Full Moon in Uttara Bhādrapadā: The Warrior Star

Pūrṇimā

Today’s full moon is in the constellation of Uttara Bhadrapada (sidereal Pisces), the Warrior Star. This bright moon initiates the sacred fortnight of our ancestors called Pitru Paksha and falls just days before the Autumn Equinox. As the days grow shorter, it is said that the veil between this world and the next begins to grow thin and life, death and rebirth are to be celebrated.

This lunar mansion is symbolized by the back of a funeral cot and is connected to fertility of both earth and sky, excavating the unconscious, harmonizing universal mind, wisdom gained through experience, humility, self sacrifice and a compassionate heart. This is a powerful and activated full moon for transformation, connecting with those who have moved beyond and to cultivate a firm foundation in life.

The astrological weather has been quite turbulent as of late. You may feel the pressure continuing to build and as if delays continue to confront forward movement. The current energies are requesting that you loosen your grip and surrender to the process instead of giving up all together or trying to push your agenda. Do your best to stay grounded during this full moon — extra yoga and meditation will be helpful. Know that things will unfold in their own time. Stay neutral and away from diving into political, religious and potentially heated conversations, as this is not the time to be divided or create enemies. ‘Not my monkey, not my circus.

Rilke // “I believe in all that has never yet been spoken. I want to free what waits within me so that what no one has dared to wish for may for once spring clear without my contriving. 

If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say. May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children.

Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has, streaming through widening channels into the open sea."

New Moon in Pūrva Phalgunī: The Fruit of the Tree

Monday’s new moon will be in the constellation of Pūrva Phalgunī (sidereal Leo), The Fruit of the Tree. The dark moon initiates the theme for the month to come and flavors our experiences. The energy is lively and ripe for cultivating creative pursuits, bringing momentum towards set goals, and merging practicality and function with enjoyment. As I mentioned last month, this new found breath of fresh air and openness has an expiration date — it’s time to get things in order, set into action and completed before the tides shift — use the next ten days wisely.

As if we’re in the eye of the storm, a great shift and disruption of sorts is around the corner. Sometimes in order to establish truth and order, disorder needs to be shaken. Pūrva Phalgunī reminds us that complex problems can be solved in a relaxed mood and that ultimately the practice of yoga teaches us how to be at ease in the presence of the unknown. The deeper you go, the more you tend to the stillness within, the more dynamic and effortless your activity becomes.

This lunar mansion relates to enjoying the comforts of life, creativity, rest, renewal, fertility, the need to express oneself, is symbolized by a swinging hammock and holds the theme of blindness. Things may not be what they seem — stay curious. Drop your stories, dissolve the veils and turn your awareness inside. 

We must be steady, and unshaken by the small and big things. Allow, embrace and surrender to the cultivation of stabilizing your awareness and capacity to be at ease with whatever comes. As we move out of the calm, your task is to be constant in your practice of tending to your connection with divinity, with the unchanging that lies within… reminding yourself again and again to BE… to be the silent witness… to rest in pure being amidst all the dismantling. Trust in the process and stay connected to your heart.

Ground yourself, strip yourself down, 

To blind loving silence.

Stay there, until you see

You are gazing at the Light

With its own ageless eyes

Full Moon in Aquarius: The Star of Symphony

Pūrṇimā

The full moon culminates early Sunday morning within the constellation of Dhanishtha (sidereal Aquarius), the Star of Symphony. This bright moon brings with it a sense of optimism, positivity and expansion, as it’s accompanied by Jupiter. Dhanishtha bears the gifts of immaculate timing, receptivity, and rhythm which is ripe for socializing and creating music. Be open to new opportunities and the potential for manifesting your intentions.

You may feel as if everything is being dismantled and rearranged — know that you’re not alone. We’re at the balancing point between maintenance and destruction — when all that has become stale or stagnant is no longer needed and begins to unravel. Will you choose to tighten your grip or allow Nature to take her course?

If we can learn to let go of our own personal ego and and work selflessly, then we can harness the power of this constellation — which brings with it a promise of great wealth and success. Just like the drum, if we can empty ourselves, and become a hallow bone, a conduit for Source, then the rhythms of the universe can flow through us more effortlessly. Trust as you step into your receptivity and practice being at ease in the presence of the Unknown. Where can you become softer and more surrendered in your life? and where can you commit more fully?
