Planetary transits are transformative periods. These periods, though temporary, bring about drastic changes in our lives.
Various transits occur throughout the month. Transits overlap and thus, create a complicated mosaic of changes that’s often difficult to comprehend.

Transits can be both relaxing and stressful. The nature of transits vary and so do their effects on our mind and body. The subtle energies these transits send immensely transform us on mental and spiritual levels. Even the cells, the smallest unit of your body, are receptive to these changes and react according to these cosmic markers.
Wherever the planets jump during their transit, their sole purpose is to make us aware of our potential - both material and spiritual. Along with awakening our inherent potential, they give us a chance to understand the cosmic play that so heavily influences our lives.

Embracing Transits: A Journey of Self-Discovery ✨

We really believe that transits are like fireflies. Just like flashes of brief light, planetary transits give us an insight into our personal traits. Though for a brief moment, they shed light onto something - some dominant element that was there, but yet hidden from your eyes.
Be mindful of that moment and catch it! It's all about discovering who you are and navigating the toughest challenges.
Only adversity can forge you! 🔥
Transits are synonymous with personal growth. If you are open to them, they have so much to offer. In that confusing mesh of life, transits actually equip you with powerful tools to nick open the net and set yourself free of all the past limitations and hindrances.
Transits could be leaving you in lurch, but in the end, push you a step towards unveiling your real purpose. They make ‘self-discovery’ a plausible term. Though we may feel it happens by chance, transits actually plan this ultimate discovery by helping us observe our thoughts and nudging us to act in the right direction.
The shift is tremendous, but not before it has turned your world upside down. Be it relationships, career choices, or spiritual ascension, just like that glowing firefly, transits ground us, in the moment, trigger our potential, and enable us to become mindful of all that’s happening around us.
