New Moon in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra (9/10 March 2024)

02/27/24 • 17 min

This dark fortnight is going to culminate with New Moon in transformative Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, preceded by the Great Night of Lord Shiva, known as Mahashivaratri.

This fortnight was always seen by the ancient sages as the time for inner purification, introspection and intensifying our spiritual practice, as it often brings some of our inner demons to the surface of our awareness and thus gives us the opportunity to face our shadows and transform them. This year, in particular, the dark fortnight of Lord Shiva may stir from deep within us many conflicting emotions, as Sun and Moon will be conjuct with Saturn and Venus during the Shivaratri and the New Moon itself - which is a very complex conjunction to experience for every planet involved. This is the time to look deep within and avoid active participation in any external conflict.

Full Moon in Magha Nakshatra (24 February 2024)

Get ready for one of the most powerful Full Moons of the year: Full Moon in Magha Nakshatra, occurring on 24 February 🌝

When Moon shines with its full rays in Magha Nakshatra, which represents the very point between our eyebrows, the third eye chakra of intuition, higher consciousness and our connection with the Divine, our whole consciousness becomes enlightened with its rays. This year it is going to be a particularly powerful one, as it will be receiving aspects from 5 different planets: benevolent Jupiter from Aries, Sun, Saturn & Mercury from Aquarius and exalted Mars from Capricorn.

This Full Moon is also known as Lalita Jayanti or appearance day of Goddess Lalita, one of the 10 Mahavidyas. While the first 9 days of this Shukla Paksha are sacred to Goddess Matangi, closely associated with Lalita.
