Welcome to a refreshing full moon in Ashwini nakshatra, a swift, passionate star of healing & rejuvenation. A shape-shifting & manifesting star, these qualities continue to infuse the next 2 weeks, particularly the first 3 days of the waning moon cycle.

Because this star is so light & so swift, the principle of ‘where our attention goes energy flows’ is magnified. Embracing this lunar energy naturally shifts our consciousness to look forward. Like unfurling sails, catching fresh winds of inspiration or conviction can now carry us in a new direction.

To make the most of the opportunity now, it helps to consciously choose, which is where Ashwini’s extraordinary powers of manifestation come in.

Ashwini can lift us out of stalemates, pull us away from attachment to a disintegrating past & towards a new direction & future. But it can also take us in the opposite direction – where our energy goes energy flows.

Pluto’s t-square to the luminaries while not a traditional Vedic Astrology aspect, can’t be ignored here. At the personal level it helps us break through egoic patterns & raise our consciousness. Even insecurity is a false self keeping us playing small, hiding our true authenticity.

As society’s polarization continues in the coming months, a natural protection & vibrational shift away from this is to consciously choose what revitalizes & energizes us in a positive way.

Some of us are real activists at heart & whose true essence lights up when fighting for a dharmic cause. Many for of us though, particularly the sensitives among us, too much immersion in the anger & fear of the dominant rhetoric drains precious lifeforce.

A practice to harness the rejuvenating & healing power of this full moon is taking mindfulness moments each day. Begin by taking a few deep, grounding breaths & check in to the mindstream. Check into to the body’s energy level & messages.

If we notice we’re feeling imbalanced or low, this is the magic of our body’s wisdom reminding us to consciously refocus our attention onto what fills us with vitality & purpose.
