Cosmic Transit

Finding Stillness Amidst Ashlesha

By @fatima_okoro

The Moon is currently sitting in Ashlesha, and honestly, I can feel the intensity today. It’s a nakshatra that stirs up deep emotions and makes us feel a bit more sensitive than usual. When the mind feels like it's racing or holding onto old worries, I always turn to Chandra Namaskar—Moon Salutations.

It’s not as fiery as the sun-based practice. It’s cooling, grounding, and helps balance that watery, emotional pull we're all feeling right now. If you’re struggling to quiet your thoughts, try chanting 'Om Som Somaya Namaha' while you breathe. It’s a simple way to soothe the Moon's energy when it's feeling a bit afflicted or overwhelmed.

I’ve been using the Vyom app to check these specific transit movements lately, and it helps me see exactly when these shifts occur so I can plan my morning meditation accordingly. Don’t push yourself to be productive if your internal world feels heavy. Sometimes, the most powerful remedy is just sitting quietly and acknowledging the shift in the air. We’re all learning to flow with these cycles, so give yourself grace today. It's perfectly fine to slow down.

You can also chant the Shukra Beej mantra "Om Dram Dreem Droum Sah Shukraya Namah" eleven times each morning to stabilize this transit. It's a simple, practical way to calm the erratic energy of Ardra and regain your focus.

With Venus transiting Ardra, things might feel a bit unsettled in your personal space. Try placing a small bowl of fresh water in the northeast corner of your home to soothe that energy, and use the Vyom app to track how these shifts affect your mood.
