New Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra

5 July

New Moon culminating with complete conjunction of Sun and Moon in Punarvasu Nakshatra will inspire us to give ourselves a chance for new beginnings in various areas of life. Punarvasu, after all, means “the return of light”. With Moon and Mercury experiencing Parivartan Yoga on the day of New Moon itself we will be inspired to feel more rather than trying to intellectualise things - to bridge mind’s understanding with understanding through feeling and experience. This entire dark fortnight will keep inspiring us to look at various aspects of our life with a new, fresh perspective, and a healthy dose of curiosity and positive approach. It is a powerful time for self-work, introspection and changing some of our existing habits.

Full Moon in Mula Nakshatra

21/22 June 2024

This bright fortnight will culminate with Full Moon in Mula Nakshatra in sidereal Sagittarius, which will occur just one day after Summer Solstice on Northern Hemisphere and Winter Solstice on Southern Hemisphere. The fierce energies of Sun in Ardra, the star of Rudra, will combine with Full Moon in the star of Nirriti or Kali, which will result in result in a very transformative fortnight.

Throughout the entire fortnight Venus will remain combust, which will make it a challenging time for our relations, as we will have a tendency to prioritise ourselves more. It is a very important time for conscious practice of compassion and kindness, rather than gravitating towards more forceful approach.

After recent transformative Full Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra, we are going to experience in a few days one of the most powerful New Moons in this year: New Moon in Rohini Nakshatra, at the heart of sidereal Taurus, culminating with 5 planetary conjuction - the New Moon, which is also known as Shani Amavasya.

With all 3 sattvic planets conjuct with 2 rajasic ones in Taurus, and preceded by a sequences of 3 tamasic grahas, we may expect that our tamasic & rajasic qualities may temporarily overshadow our sattvic qualities, such as peacefulness, compassion or rational thinking. We will be much more inclined to listen to our selfish desires and stormy emotions, than to the inner voice of insight. It is a very good time for intensifying our spiritual practice, so that we may stay more centred in the heart during this period.
