It’s the cracks that let the light in. The role of each new moon is to usher in a cycle of growth, and of each full moon to balance that surge of growth, integrating apparently opposite energies. The full moon in Satabishak nakshatra reaches its zenith at exactly midnight PST, giving us an opportunity to harness and harmonize the energy of last month’s new moon solar eclipse in Magha that shook things up, for better or worse.
Beginning tonight and through the two week waning phase of the moon is an excellent time to explore, bring to light and release hidden wounds inhibiting our personal power and clarity. Healing using astrology, alternative modalities & psychology are especially supported during this period thanks to the power of Satabishak. The eclipse energy shook up and loosened our foundations at an energetic level which allows for shifts to occur on a faster timeline when directed. These healing shifts can relate to mind, body or spirit which are in fact intimately related.
Shatabishak nakshatra sits in Aquarius and translates to ‘100 Physicians’. It is one of the most powerful nakshatras for healing and adventure. Planets here gift us with the light of consciousness thanks to the power of its deity Varuna, god of the Cosmic Waters. But no single facet of astrology can be looked at in isolation; the heavens, much like ourselves, are in a continual process of change and becoming.
The last eclipse in Magha (‘Throne’) nakshatra highlighted themes of patriarchal lineage, power & secrecy. Because it was a solar eclipse these issues are having a impact on the collective and will continue to do so for at least 6 months, particularly in America where the eclipse and planets were directly on top of President Trump’s personal planets. As the leader of a nation, his fate is intimately tied to it. However for most of us this highlighted our individual connection to family lineage.
In addition to providing the power to heal, Satabishak is associated with investigations and spies. Mars’s transit conjunct Mercury’s station on the degree of the eclipse over the last two days has created a powerful drive for change and personal expression that needs to be directed to be effective.
Are you picking up on theme here? This is a time to be proactive about our healing even though – or because! – we’ve been disappointed in the past, particularly healing around personal and cultural lineage, and authority (including our own). Let’s face it, we never truly finish healing on the earth plane. However, if we courageously face our fears and dig deep, not with the intention of blaming or self-flagellation but to heal, we can be rewarded with transformational insights and a new, integrated form of personal power.
Find a great practitioner to work with who is tuned in spiritually and esoterically, or reconnect with someone you trust at these levels to help guide you to the next level of awareness and well-being. This is an excellent time to have an astrology reading, Reconnective healing session, Ayurveda, TCM, Acupuncture or integrative medicine consultation, to name just a few. Having someone extraordinarily present with you can be an appropriate space for healing to occur, however it would be a missed opportunity to not take advantage of the extra boost esoteric and alternative modalities have right now.
You can also turn to your ancestors in a prayer or ceremony tonight, and request guidance via dreams, omens or sudden ‘knowing’ as Magha has been re-activated by Mercury’s station on the eclipse degree.
This full moon is in Aquarius which is about connection. You don’t have to do this one alone.
💙 Only love 💙
