Settling into deep waters, this New Moon cycle is influenced by a combust Saturn and a starved Sun.
Twelfth from the New Moon is Rahu, Mars, and stationing Mercury, the battle and the churning of the mind, desire, and will. The field of Aquarius is heavy, dissolving, and transformative.
On March 18th, the New Moon reaches 4° at its darkest point, with the Sun, Moon, Saturn, and Venus all “married” in the sign of Pisces in Uttara Bhādrapadā, with the deity Ahirbudhnya in command. Known as the Serpent of the Deep and one of the 11 Rudras, Ahirbudhnya carries both creative and destructive power. The fertility of stored dormant energy awakened in the alchemy of change.
A cycle marked by the battle of Saturn and the Sun, the inner and outer battles, the self and others. A tension between structure and identity, patience and sacrifice. What is required vs. what is desired. The heart of all water signs is governed by Saturn, which asks for depth and honesty, not speed, where inner alignment must come first, before the outer forces can sustain new desires.
Ahirbudhnya holds hidden wisdom deep within the unseen layers of existence, revealing our karmic footprint and the subtle forces shaping our lives beyond what is visible. Uttara Bhādrapadā awakens not with thunder, but with a whisper.
Signalling a time not to push forward, rather to have the courage to end old conflicts and disputes. To drop it! The courage to allow closure. More forgiveness. More kindness. To open your hand and loosen the grip, preparing yourself to be freed.
Let go of overthinking, your story, and your narrative and place it aside. In doing so, something magical opens. You become unlocked.
A wisdom that blooms not from movement, but from depth. Returning us to curiosity and innocence instead of judgment.
This New Moon cycle is bathed in the energy of the Divine Feminine, the dark soil where everything comes from, where the Moon becomes the Sun of the night with full intensity and a quiet force, very fitting as we begin the sadhana and celebraton of Navratri.
Happy New Moon Cycle, Happy Navratri, Happy Equinox. May the Divine bathe the world in peace.
With infinite love,
Siriprakash
