Amāvásyā

The dark moon Wednesday afternoon lands in the lunar mansion of Anuradha (Scorpio), the Star of Success. We’re on the precipice of great change. As a new chapter unfolds, we’re greeted with expansive new beginnings. Welcome this new moon with internalized practices that are both grounding and tend to inner peace, so you can illumine the hidden potential of this transit.
Anuradha awakens the potential for healing in relationships and sparks the ability to cultivate devotion to something greater than oneself — to a higher love. This constellation seeks to build and harmonize with community, to collaborate and form deep and sincere friendships and lasting alliances. Anuradha is a universal solvent which naturally bridges discordant energies. Opportunities for great healing are initiated around exclusion, the renewal of friendships and the beginning of new and meaningful bonds.
This nakshatra has the power to turn the unconscious, conscious. Just like the majestic lotus flower that emerges from the mud, guided by the light of the Sun, you too will reach your goal in time. Be courageous and daring to go deeper than you’ve been willing to go — face the things that are unconscious now and bring them into the light of awareness. As this lunar mansion teaches us — it only takes a spark to ignite the thirst to go deeper.
Minutes after the new moon, benevolent Jupiter stations direct in Pisces, after being retrograde since July 28th. Jupiter’s most welcomed grace offers a flavor of encouragement along with a positive and compassionate outlook. We’re being asked to review areas in our life associated with wisdom, partnership, growth, expansion, children, teachers, and travel.
Mars, the fierce and passionate planet, continues his retrograde motion through January and asks us to keep our energy, frustration, anger, and responses in check. You may have noticed yourself or others, quicker to react then normal, leaning in their impulsive side or burning the candle at both ends. When planets are retrograde they tend to awaken in intensity and have the ability to activate the harsher qualities of that planet. Slow down, stay cool, digest what is being said before reacting, and know that with awareness we can equally harness the higher modes of Mars: charisma, courage, enthusiasm, healthy ambition and passion.
