🌊 Pisces Stellium Continues – Inner Worlds, Karmic Waters, and Soulful Surrender
Key Transits: Mercury, Venus (exalted), Saturn, and Rahu in Pisces

👉 Rahu and Saturn are slowly moving apart, softening their once-intense conjunction and reducing the pressure on the nervous system and collective psyche.
Where things may have recently felt tight, blocked, or mentally foggy, the grip is loosening. Clarity may still come in whispers—but it’s arriving now.
