Why does everything feel so slow during the current planetary transits?

Why does everything feel so slow during the current planetary transits? It’s May 2026, and with Saturn lingering in Pisces while the Sun and Mercury settle into Taurus, I’m seeing a lot of frustration. People are looking for quick wins, but the energy right now just doesn't support that.

In Chinese numerology, we look for 8 for prosperity or 9 for longevity, but right now, the numbers feel more like a grounding 4. It’s the energy of structure, not speed.

I’ve been checking the Panchang on VedKal to see how these dates align with upcoming cultural observances. It’s interesting, because even though we focus on solar cycles, this slow-moving energy reminds me of the stillness before a major festival. It’s not a time to push. It’s a time to audit your foundation.

This might sound backwards, but if you feel stuck, stop trying to force movement. That’s just wasting your 8s and 6s on a cycle that demands patience.

Because the Moon is currently in Aries, there’s this internal itch to just run at the wall. Don't. Take a breath. Use this time to refine your name calculations or check your personal year number. If you’re really struggling to find your rhythm, I usually suggest mapping these transits against your own chart on Vyom. It stops you from guessing where the friction is coming from.

But honestly? Just sit with the Taurus energy for a while. It’s not going anywhere, and neither are you.
