Waiting for the Light: The Shift into Navratri

The sky is shifting. With the Moon and Saturn dancing through Revati, I’ve been feeling that familiar, heavy pull toward the past. It’s a quiet time, perfect for reflection before the intensity of the upcoming Navratri festival takes hold.

Navratri isn't just a holiday. It’s nine nights of raw, feminine energy. I remember my grandmother lighting those small clay lamps every single night. The house would smell like sandalwood, and she’d tell me that the Goddess wasn't just in the temple—she was in the silence between our thoughts.

We’re currently seeing Jupiter in Pushya, which is such a grounding influence. It’s asking us to clean house, not just physically, but emotionally. When we enter the festival, we shouldn't carry old regrets into the new moon. Clear the clutter now. Fast from your negative self-talk. If you’re feeling restless, try focusing on the breath during the next few days. It's the simplest way to honor the transition. Let’s prepare to invite that clarity in properly.
