Cosmic Energy

According to the sidereal zodiac, this week moves from Ashlesha (the serpent's coiled wisdom) toward Swati (the independent wind) as the Moon wanes to New Moon on Sunday. With Mercury and Venus both moving backward through Libra, this is a week of inward recalibration around relationships and values, culminating in a fresh start energy.

Career & Finances

Mercury's backward motion in Libra asks for patience with contracts, negotiations, and communication at work this week. Avoid finalizing major agreements if possible; instead, revisit old proposals or pending decisions. Jupiter sitting near Ketu in Leo suggests quiet, behind-the-scenes progress matters more than visible recognition right now.

Relationships & Personal

Venus moving backward from Libra into late Virgo by midweek brings reflection to partnerships, nudging you to reconsider what truly feels balanced and fair. Conversations may surface unfinished emotional business, especially around Wednesday. The New Moon in Swati on Sunday favors honest, gentle dialogue over grand gestures.

Health & Wellbeing

Mars continuing through Cancer keeps emotional sensitivity high, so stay mindful of stress settling into the stomach or chest area. Gentle, grounding routines serve you better than intense exertion this week, particularly as the waning Moon moves toward its darkest phase.

Remedy

Lighting a small ghee lamp on Sunday evening can honor the New Moon's fresh beginning and ease any heaviness from the week's retrograde energies. Spending quiet time journaling about relationship patterns may also help Venus's backward journey feel less confusing.
