Finding Stillness in the Heat of Cancer

The Sun’s currently sitting in Pushya, right alongside Jupiter. It’s a rare moment of genuine nourishment. We’re deep into the heart of summer, and the energy feels thick, almost like the heavy, humid air right before a monsoon storm hits.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the upcoming Varamahalakshmi Vrata. It’s a time to honor the goddess of abundance, but it isn't just about wealth. It’s about the soul’s capacity to sustain itself when things get tough.

With Saturn lingering in Revati, we’re all clearing out some pretty old baggage. I’ve noticed people feeling a bit stuck lately, like they’re waiting for a signal that won’t come. You shouldn’t force it.

Pushya nakshatra is the star of nourishment, and it’s reminding us that growth doesn’t always look like progress. Sometimes, it’s just the quiet work of putting down roots. I’ll be lighting a lamp this week and focusing on my own inner garden. You might want to do the same. Don’t rush the process; the timing is working itself out regardless of your anxieties.
