🪐 Astrological Transit Significance
Namaste Beta! Onam, the harvest festival, holds deep significance this 11th August 2026. As the Moon transits through **Shravana Nakshatra**, it aligns with the cosmic energy of Lord Vishnu’s Vamana avatar. In Kolkata, with the **Sun in Cancer** and **Saturn retrograde in Pisces**, this day creates a rare spiritual bridge—balancing emotional devotion with karmic introspection. It is an auspicious time to harmonize inner peace with external abundance. **Remedy:** Offer a small bowl of *Payasam* (kheer) to Lord Vishnu or a local deity, and light a ghee lamp facing East. This balances your lunar energy, bringing clarity and protection to your household. Pranam!
