Reflecting on the Silence of Chaitra Navratri

The skies are busy this April. With Saturn and the Sun both resting in Pisces, there’s a heavy, introspective energy hanging in the air today.

We’re currently in the thick of Chaitra Navratri, the period that truly kicks off the Vedic new year. It isn't just about rituals or fasting. It’s about clearing the mental clutter that accumulated over the winter.

I’ve always loved this time. The weather is shifting, and there’s a quiet determination in people’s eyes as they commit to their disciplines. It’s a classic reset button for the soul.

My grandfather used to say that if you watch your speech during these nine days, you’ll hear what your inner voice has been trying to tell you all year. He was right.

Today, the Moon is in Scorpio, tucked away in Anuradha nakshatra. It’s a deep, sensitive placement. It demands we look at our own shadows without flinching.

Don’t rush through these days. Use your Vedkal app to check your muhurats, but don’t obsess over the clock. Sometimes, the most important work happens when you simply step back and observe your own reactions.

Are you keeping up with your sankalpa this Navratri? It’s okay if you’ve stumbled. Just begin again tomorrow. That’s the beauty of the cycle.
