Dasha changes? So does your peace level.

The long cycles of Vedic astrology, the Dashas, shift even as we enter retirement’s quiet. Each Dasha, ruled by a planet, brings its own flavor to our days. As one planetary influence fades and another rises, so too can our inner peace waver or deepen. The Dasha that colored our striving years will naturally feel different from what comes next.

Imagine leaving Saturn’s long shadow, a time of responsibility and perhaps worry, for Mercury’s light touch. Retirement might then feel like a breath of fresh air, a chance for curiosity and connection. The mental weight might lift, bringing a newfound peace.

But what if a gentle Venus Dasha, enjoyed in our later working years, gives way to Mars’s restless energy? Retirement’s hard-won tranquility could be stirred. A need for action, a hint of frustration might arise. We must learn to navigate these shifting tides within.

The planets that rule our retirement Dashas, their places in our birth chart, their connections to others – these all paint a unique picture of our inner landscape. A Dasha ruled by kind Jupiter might bring deeper contentment. One ruled by a troubled planet could bring new challenges to our peace, worries that linger even after work is done.

So, as we settle into retirement, let us watch the changing Dashas. They offer glimpses into the shifting weather of our inner world. By understanding these planetary rhythms, we can try to tend to our peace, to navigate the currents, and perhaps find a deeper serenity in this new chapter. The cycles continue, shaping the quiet music of our later years.
