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
