Diwali Week Family Gatherings: Retrograde Shani tests Aquarius speech; follow light, kind dos
Speech needs extra care from Aquarius between 2 and 8 November. Shani, your ruling planet, remains retrograde in Pisces, your second house of family and speech. You are in the final phase of Sade Sati, and Shani in this house makes every sentence count. Festival get-togethers mean long dinners, old relatives and plenty of opinions. A careless joke, a comment about someone’s job or a remark on money could linger long after the lamps are put away.Shani in the Second Weighs Every WordThe second house governs speech, food and family bonds.
