🌕Full Moon Aries ~ Ashwini - 25/26 Oct

A fresh emotional cycle emerges after psycho-emotional storms clear weak structures in the psyche. This full moon could be illuminating the unavoidable truth about your partnership patterns and the value you ascribe to certain people, finances, and you own sense of self worth.

This moon activates swift healing, new beginnings, a new cycle, culmination of the past, severing ties and attachments and moving forward.

As I write this, the moon is in Pisces, with Saturn and will cross the gandanta bridge before moving to Aries. This indicates atmospheric turbulence (since Jupiter is in the Cancer Gandanta as well - BIG Water Energy). Saturn with the Moon indicates emotional tension or pressure - discipline that you might be avoiding. Do the hard things now. Enjoy the good things later, the taste is sweeter.

New Moon Virgo - Hasta Nakshatra - The power to place what one desires into their hands

This new moon in Virgo cycle highlights the practicalities of life, our routines and habits which become our destiny and fate.

Relationships of all kinds are tested this month as Venus is retrograding through it's own sign, alongside Mercury, which will also turn retrograde from the 24th. Reciprocity, harmony and balance are key themes arising now - issues that have been swept under the rug for too long are re - emerging now to be addressed - it cannot be ignored any longer.

While Venus is about love and relationships, on a deeper level connects us to our core values which were shaped in childhood. What we believe about ourselves and how that shapes where and who we put energy and time towards.

Is it time to cut some cords, set some boundaries and truly start living in alignment with your soul?

Sometimes conflict is necessary for course correction!

This new moon is also Shraddha - a powerful time in the Vedic Calendar where the Pitris - our forefathers descend to earth to give and receive blessings. In this Amavasya phase, remember your ancestors, honour them, or perform Tarpanam

27/28 August Full Moon - Partial Lunar Eclipse - Aquarius. Shatabhishak - The star of healing

Remember that eclipses trigger latent tendencies with us. You could be awakening to a deeper sense of purpose and aliveness in your life now. You could be realising how certain relationships or belief systems are keeping you small, or how you shrink yourself to make other people comfortable.

The Aquarius - Leo axis is one of shadow and light - Shatabhishak is a healing nakshatra, but only when we embrace our shadows and understand what we are avoiding, where we are allowing external ‘shadows’ to diminish our light, where we are betraying ourselves and calling it loyalty?

Eclipses bring many changes - some of these can be profound, and much needed shifts in our perception, so have courage, know your shadow and keep moving towards the light .

🌙 New Moon - Gemini / Punarvasu - Return of the Light

The Moon in Gemini is joined by retrograde mercury meaning the mind, intellect, thoughts and emotions may feel particularly scattered, excited, busy, foggy, bright - all at once! This in an energetic, social and busy time, so be aware of your moods and feelings at this time.

Use the dark moon energy to ground yourself deeply into your body and breath. A great time to release the past lunar month, this lunar cycle is an invitation to return to the light of dharma, knowledge and wisdom - Mercury tends to focus on details and can easily lose the forest for the trees - It is a time to maintain perspectives, in the midst of the mundane.

Punarvasu means return of the light.

Ruled by Jupiter which is currently exalted, this is a healing moon - In cancer, Jupiter brings wisdom and understanding to any emotional wounds or protective shields that we may be carrying.

Aditi is the governing deity for this star, indicating a creative, expansive and nourishing moment in time.

We can tune into the cosmic mother here, to understand what it means to hold and nurture ourselves, to expand our perspective beyond the intellect and into the vastness of space and the greater field of non dual reality ✨

This full moon occurs the same day that mercury stations to go retrograde! I would say it will be energetically complex, charged and potent, so double check your travel plans, and try avoid booking on that day if you can!

This full moon falls in Sagittarius, in the nakshatra Purva Ashadha. It is the only sign with a weapon - the philosopher, the archer, the spiritual warrior and seeker of truth.

This Purnima will be especially potent, emotionally transformative, healing and deeply revealing - especially for Sagittarians. The mother, wound and wisdom may be especially activated now. Our most sensitive or unexplored parts of our minds and psyche may be touched on, exposed or revealed.

🌑17 April- New Moon Aries - Ashwini Nakshatra
🪷Shakti: The power to ‘reach things quickly’

Ashwini is the first nakshatra of Aries, ruled by the twin horse headed sons of Surya - The Ashwin Kumaras. They are the divine physicians, bestowed with knowledge of herbs, medicine and the ability to heal illness swiftly, Ashwini thus indicates a cycle of healing, swift movement and new beginnings.
Be aware that the day before, the moon will be crossing the notorious gandanta knot, a place of karmic entanglements and unwinding. A dark moon is Amavasya - there is no light, so its best to be aware that not much needs to be accomplished. Let the mind go, and wait until the moon passes to the other side of the Sun, to make important decisions

🌑March 19: New Moon Pisces - Uttara Bhadrapada

This Pisces new moon combines with Sun, Saturn and Venus - a total of 4 plants are in the last sign of the zodiac. The moon with Saturn is serious, grounded, sombre, yet stabilising, if we can work with Saturn’s fearful rigidity - with Venus, the Moon wants to be romantic, sweet and dreamy - however those nagging responsibilities gnaw away at your foot. With the Sun - the moon disspears, is devoid of light. This is a comsic pause, a time where the dreamtime speaks loud, ancestors dance and the veil between worlds is thin
