Tonight’s New Moon (Amavasya)
This Amavasya belongs to Ma Varahi Tonight’s Amavasya marks the beginning of the sacred Varahi Gupta Navratri, making it one of the most spiritually powerful periods of the year. In the Vedic tradition, Amavasya is the ideal time to let go of what no longer serves you—old karma, limiting patterns, emotional burdens, and unresolved energies. As the Moon disappears from the sky, the mind naturally turns inward, creating a rare opportunity for reflection, healing, and spiritual growth. Amavasya…

Together in Cancer, this is Dharma-Atma Yog: identity and purpose moving in the same direction, in Jupiter’s…

Scattered mind? July 3-5 Rahu with Moon
Rahu + Moon = Scattered Energy + Innovative mind Next two days? Buckle up. The Moon is moving through Rahu’s territory right now — and staying there for the next 48 hours. Rahu doesn’t play by the rules. Rahu is maya, illusion, static in the signal. Rahu is that low hum of “something’s off” you can’t quite name. So if the next two days feel a little scattered, a little foggy, a little too-much-in-your-head — that’s not random. That’s the sky. But here’s the plot twist: Rahu is also the rebel…
