Moon Dasha: Unproductivity? Or Finally Feeling SOMETHING... For Once? 🌝

I don’t care if this sounds silly, but somewhere along the way, whimsy has been ruthlessly stripped from our lives.

Back when barter was the norm, everyone was a businessperson, self-sufficient, and part of a thriving community. Now, with most of the world tied to jobs, a sedentary lifestyle has become the default. For many, earning money is the only dream—but when asked what they want to do with it, they have no real answer. They want to invest, buy houses, get cars, chase prestige, which are all great things to have. Often, these desires have no real feelings attached to them. Wanting these things isn’t inherently the problem, but when achievement makes you feel nothing, it’s a sign that something deeper is missing within you—something that money alone can’t buy.

During your Moon Dasha, agitation takes over. Money starts to feel meaningless, and you’re forced to confront the raw reality of your emotions. If you pride yourself on ‘working like a machine’ (which, by the way, is called Martyr Complex—look it up), this period will shatter that illusion. You’ll realize just how moody you can be. Suddenly, you don’t feel like working. You feel sluggish, unmotivated, and disconnected from your responsibilities. Instead of structure, you become overly dependent on your emotions, letting them dictate your actions—or lack thereof.

When your emotions take full control, the consequences can be lasting. This overwhelming state can bring your progress to a halt—whether it’s losing a job due to lack of focus or watching your business stagnate. Even if you try to suppress your feelings and push through, they don’t just disappear. Instead, they build up, often erupting as emotional outbursts toward loved ones, catching you off guard.

Here’s the thing—having emotions is great. You are not a machine; you are a human. And if you think you're above emotions, you’re probably just fooling yourself and repressing them. That’s a whole other blog post on its own.

Saturn rules discipline, patience, and practicality—three essential qualities for getting things done. And the great news? You can balance both Saturn and the Moon. Feeling deeply and staying productive aren’t mutually exclusive.

The truth is, seeing productivity as non-emotional and emotions as non-productive is just a dualistic perspective. Any mindset that draws a hard line between the two—productive vs. emotional, spiritual vs. material—is rooted in duality. But the whole point of having emotions is to bring depth and mindfulness to everything you do. So that you don’t work mechanically, but instead, infuse your daily tasks with life.

It’s not your emotions that hinder your productivity—it’s your inability to integrate them into your daily life.

So, how do we honor our emotions while still getting things done?

We do it by bringing emotional depth and a touch of whimsy to your work—letting your feelings add richness instead of resistance, making every task feel more alive.

Reframing to be more present and cultivating a richer life is easier than you think. Remember how, as a child, colors looked brighter? That’s because small experiences felt deeper. Playing in the sand, watching a bird—these little moments mattered. You could imagine an entire life story for a tiny worm or a passing bird, effortlessly weaving meaning into the simplest things.

For example, instead of thinking, ‘My boss asked me to hire someone, so I have to do it’—which makes it feel like hard work—you can reframe it in a way that adds sweetness and whimsy. Try, ‘I can’t wait to get to know the candidates and see what I can learn from them,’ or, ‘I wonder how this hiring process will change someone’s life for the better.’

Now, imagine the candidate you choose going home, excitedly telling their family that they’re the first in their household to land a job like this. Even the ones you don’t hire might end up in roles that suit them far better.

Wholesome, spiritual, or emotional language shouldn’t just be a marketing tactic—it should first and foremost make you feel something. At first, this kind of reframing might feel out of character. And if you’re someone who regularly represses emotions, it might even feel jarring. But over time, you’ll adjust—and eventually, it will come naturally.

"This way, the feeling of ‘love and light’ becomes real—it doesn’t just feel like forced positivity. You actually feel the love and light within you. Instead of detaching from the world, you begin to feel deeply connected to it.

After all, the world is just you, experiencing yourself. Everyone is you, and you are everyone.

During Moon Dasha, your job might feel pointless, or you may feel like you're contributing nothing to the world. Sometimes, quitting and choosing a different path is exactly what you need. But if you do have your dream job and still feel this way, weaving deep, meaningful stories into your work helps you recognize its significance. It transforms routine tasks into something purposeful, making your role feel truly impactful.

Apart from this, fulfilling your emotional needs becomes extremely important. Give yourself everything you need—whether it’s rest, rejuvenation, a mini vacation, a spa day, or simply time to slow down and reconnect with yourself. Tending to your emotions isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity, especially during Moon Dasha.

Moon Dasha isn’t here to sabotage you—it’s here to make you feel again. Let your emotions color your work, your days, your smallest moments. Life was never meant to be a grayscale checklist anyway. 💁🏻‍♀️
