New Moon in Jyeshta Nakshatra (12/13 December 2023)

12/03/23 • 13 min

New Moon in Jyeshta Nakshatra, in the heart of sidereal Scorpio, is usually one of the most transformative ones in a year. Moon, the significator of our mind, goes through inner churning while residing in Scorpio, which is additionally amplified by combustion experienced by it during the New Moon time. Pushed far away from its comfort zone, mind in such a state can be more prone to irritation, frustration, finding fault in things and negative attitude. With Mars being closely conjuct with the New Moon, we might be additionally prone to anger - while Saturn’s aspect upon it can easily challenge our fears and limits. The conflict between those two inimical and tamasic planets experiencing mutual aspect will significantly intensify the tensions around the New Moon time.

And yet, a New Moon so powerful, can be an incredible opportunity to truly transform our shadows, face our fears and rise above our limitations with courage. After all, Jyeshta Nakshatra is all about growth and strive for perfection - also on spiritual level. A challenge is, after all, just an opportunity to grow. Additionally, during this New Moon, Sun and Moon will be conjuct in the amsha of Goddess Bhairavi in the D20 chart, who does not only challenge use to rise above our fears, but also inspires courage to grow and evolve.

Full Moon in Rohini Nakshatra (27 November 2023)

This Full Moon in Rohini Nakshatra, although spiritual charged, will simultaneously challenge us on many levels and inspire us to grow, as the very power (rohana Shakti) of this lunar mansion indicates. With Venus (disposition of the upcoming Full Moon) heading towards Ketu and her max debilitation place in Virgo, and Mars combust during the entire fortnight, we may experience that many of our desires, wishes, hopes and expectations in the external world might end up in disappointment - and the resulting dissatisfaction may influence many to become more prone to frustration and anger outbursts. But if we utilise this time instead to turn within towards the inexhaustible source of happiness and love inside our hearts, independent from external factors, we may find out that even if we feel dissatisfied, there is a part of us which always remains full. It is a beautiful time to practice gratitude (instead of focusing on what we lack) - especially in the sphere of relationships, which might be particularly challenged those days.
