Sharad Navratri Preparations

The skies are shifting as we approach the autumn season. With the Sun firmly in Leo and the Moon just entering Aries, the energy is sharp and initiative-driven. I'm already prepping for the upcoming Sharad Navratri. It’s a time when I put my charts aside for a moment to focus on the ritualistic side of the calendar.

Most people get hung up on the complex calculations of the tithi, but it’s really about the discipline. I’ve always found that the transition into the nine nights helps reset my mental focus after a busy summer. My family tradition involves a strict sattvic diet and a small lamp lit every evening to honor the feminine principle. It’s quiet, demanding work, but it cleans the slate.

Given the current position of Saturn in Revati, this Navratri feels like it’s asking for a real surrender of old habits. Don't push too hard during these first few days. Let the rhythm of the lunar phases do the heavy lifting for you instead of forcing your own timeline. It's the perfect window to prune what isn't serving your long-term goals. Get your space ready and keep things simple.
