The dark moon early Saturday morning lands in the constellation of Māgha (sidereal Leo), the Star of Power. This royal nakshatra relates to our Ancestors, fulfilling one’s duties, magic and the celestial throne.
This is a time to remember our ancestors and reflect on our interdependency with all things — to shine light on our inherited habits, cycles and reactions as well as the legacy we’re leaving behind with the imprint of our thoughts, speech and actions — whether conscious or unconscious.
There is intergenerational work to be had during this window. For some of you, this may look like a baptism by fire that is requesting you to take a deeper look into healing your ancestral line. We’re being requested to take personal responsibility for the cycles and habits that may have been left on repeat. Have the courage to utilize this window wisely.
As the veil thins, are you able to track where are you being confronted with familiar lessons and perhaps inherited habits that are no longer assisting your momentum forward? Take personal responsibility for embodying and putting into practice the wisdom you’ve been cultivating that has now circled around front and center.
Place extra attention on staying rested and grounded during this time. Lead with your whole heart and know that a physical practice (holding the hard poses) will be of great service in assisting this process. Use these next couple weeks to set your plans into motion, as there’s extra emphasis for accomplishment on the material plane while the moon waxes.
If you need assistance in tracking this shift on a personal level, please use the link in my bio to book a private consultation. Know that I’m here to support you.

Eknath Eswaran // “What would your life look like if you had the energy of the sun? The radiance of the stars? Love as infinite as the oceans? What if you had perfect health? Radiant Beauty? Strength in body and a mind of brilliance that always served you, and never erred? This is the promise of the Vedas: A wellness that draws out “the splendor of the personality that expresses itself in love, courage, creativity, and a melting tenderness that draws all hearts.”
