NEW MOON FORECAST | ⠀

✨ Are you drawn to occult or esoteric subjects?⠀
✨ Do you feel that you just need to know The Truth? ⠀
✨ Do you know anyone struggling to heal?
✨ Are you noticing your ambitions simmering or evolving? ⠀
⠀
⠀
✨ We are entering an exciting & complex new moon cycle, filled with mystery & revelations, progress & unanticipated turns. And potential for healing. This new moon redirects our soul’s evolution to the significations of mystical Shatabhisha nakshatra, ruled by Varuna, the God of the Midnight Sun.⠀
⠀
⠀
✨ The sweet, receptive moon has several influences on it right now, not all of them easy.  Retrograde Mercury is sharing Shatabhisha with the new moon, while Mercury is in a friendly but somewhat chaotic parivartan yoga with suspicious, intellectual Rahu in Ardra nakshatra. We may be feeling ambitious now, with an appetite for information and progress, and our community or leadership roles may be evolving. This can be an exciting time but the D9 chart reveals that we are actually being asked to let go of some control and accept some inevitable unpredictability in forward progress.  Karmic forces are stronger than our willpower & ego now.⠀
⠀
⠀
✨ This is a great time to have an astrology reading, or deepen esoteric studies. Disciplines such as Jyotish and Nimittas (omens) & tarot can help us access fascinating insights if we cultivate a quiet & receptive mental state from which to tune in to the vibrations & hidden messages of the Cosmos.

✨ Our mindspace could be a bit distorted at the moment, & can lead us down obsessive thought alleys. If you have any concerns now is the time to check your devices for spyware but don’t get overly paranoid – this star can make us a bit edgy like that. Step back from negative thoughts should they arise & recognise that they are just a few thoughts amongst many neutral, happy, productive or curious thoughts – we don’t have to obey the nasty ones.

✨ It’s said that the stars are symbolic of the 1000 eyes of Varuna that can see all: the wide blue skies above, the mysterious depths of the oceans below, and all of our deeds. We could find ourselves very focused on others’ behaviors &  maybe suspicious of their actions and motives, in fact Shatabhisa is also called the Star of Surveillance.

✨ Startling secrets could be revealed now. Try to stay cool & view new information with compassion for yourself and the offending party – the whole story might not be known yet. The influence of Mercury and Rahu on the moon can make it difficult to pick up clear patterns in the vast amount of information flooding our senses, and to follow in to accurate conclusions. As Varuna is also the Cosmic Judge, we could find ourselves very quick to point fingers & blame.

✨ Conscious forgiveness, whether the offending party is deserving or not; releasing feelings of anger or vengeance is ultimately a gift to ourselves so that we can experience more love, happiness & peace.

✨ The interchange between planets in Ardra & Shatabhisha nakshatra are wonderfully supportive of healing & medical research. One of the most powerful prayers for healing, the Mahamrityunjaya mantra, is to Rudra Ardra’s nakshatra lord, and is said to even forestall death. In the Yajur Veda Varuna is known as the god of ‘100 remedies’. This shows tremendous cosmic support for researching, understanding & even reversing lingering or mysterious illnesses — welcome news with so much confusion about Coronavirus dominating global discourse now.
