Right now, the skies are pushing us toward a slower rhythm. With Saturn in Pisces and Jupiter in Cancer, there’s a heavy emphasis on revisiting what’s unfinished before we can move forward. It’s not the time to force new projects or sign major contracts without triple-checking the fine print.

I’ve seen this energy play out—misplaced emails, technical glitches, or suddenly hearing from someone you haven’t spoken to in ages. Don’t panic when things hit a wall. Instead of getting frustrated by delays, use this window to clean up your digital life or organize those files you’ve been ignoring for months.

If you're feeling scattered, stick to a routine. Keep your schedule light and prioritize rest. If you need a grounding practice, chanting the Bija mantra for the Sun or wearing a bit of yellow sapphire can help stabilize your focus during these shifting currents.

We aren’t meant to sprint all year. Treat this month as an audit period. If a deal feels stuck, let it be. Usually, by the time the planets shift gears again, you’ll be glad you didn’t push so hard. Take a breath, finish what you started, and stop fighting the current.

The Moon is resting in Krittika right now, so it’s time to burn away the dead wood you’ve been carrying. Don't fear the fire; it's just stripping back your ego to reveal what’s actually worth keeping.
