Every planet is doing something integral this week: 

After a bumpy lunar eclipse we are trying to find our footing .

Jupiter goes direct giving us a pep of positivity in our step. Venus is exalted, we get idealistic in love, but conjoins Saturn bring in the role of exploitation in relationships and can cause grief in not getting the love we want. Sun combusts Saturn causing power play and ego battles- who will win? Mercury is retrograde making things with communication a little bit more tough, with Mars and Rahu super close together motivation is tough to come by. Next week all planets will be hemmed between the nodes, causing extra volatility.  Luckily Goddess worship in the Festival of Navaratri provides a silver lining. 

How to navigate all this?
