Cosmic Energy
According to the sidereal zodiac, this week builds toward a New Moon in Purva Phalguni (the creative, relaxation-loving nakshatra) on Friday, conjunct Sun and Ketu in Leo. This is a natural inward turn before renewal. Moon's passage through Ashlesha (the serpent nakshatra) mid-week adds emotional intensity before the reset.
Career & Finances
Mercury's move into Virgo, its own sign, sharpens communication and analytical work from mid-week onward. This is favorable for detail-oriented tasks, editing, and financial review. The Leo New Moon suggests a quiet moment to set fresh intentions around leadership or recognition rather than pushing hard for results.
Relationships & Personal
Venus continues steadily through Libra, its own sign, favoring diplomacy, beauty, and balanced partnerships all week. Conversations flow easier as harmony is emphasized over conflict. The New Moon in Leo may stir a desire for warmth and appreciation from loved ones, so offering genuine affection helps.
Health & Wellbeing
Moon's transit through Ashlesha and conjunction with Ketu near the New Moon can bring heightened sensitivity or restlessness. Saturn's continued backward motion in Pisces suggests old fatigue patterns may resurface; gentle pacing and rest support steadiness through the week.
Remedy
Lighting a small lamp near sunset on New Moon day can honor the quiet turning point and invite gentle renewal. Spending a few minutes journaling feelings that arise mid-week may help ease Ashlesha's emotional undercurrents.
This week's New Moon in Leo, shadowed by Ketu, invites release rather than striving—an honoring of what's ending so something truer can begin from stillness.
