Sharad Navratri: Walking the Shadow Line

The air’s turning crisp. It’s almost time for Sharad Navratri, that strange period when the veil between our past karma and our present self gets paper-thin. With the Moon and Rahu huddled together in Dhanishta, our minds feel erratic, buzzing with things we thought we’d buried years ago.

I don’t like to sugarcoat these transitions. Navratri isn’t just about festivals and bright lights; it’s about acknowledging the ghosts that still live in our bones. Ketu in Magha is pulling us toward our ancestors, forcing us to look at the patterns we inherited but never asked for.

I spent the morning checking the dates on VedKal just to make sure I’m ready for the shift. It’s quiet work, really. While everyone else is busy planning the celebrations, I’m sitting in the dark, watching how these transits move the pieces on the board.

Don’t rush this season. If you’re feeling heavy, it’s just the weight of your own history catching up to you. Sit with it. Let the nine nights do what they’re meant to do—burn off the excess so you can finally see what’s actually yours and what’s just noise.
