What the Moon in Bharani favors
Bharani holds two currents at once — Venusian vitality and Yama's law of endings. The Moon here favors transitions with real consequence: closing chapters, making commitments you can't easily undo, dealing with creation-or-destruction decisions (pregnancy, hiring, firing, funerals). Not a cruising day. Whatever you start here carries weight. Favorable for: vows, rites of passage, creative projects with fertility in them, hard conversations you've been avoiding. Less favorable for: frivolous purchases or casual promises. The mansion asks you to mean what you say.
