Shadows before the light of Diwali
Diwali is creeping up on us, and I can feel the shift. It isn't just about the diyas or the sweets. It’s about the silence before the noise. People always talk about light, but they don't look at the darkness needed to make that light visible. Rahu loves this season. It’s when our past choices start acting up, demanding we face the debt we’ve ignored all year.
I spent yesterday cleaning out old boxes, finding things I thought I’d buried. That’s the real ritual. You scrub the dust off your space, but you’re really scrubbing the residue off your mind. Don’t rush the cleanup. If you’re checking your Choghadiya to pick the right moment for your puja, make sure your intention is actually clear first. Lighting a lamp in a messy mind doesn’t do much for your karma.
We’re all running around trying to impress the neighbors, but the real work happens when the lights go out. Take a moment to sit in the dark before you strike that first match. Ask yourself what you’re trying to burn away. It’s easier to hide from your shadows, but they’re always waiting for the next cycle.
Are you ready for what comes next?
