This Week’s Panchanga: Spiritual Celebrations and Planetary Changes
This week is full of important festivals and changes in the stars that will affect our lives. We start with Vivah Panchami, which honors the beautiful wedding of Lord Rama and Goddess Sita. It’s a time for us to think about love, loyalty, and family harmony. Next, we celebrate Gita Jayanti, the day when Lord Krishna taught the Bhagavad Gita to Arjuna, sharing wisdom that helps us live well.
On the 7th of December, Mars will start going retrograde, a time when we should rethink our actions and desires. A few days later, on the 12th, Venus and Mars will face each other in the sky, creating tension between what we want and how we act.
