A story of complete healing from the state of loss and stagnation
A year ago, a woman in her early sixties came to me, crushed by unimaginable grief. Within a span of months, she had lost her husband to a prolonged illness and then her only son in a car accident.
Life as she knew it had collapsed. She was stuck — unable to plan, unable to hope, questioning why fate had been so cruel.
When we first spoke, I made one thing clear:
- The loss of her loved ones was not a punishment written in her birth chart.
- Sometimes, tragic events unfold as part of a larger cosmic plan beyond our personal karmic patterns.
However, her ongoing paralysis — her deep emotional pain — did have astrological roots.
Astrological Insights and Remedies
Upon studying her birth chart, clear patterns emerged:
- The Moon was debilitated and in conjunction with Saturn in her 12th house — a combination often tied to isolation, depression, and overwhelming emotional burdens.
- Her 5th house — representing creativity, joy, and children — was weakened due to a retrograde Mercury.
This explained not only her grief but why she felt trapped in it.
Remedies I Suggested:
- Amethyst: To strengthen intuition and start the emotional cleansing process.
- Moonstone: To stabilize her mind and soothe emotional turbulence.
- Spiritual Practice: Chanting “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times daily and reading the Shiv Chalisa each day, connecting to Lord Shiva’s calming presence.
Yet, healing grief takes more than rituals. It requires action — a way to engage life again. Given Mercury’s retrograde effect in her 5th house, I encouraged her to:
- Focus on communication and creativity.
- Reconnect with an old passion or hobby she had once set aside.
In a later session, she quietly shared a dream she had buried for decades: She wanted to become a poet.
That was our breakthrough.
I encouraged her to channel her emotions into poetry — not for fame, but for healing.
The Year of Healing, Not Just Surviving
Within a year of her first consultation with me, her life transformed.
- She has now started publishing poems online, even receiving some small payments for her work.
- But more importantly, she has found herself again.
- Her grief no longer controls her; creativity does.
In her words:
“Astrology became like my late husband — a silent companion, a guide who never left my side when I needed it most.”
Her testimonial wasn’t about the money she earned, but the life she reclaimed.
Her Healing was a Culmination of both Faith and Effort
This journey is a reminder: Vedic astrology can serve like therapy. It offers not just insights but companionship through darkness.
But real healing always demands your faith, your effort, and your willingness to step toward light.
Grief and depression are deep and complex. Astrology alone won’t erase them. But it can hold your hand while you rebuild. Remember: your happiness is your responsibility. And when you take that first brave step, the universe — planets and stars — respond.
