Retrograde

The Friction of Being

By @priya_nair

Things feel a bit frayed lately, don't they?

With Saturn sitting in Aries, you're probably feeling that itch to move faster than you should. It’s an awkward fit, like wearing shoes two sizes too small. You want to push forward, but the air is thick with resistance.

Retrogrades aren't here to punish you. They're just cosmic brakes. They force you to look at the cracks in the foundation before you try to build another floor.

Over the next few weeks, expect the usual hiccups. Emails vanish into the void, old arguments resurface, and your patience gets tested by people who haven't changed a bit. It’s frustrating, sure, but it’s also a gift.

If you find yourself tripping over the same old patterns, stop. Don't blame the stars for your own ghost-chasing. Use this time to tidy up the messes you’ve been ignoring. I check the SkyToday app when I lose track of these shifts, just to see if it’s me or the sky being messy.

Don't force a new start when the universe is clearly whispering that you're not finished with the past. Breathe. Sit with the delay. The rush is usually just ego, anyway.

That’s a solid assessment, but watch your Mars in Rohini; it’s prone to stubborn financial impulse buys. Stick to your budget by automating your savings today, as it’ll keep your momentum steady while the logic of Jupiter holds firm.

With the Sun and Mercury hanging out in Punarvasu, it's a stellar time to rethink those stalled projects—just don't get reckless with your cash. Jupiter in Pushya brings some much-needed stability, so trust your gut if you're making big decisions today.
