The aftermath of the powerful Aries New Moon on April 27 continues to ripple into this week, urging integration, renewal, and clarity of purpose. Mars remains debilitated in Cancer, keeping our energy tender and emotionally driven, while the Pisces stellium (Mercury, exalted Venus, Saturn, and Rahu) continues to saturate the collective field with mysticism, dreams, and karmic dissolution.

🪐 Saturn Enters Uttara Bhadrapada – Maturity Meets Mysticism
Transit note: Saturn moves into Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra this week, bringing a change in tone for how this planet expresses its energy.
What It Means When a Planet Changes Nakshatra:
In Vedic astrology, each zodiac sign is divided into nakshatras—lunar constellations that act like subtle energetic filters. When a planet changes nakshatra, it’s as if it remains in the same room (sign), but the lighting, mood, and purpose shift. This affects how the planet’s energy is expressed—not just in the sky, but in our lives.
