New Moon in Revatī: The Wealthy Star

Amāvásyā

Art Deco by Carline Smith

The dark moon late tonight lands at the end of the zodiac, in the constellation of Revatī , the Wealthy Star. Revatī holds the energy contained within the gap, the source codes which usher the transition from one ending into a new beginning. This new moon marks the culmination of what many could frame as a year of uncertainty and instability and welcomes the astrological new year with the Sun and Moon in Sidereal Pisces. Some calculate and predict the year ahead from this point. With three major astrological shifts in April, accompanied by accelerated fertility, gesturing in the horizontal direction — this month holds the potential for long term growth.

You may be experiencing an increase in cabin pressure. Remember to put your oxygen mask on first before helping anyone else. The tipping point is approaching, you may feel as if you’ve been standing on edge, peering into your hopes, dreams and desires that are just out of reach — as your energy has been preoccupied elsewhere. Overwhelmed and frustrated that you’ve been distracted from your crystal clear vision. Consider trusting the process and perhaps leaning into the idea that whatever is occupying your time now, just may lead to nurturing and protecting the path you ultimately wish to walk.

Restrain from making impulsive decisions this month.  If you feel the need to rush into the shift that is at your fingertips, rush like a royal elephant — just one step at a time. Wait until the dust settles and eclipse season (4/30-5/15) has its way with you. We’re on the precipice of a global and personal paradigm shift. You won’t recognize yourself in a few weeks. Keep it simple, stay grounded, in your heart and brave enough to live your truth.

New Moon in Śatabhiṣā: The Veiling Star

:: Amāvásyā  ::

Artwork by Adrian Cox

The New Moon Wednesday morning (3/2) lands in the sidereal constellation of Śatabhiṣā (Aquarius), the Veiling star. This lunar mansion possesses a hundred stars, is symbolized by an empty circle, ambrosia, intoxication, mystical knowledge, isolation, philosophical thinking, and is ruled by Varuna, the god of the night sky and the cosmic and terrestrial waters.

Synchronicities are presenting themselves with full power now, the energies are intensifying and are accompanied with confronting decisions or perhaps the feeling that your next steps hold the potential to significantly impact the chapter that is about to unfold. We’re peering over the edge of great change, a prelude to major planetary shifts that are pregnant with a promise of increasing clarity, ease and softening and hold the potential for a global paradigm shift. The eighteen month transition of the lunar nodes (rahu/ketu) from Taurus/Scorpio (Sidereal) into Aries/Libra on March 16th initiates this change, followed by Jupiter into Pisces April 13th and Saturn into Aquarius April 28th.

The uncertainty and pressure that you’re being met with now is teaching you something deeper about yourself — who you are and where you ultimately want to go. You may be experiencing inner conflict at the moment and know that a door is opening if you’re willing to walk through it. This is a powerful time of new beginnings if you accept the initiation process.

Śatabhiṣā nakshatra has to do with cosmic law and contains within it the shakti or power to heal and support. The purpose of life is to live everything. All things that come have a purpose — all the difficulties, triggers and apparent loss in our lives are providing us with the precise medicine that we need to dissolve the ego, and fade back into the truth of our own being.

There’s a desire, a yearning within us all, to ultimately merge back with the creator, with nature, with our higher Self. The intention and spur that motivates our action at the root, is the same and the individuals journey that plays out is very different for us all. The mind is naturally motivated to move towards greater fields of happiness and the bottom line is, we revert back to what we know and what we’ve been taught — to work with what we have, where we are in the moment. For this reason, we cannot judge another’s journey and the tools they use to reach their destination. It is after all the god of the night that makes forms fade away, and when all forms fade away, only unity remains.

Perhaps the medicine lies in coming to terms with where you’re feeling stuck and remembering why you’re trying to achieve this goal in the first place. If it’s real, it can take the pressure, the bumps in the road — it can be tested. Commit like you’ve never committed before to that which is beckoning you forward. If you’ve been feeling insecure or second guessing a decision, ask yourself, if I didn’t take this action, would I regret it in the future? Heed the call.

We’re being encouraged to move through certain experiences so we can purify the ego, rectify our path and learn from the veil of confusion that has been fogging our ability to see things as they are. Steep in your practices which move you into right relationship with Self. Self sovereignty is needed now more then ever. Stay rooted within yourself, generate a vision of peace and be there for each other.

They say all who rise, eventually converge — and that grand convergence is happening now. Keep going.

Terence McKenna // “Nature loves courage. You make the commitment and nature will respond to that commitment by removing impossible obstacles. Dream the impossible dream and the world will not grind you under, it will lift you up. This is the trick. This is what all these teachers and philosophers who really counted, who really touched the alchemical gold, this is what they understood. This is the shamanic dance in the waterfall. This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering it's a feather bed.”

New Moon in Purva Ashadha: The Invincible star

Amāvásyā

Our new year begins with a dark moon Sunday morning in the constellation of Purva Ashadha, the Invincible Star. This constellation is ruled by the water goddess, Apah. Besides the life giving and nurturing qualities of water, this lunar mansion is also associated with the purification of impurities and disease. This renewal brings about rejuvenation, which sustains, energizes and encourages growth. What poisons in your life need to be transmuted into a healing experience?

We are currently under the influence of Kala Sarpa yoga, where all the planets reside between Rahu (north node) and Ketu (south). This can feel unsettling, as if you’re closed in by circumstances. Have you noticed that pattern which circles around when something goes wrong or there’s a misstep? Through awareness and the confrontation with one’s shadow, purification and progress become possible.

The dark moon is conjunct Venus Retrograde who has stepped down from evening star and journeyed behind the Sun. We are walking through a rite of passage around seeing ourselves in relationship to healing old shadows and wounds. Stay present to what’s coming up for you around personal boundaries, beliefs, money, trauma in relationship and past lessons or people that are circling around. It is a time to look deeper into the self. What is being reflected back to you about your own personal beliefs through the mirror of the other? Track a little deeper this time.

Perhaps in one area or another you may find yourself in a situation where there was a misstep around a relationship with another and it’s time to excavate deeper into the part you’ve played in this story. Be the one responsible and willing to take steps towards rectifying the situation and move forward. 

Tend to the evolution of your consciousness, be willing to cleanse and shed that which is distracting you from your purpose, and step fully into your authenticity. Stay curious to what nature is attempting to teach you through the lens of that which you prefer to resist. Our responsibility is to do the inner work and then step up and contribute where we can. Have the courage to do the hard things and you will surprise yourself.

Now is not the time to contribute to that which creates separation — it’s time to see beyond our differences and come together with our tribe. Remember that everyone is doing their best. We’re not healed nor free until everyone is healed and free. Loving you all dearly and wishing you a magnificent New Year!! Many Blessings ~ All my relations
