How do I process grief and loss?

Grief is one of the most universal human experiences, and divination traditions offer both explanation and comfort. Ba Zi examines whether the current Luck Pillar is activating a "Mourning" or "Funeral" element — some periods are cosmically designed for letting go. Western Astrology examines Saturn and Pluto transits — Pluto in particular governs death, transformation, and the grief process. Jyotish examines the 8th house (death and transformation) and the 12th house (loss and surrender) for grief timing. African TIAN offers ancestral wisdom on grief as a sacred process of transition, not just loss.
