moon transits through this space, it’s not the time to force big conversations. Instead, it’s a time to retreat a little.

Here’s a simple, grounded remedy for you. Since the Moon is in Purva Phalguni, focus on rest and gentle self-care today. Take a small bowl of water and add a drop of rose oil or just a few petals if you have them. Keep it in your living room for a few hours. It’s a small, quiet way to soothe the energy in your home.

I personally use the Choghadiya timings on the Vedkal app to pick the best moment to sit and drink a cup of tea by myself. It’s not about being perfect. It’s just about carving out five minutes where you don’t have to nurture anyone but you. Let the Leo intensity pass—you’ll feel much lighter once the Moon moves on.
