Navratri fills nearly every day of this week, and Aries finds welcome relief in it. Shani, retrograde in Pisces, your twelfth house, is moving slowly enough to slow the flow of money out of your account. This is still the first leg of Sade Sati, though, so caution stays sensible. On Saturday, Saptami brings Maa Kalaratri, a form of the goddess closely tied to Shani.
Retrograde Shani Slows the Outflow
The twelfth house drains money through travel and gifts. With Shani in reverse, that drain runs slower than in recent months. A bill you dreaded may turn out smaller, or a payment date may shift in your favour.Use the gap to clear one small debt and build a cushion.Rest remains part of the cure. Sleep is the twelfth house’s other concern, so keep nights early during the festival.
Why Big Investments Should Wait
Midweek, a debilitated Moon crosses Scorpio, your eighth house of sudden losses. Decisions made in those days can be coloured by worry.And Mercury halts and reverses on 24 October, while Venus is already moving backwards in your seventh. Property, gold or a new business stake can wait until November. Keep surplus money in a simple deposit for now.
Kalaratri Puja on Saturday
Saptami falls on Saturday, Shani’s weekday. Maa Kalaratri, dark-skinned and riding a donkey, destroys fear and darkness. Tradition links her with Shani, which makes her worship on Shani’s own day especially fitting for anyone in Sade Sati.Offer jaggery, her customary prasad, and light a mustard oil diya before her.On the same day, the Sun enters Libra, your seventh, and turns debilitated. Keep the evening calm with your partner.
Your Ruler and the Home
Mars, your ruler, remains weak in Cancer, your fourth, while exalted Jupiter beside it steadies the family. Durga Ashtami on Sunday is a good day to stay home and share the puja.
