Sharad Navratri Approaches

The air is starting to shift. With the Sun firmly in Virgo and the Moon making its way through Scorpio, it’s that time of year when we prepare our homes for the Devi. Sharad Navratri is just around the corner, and I can already feel the cooling influence of Saturn in Revati. It’s a quiet, introspective season this time. We aren’t just celebrating; we’re cleaning out the mental clutter that’s built up over these past months. I’ve been checking my VedKal notes to make sure I don't miss the exact sunrise Tithi for the Ghatasthapana. It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of life, but this festival asks us to slow down and honor the feminine energy that sustains us. I’ve started gathering my offerings for the first morning. My ancestors always said that the way you begin the nine nights dictates the clarity you’ll have for the winter ahead. Don't let this chance to recalibrate slip by. Whether you're fasting or just lighting a simple lamp, be intentional with your silence this week.
