Pūrṇimā

The full moon on Friday afternoon lands in the constellation of Punarvasu पुनर्वसु (sidereal Gemini), the Star of Renewal. This nakshatra is symbolized by a quiver of arrows, has the power to bestow prosperity and represents the light that returns after a storm. These particular arrows are thought to be magical — once released and the objective has been obtained, they circle back around. Just like that, this renewal of energy brings with it hope for a second chance. Know that this month can be defined with major transformation, changing of the guard, and may even bring about a change of mind as mercury stations direct.
As many around the world have been pressing the reset button and bringing their attention to new years resolutions — astronomically, this is not the time for new beginnings or forging ahead with your agendas. The current pulse encourages a slow and steady pace, one of reflection and reconciliation between the heart-mind polarity.
You may feel as if you’re taking two steps forward and four steps back — a push and pull of sorts — which allows us to recognize that we may not be ready for that experience we desire with all of our being, quite yet. We’re in the mode of gathering more information. Focus on your priorities, release that which isn’t contributing to your desired destination and continue to be patient a little longer. Move one step at a time, and keep your action steps and goals to yourself.
Saturn, the great time keeper, steps powerfully from Capricorn, where it’s been since 2020 and into Aquarius, it’s mūlatrikona (where a planet finds it’s roots) sign, mid month. We will be moving from restriction, hard work and a sense of constriction to a unifying and awakening in the collective, a global receptivity to truth, which turns a critical eye to our hopes and dreams, while enlivening energetic sovereignty and community involvement.
