Getting ready for Sawan

It's mid-July, and the energy is shifting as we approach the holy month of Sawan. Looking at the current charts, with the Moon moving through Cancer and Jupiter sitting in Pushya, there's a heavy emphasis on emotional grounding and traditional ritual. I've always loved this time of year. It’s when the heat finally breaks, and the intensity of the summer transits feels a bit more manageable.

Many of my clients ask why we put such emphasis on these specific dates. It’s simple: timing is everything in Vedic astrology. Whether you’re planning a fast or starting a new meditation practice, aligning your intention with the lunar cycle—especially with the Moon finishing up in Ashlesha—really makes a difference.

Sawan is dedicated to Shiva, and the focus is on inner discipline. It’s not about flashy gestures. It’s about the quiet, consistent work of showing up for yourself when the planetary periods feel demanding. If you’re feeling the weight of Saturn in Pisces, use these coming weeks to declutter your schedule and focus on what’s actually sustainable. Don't overcomplicate your practice. Sometimes the simplest offering is the one that sticks.
