New Moon in Māgha: The Star of Power

The dark moon early Saturday morning lands in the constellation of Māgha (sidereal Leo), the Star of Power. This royal nakshatra relates to our Ancestors, fulfilling one’s duties, magic and the celestial throne.

This is a time to remember our ancestors and reflect on our interdependency with all things — to shine light on our inherited habits, cycles and reactions as well as the legacy we’re leaving behind with the imprint of our thoughts, speech and actions — whether conscious or unconscious.

There is intergenerational work to be had during this window. For some of you, this may look like a baptism by fire that is requesting you to take a deeper look into healing your ancestral line. We’re being requested to take personal responsibility for the cycles and habits that may have been left on repeat. Have the courage to utilize this window wisely.

As the veil thins, are you able to track where are you being confronted with familiar lessons and perhaps inherited habits that are no longer assisting your momentum forward? Take personal responsibility for embodying and putting into practice the wisdom you’ve been cultivating that has now circled around front and center.

Place extra attention on staying rested and grounded during this time. Lead with your whole heart and know that a physical practice (holding the hard poses) will be of great service in assisting this process. Use these next couple weeks to set your plans into motion, as there’s extra emphasis for accomplishment on the material plane while the moon waxes.

Eknath Eswaran // “What would your life look like if you had the energy of the sun? The radiance of the stars? Love as infinite as the oceans? What if you had perfect health? Radiant Beauty? Strength in body and a mind of brilliance that always served you, and never erred? This is the promise of the Vedas: A wellness that draws out “the splendor of the personality that expresses itself in love, courage, creativity, and a melting tenderness that draws all hearts.”

The full moon Thursday evening (8/11) lands in the constellation of Dhanishtha (sidereal Capricorn), the Star of Symphony.

Patiently awaiting forward movement? This bright moon marks a window of time that is ripe for manifestation, fine tuning your confidence and grounding into your beliefs. How can you be more clear in your convictions, while striking a delicate balance between tenderness and crystal clear boundaries?

Tension, chaos, resistance and conflict — we’ve been reviewing, course correcting, and patiently clearing the way for a new chapter to begin. A different tune plays now, the rhythm has increased and the pace is moving you towards that vision which has been calling your heart forward.

As you began to stabilize new found realizations and step closer into right relationship with Self — Notice, have you become overly confident in sharing your beliefs or perhaps more timid? With the emergence and stabilization of deeper found clarity, you may have been sending someone mixed messages in your convictions. Depending on where the full moon lands in your chart, in some area of your life or another, you may not be standing in full aliment with your beliefs.

This chaos is as ancient as the story woven by your ancestors and is an integral part of your evolutionary journey. How can you respond to the dream in a different way than before? All outside conflict must first be resolved within. Lean into the grace of that which you do not prefer and attune more fully with your souls rhythm. Get clear in who you are, what you will and will not tolerate, and bring your truth out into the world from a grounded and clear place  — be decisive, choose a direction, and work selflessly.

Just like the drum, the symbol of this affluent lunar mansion, when we become a conduit for Source, when we can become like a hallow bone, the rhythms of the universe can flow through us more effortlessly. Step into your receptivity and trust in the presence of the Unknown.

New Moon in Pushya: Star of Nourishment

Amāvásyā

Art Nouveau By Hriviel

The dark moon Thursday (7/28) morning lands in the constellation of Pushya (sidereal Cancer), the Star of Nourishment. We all crave a sense of sovereignty within ourselves and furthermore, yearn for belonging amongst tribe. This lunar mansion is symbolized by the milk yielding utter of the cow, who is impartial to all that she nourishes. Without question, thought of return, or reason, the mother gives love unconditionally. If we can learn to lean into serving and showing up for others in a truly selfless way, we can begin to harness the mystical energies of this asterism.

 Have you been second guessing your capacity to handle all that has landed on your plate? And over thinking your current circumstances and steps forward? Perhaps the current tension and pressure of responsibility has been clouding your ability to see the big picture and stay patient in the process. Shift your attention to self care and ride the waves of this high paced transit that is offering potential for great leaps forward. All we have to do is stay out of our own way. Don’t touch whatever is coming up and know there is opportunity on the horizon. Allow for a few more developments to unfold before taking action around whatever you would like to grow in this moment — step out of your mind and into your heart.

Saturn retrograded back into Capricorn on 7/12 (through 11/23) and is redirecting our attention to review our values, direction in life, personal boundaries and assess what is to be held on to and what is to be released. The experience of this inquiry may feel quite familiar, as we have the opportunity now for a redo in some area of our lives or another. We are being gifted a miraculous opportunity to up-level and expedite our growth of consciousness. A door has opened and is offering a deeper look into our sense of responsibility and is holding the mirror up to unconscious patterns we may have left on repeat. Holding on to old ways, as comfortable as if feels in the moment, will ultimately lead you to being swept away by the strong current.

The personal Shakti (power) of this nakshatra, initiates the ability to harness creative energy, which in turn provides the wisdom and abundance to nurture and grow both the spiritual and material worlds. For this reason, Pushya, the Empress star is the most favorable constellation for beginning any activity. Focus on self care and creativity. Ground down through breathwork, meditation, and mantra japa to stay centered and connect with others through simple and dharma enhancing activities — such as home cooked meals, being outdoors and in stepping in spiritual practices.
