Full Moon in Revatī: The Wealthy Star

The full moon Sunday morning 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 in the transition from death to rebirth — from endings into new beginnings. 

Revatī teaches us to expand our vision to see the bigger picture held within Universal mind, and that which is attuned to collective consciousness. This celestial anointment awakens one’s heart and births the unconditional love, nourishment and protection associated with the Great Mother. 

This full moon, accompanied by benevolent Jupiter, holds the energy to assist us in transcending our fears, and tending to that which we would like to nurture and grow. We’ve stepped out of Mercury retrograde’s shadow and are being invited to pierce through the veil and take a leap of faith towards that which we truly desire. Go forth my brothers and sisters and allow yourself to be surprised by what awaits you.

Victory of Good over Evil

Vijaya Dashami

Today we celebrate the victory of good over evil with the culmination of Navarātri - nine nights dedicated to honoring the divine feminine. One could say that the root of all evil is to separate - from source, oneself, and all our relations.

I recall those moments where the invitation comes sweeping in and I find myself standing at the edge of that threshold.

To die in each moment to the false stories, beliefs and perceptions I’ve created or accepted about myself and this waking dream. To illumine the places untouched and hidden from view. That process which evokes one’s former limited identity to transform -  returning incoherency to coherency. Harmonizing mind, body and emotions through that courageous experience of grounding into something higher. A crucifixion and resurrection which awakens that Holy lamp within the center of the heart. 

I believe this is perhaps what the Sufis and many other traditions are speaking of. That victory of good over evil — to die before you die. That inner directed shift and right of passage that takes you over the threshold of irreversible change.

With that, I ask you my beloved brothers and sisters - when will you exchange your small life of separation, so that you can fulfill your greater part?

You may never feel ready to step completely into the Unknown and what awaits you is immeasurable love. The choice is yours.

Love all ways

New Moon in Uttara Phalguni: The Star of Patronage

Amāvásyā

The dark moon early Sunday morning lands in the constellation of Uttara Phalguni (Virgo) the Star of Patronage and is accompanied by exalted Mercury, Venus, the Sun and Jupiter in Pisces benevolent gaze. Hospitality, protection of agreements and contracts, selflessness, service to those in need, and the grace to bear fruit are all associated with this nakshatra.

Spend the next couple days honoring and feeding your ancestors, literally and figuratively, as the veil is thin and you’re being supported from all angles. Since the full moon we’ve been celebrating Pritu Paksha (Fortnight of the Ancestors) and the most important day for honoring your ancestors is on this amāvásyā. Spend time attuning your inward flow of awareness towards the legacy you’ve inherited from those who have walked before you.

This is a time to harmonize your intellect and soul to spur momentum towards evolutionary growth, along with gains on the material plane. The energies of this dark moon find fulfillment in extending service to those beyond your immediate family — to your inner circle and broader community. Even though you may have been experiencing resistance on the path towards achieving your heart’s desire, stay with the course and practice moving one step at a time instead of continuing to reassess your direction.

We’re in the last couple weeks of Mercury retrograde, continue to gather more information, circle around and complete pending projects — you’re now building the foundation and setting the stage for what is to come. Continue to postpone new projects and meaningful commitments until after Mercury stations direct on October 2nd and through the shadow period one week.

The Vedic holiday Navaratri (nine nights of the Divine feminine) begins Monday night. This is a special festival which honors the Goddess with prayer, fasting, and lamp lighting.
