Amāvásyā
Amāvásyā // The dark moon Tuesday evening (6/28) lands in the constellation of Ardra (sidereal Gemini), the Star of Sorrow. We’re feeling the pressure and unravelling of the collective churning through us. The new moon flavors the energies of the month to come, which find their culmination in the full moon. This constellation, as much as it appears to be destructive, initiates the perfect storm to trigger evolutionary growth, which has the potential to bring about great change.
Many of us are feeling as if we’re on the verge of a big breakthrough and are feeling passionate about the idea of change. As much as this change is at our fingers tips, consider that things are developing at their own pace and know there’s no need to force or rush the process. Stay patient a little longer and allow yourself to be surprised by natures timeline and you will be delightedly satisfied with the results.

Pay attention and keep a broad perspective as you strike a fine balance between being determined and going along for the ride. Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rudra, the fierce form of Shiva, and is known for evoking pressure which is intended to forge one into who they’re truly meant to be and tends to release one from the weight of their decaying past, through stormy events. Know that these storms are usually short lived and don’t last very long. Whatever is coming up now is being purified and is cleaning you out for a fresh start - don’t cling to the past or touch what’s coming up now.
The more you can cultivate patience and a sense of being a witness to it all, the greater capacity you have to sail through these storms with ease and be rewarded with the renewal and fresh start that comes after the storm. Like a diamond in the rough, we’re being forged through the storms of transformation, so we can distill down and extract the wisdom needed to be truly available to what is and what is to become. Remember to leave time for play and to steep in the practices that ground you and allow you to rest in the quiet, silent awareness of your own being. ~ All My Relations

Rainer Maria Rilke // “Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything.”
