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.
