The New Moon cycle of October brings an array of challenges. Venus, the lord, positioned in the 12th from the Moon, suggests a denial or delay of desires and may incline us to project dissatisfaction onto others, particularly those we love. The Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Mars are all joined in Libra, creating tension and agitation within family dynamics and partnerships.
This planetary combination can amplify emotional reactions, testing our ability to remain calm amid relational or domestic strain. With all this energy concentrated in the natural 7th house of partners and contracts, success comes with sophistication. The test lies in how we relate, communicate, and respond. Fiery Mars and the Sun with the Moon and Mercury can make communication fast, stubborn, and unyielding, reminding us to temper our words with intelligence and refinement.
The Moon, positioned in Chitra nakshatra, invites us to become the architect of our own renewal. Chitra governs design, beauty, and the creation of both art and weapons, a reminder that the tools we wield can heal or harm depending on the consciousness behind them.
The Moon, the planet that governs our birth, urges us to focus on what is timeless: the return of light within, the trust that even in uncertainty, divine order unfolds. The past and the present intersect here, where letting go becomes the gateway to peace.
On this New Moon, we celebrate Deepavali, the festival of lights, when we make peace with those we may have had conflicts with. It is a time emphasising unity, love, and the triumph over darkness. A time to come together, share gifts, light lamps, and strengthen bonds. It is considered good luck to share and give to others, to light a row of lamps, and to celebrate the eternal light of love.
Welcoming the Goddess Lakshmi into your home begins with your front door. The main entrance of your home is a gateway to cosmic energy according to Vastu, and in Jyotish it is your ascendant. It should be kept clean, show strength, and yet remain welcoming.
If we desire the comfort of Lakshmi, we have to become steady and constant like her, compassionate, kind, a living prayer in all our actions.
Harmonise and synchronise what resides in your heart and what you present to the world, your ascendant. Decorate it, light it up, and enjoy it, and you will find success.
With much love and affection,
