Amāvásyā

The dark moon early Monday morning falls in the constellation of Rohini (sidereal Taurus), the Star of Ascent. Rohini is the moons favorite lunar mansion with it’s alluring, charismatic and magnetic charm and is one of the brightest stars in the nights sky (Aldebaran). This new moon activates a month of materializing ones thoughts and desires, as this star is known for bestowing support for growth on the material plane.
The astrological weather has been quite turbulent as of late and our dance with Mercury retrograde may just have a finale up it’s sleeve before the end of the week. The past couple months have been a rite of passage for many, clearing you out for something new to be birthed. Instead of stepping into blame or story, as many of us do, what would it take for you to be in curiosity around what Mercury, the planet of speech, communication and technology, is attempting to convey to you?
The architecture is changing fast — the moment think you’ve made up your mind, the whole story has already shifted. Wait a around a week after June 3rd, when mercury stations direct, to initiate the long awaited action steps you’ve been pondering in your mind, over and over again. Be in the questions now and when mercury moves forward, your magnetism and productivity will spur you into momentum.
Shani (Saturn), son of Surya Dev, who is depicted as a dark figure, sitting on a crow — the planet of karma, duty, longevity and the keeper of time, celebrates his birthday with this new moon. On June 4th, Shani makes his yearly retrograde motion in Danishtha star (sidereal Aquarius) until October 20th. We’re stepping into a phase, we could associate with as a do-over, as on July 12th Shani returns to Capricorn, where he’s been casting his gaze the past two plus years.
Our attention may become preoccupied with reviewing our values, direction in life, and holding on to our personal truths. Saturn retrograde will provide an opportunity for us to review our sense of responsibility and hold the mirror up to unconscious patterns we may have left on repeat. We are being gifted a miraculous opportunity to up-level and expedite our growth of consciousness. Holding onto old ways, as comfortable as if feels in the moment, will ultimately lead you to being swept away by the strong current.
Stay grounded, curious and reclaim your celestial nature, that which is also deeply rooted and resting in being. This is not the time of the loan Wolf anymore, nor the time to relished completely in our accession practices. It is the time to reconsider our place in community and how we contribute to each other and whole. Just like whenever you throw a pebble into a lake the ripples are felt even at the shore remember — when one person choses to reclaim both their light and dark completely, it activates the great circle that holds us all together.

"I believe in all that has never yet been spoken. I want to free what waits within me so that what no one has dared to wish for may for once spring clear without my contriving.
If this is arrogant, God, forgive me, but this is what I need to say. May what I do flow from me like a river, no forcing and no holding back, the way it is with children. Then in these swelling and ebbing currents, these deepening tides moving out, returning, I will sing you as no one ever has, streaming through widening channels into the open sea." ~ Rilke
