New Moon In Śravaṇa Timeline Astrology podcast

22:09

March ushers in significant change as planets gather in Pisces, culminating in a solar eclipse during the Lunar New Year by the end of the month. This period is transformative—while many shifts will be positive, they may first require letting go of what no longer serves us.Venus retrogrades from 2 March, complicating matters despite an extended period of exaltation. In retrograde, Venus can feel weakened, making it harder to maintain balance. We may find ourselves critiquing what we once accepted. On 12 March, the Sun aligns with Saturn, followed by a total lunar eclipse in Leo on 14 March. This marks a shift in leadership, paving the way for Ketu’s entry into Leo by late May. As Ketu conjoins Mars this summer, expect bold leadership moves and heightened intensity.Between the eclipses, Mercury retrogrades near Venus, creating further disruptions. Venus struggles to support a faltering Mercury, mirroring our challenges in expressing ideals practically. The mood may dip as we are forced to clarify or abandon impractical visions.The Sun meets Rahu on 18 March and Neptune on 20 March before closing the month with a partial solar eclipse on 29 March, setting the tone for the year ahead. This eclipse coincides with the Lunar New Year, Viśvāvasu, meaning “beneficial to all”—a hopeful sign despite the upheaval.In the background, Uranus enters Taurus on 18 March after nearly a decade in Aries, signalling major disruptions in the global economy and trade. Notably, President Trump launched new trade wars as Uranus stationed direct at Aries’ final degree—Aries represents war, while Taurus governs what we trade. Over the next seven years, Uranus will challenge what we once considered stable.Adding to the instability, Saturn enters Pisces for the first time in nearly 30 years, ushering in an era of truth and resilience testing. Many established structures may dissolve over the next three years before Saturn moves into Aries in 2027-2028.The world order is shifting dramatically. To navigate personal and collective changes, adjust your mindset and expectations. While Venus in Pisces inspires creative solutions to problems, Saturn in Pisces urges us to get real.We can make those dreams tangible or leave them behind for good.…

New Moon in Śatabhiṣaj 5:36

7天之前5:36

5:36

The Moon aligns with the Sun in Aquarius, within the lunar mansion Śatabhiṣāj, which means "100 healers" or "100 demons." This duality reflects Aquarius’ complexity, embodying seemingly contradictory forces. At its core, the empty circle symbol represents a truth beyond ordinary perception. Ruled by Varuna, the god of the sea, Śatabhiṣāj is linked to secrecy, the hidden realms, and cosmic enlightenment. In contrast to Leo, it is often called the "dark sun," emphasizing vision and awareness. As the Sun and Moon transit this sign, new insights may emerge, revealing what was previously unseen. This New Moon may initially feel unsettling, but embracing reality—symbolized by its conjunction with Saturn—can help ground you in what’s true. It’s a time for mental and physical purification, as Aquarius governs thought processes that may be unsettled. While Rahu rules every New Moon, this one strongly resonates with the "dark lord," intensifying its themes. With an eclipse season ahead—including a total lunar and solar eclipse—this period may carry heavy or dark undertones. However, it also offers an opportunity for transformation, turning darkness into light. The night before the dark Moon phase is Maha Shivaratri, a powerful time for introspection. Observing this through fasting, quiet reflection, or a new perspective can help you cultivate stillness at this time of great change.…

Full Moon in Āśleṣā 7:22

22天之前7:22

7:22

Another month brings a Full Moon at the final degree of its sign—this time in sidereal Cancer and within the lunar mansion Āśleṣā. This phase highlights endings, resolutions, and the potential for extremes in weather and our emotional landscape. Āśleṣā, meaning "embrace," reflects Cancer’s natural tendency for attachment. Ruled by a serpent and symbolized by a coiled snake, it evokes themes of hidden realms and occult knowledge. Once its grip is released, it holds immense spiritual and healing power. Problems begin when we get stuck. Mercury, representing the intellect, is linked to this lunar mansion and often clings to certain thoughts and feelings, disrupting the natural flow. With Mercury ingressing Aquarius now also, you might fixate on specific ideas and lose perspective. While Āśleṣā can temporarily bind us, we eventually learn to let go of thoughts and connections that no longer serve us. During this Full Moon in Cancer, as the Sun ingresses Aquarius, you may face issues related to attachment. Capricorn and Aquarius encourage a more detached approach, suggesting that setting healthy boundaries and recognizing where your mind tends to get stuck can help restore equilibrium. As the Moon shifts into Leo, creating a space between attachment and detachment, you’re offered room to open up and find stillness—especially important during this Full Moon phase.…

February 2025 Vedic Astrology Forecast (Sidereal) 21:40

5 weeks之前21:40

21:40

The month begins with a Venus-Rahu-Neptune conjunction in Pisces, setting the stage for major shake-ups in March, when Mercury, Saturn, the Sun, and Moon join them for a once-in-a-lifetime alignment. Many things come to an end, leading to new ways of being in an ever-changing world. Yet, the Venus-Rahu-Neptune conjunctions may bring delusion or a more grounded perspective. It all depends on where you are situated (dasha). Despite a turbulent start to 2025, these transits symbolize hope for a brighter future as we move past initial challenges. Venus is exalted for the next four months. Though it’s overshadowed by Rahu and diffuse because of Neptune, we can use the blurry outlines to dream up a new reality. However, it can lead to much confusion about right and true. And if you don’t know what’s true, you’re unlikely to do what’s right. No matter; it won't be long before Saturn joins them and tells us what is real. Jupiter is turning direct in early February, clarifying our aspirations and boosting optimism. Venus and Jupiter also exchange signs, a powerful combination of the two most benevolent planets in the heavens that bodes well for peace—at least in the short term. Though Mars remains retrograde in Gemini until February 24, influencing Pluto in Capricorn puts more pressure on leaders to reveal what they’ve been hiding. The release of hostages in Israel and Gaza is an obvious example of how these transits are playing out. By February 9, Mercury aligns with the Sun, offering sharper focus and opportunities to resolve earlier frustrations. Mid-February sees the Sun and Mercury enter Aquarius, bringing a wake-up call as they meet Saturn. A Sun-Saturn conjunction encourages us to reassess our goals but may also challenge us to stick with them, fueling doubt about our capabilities. Leaders around the world are likely feeling the pressure at this stage. As the month concludes, Mercury meets Saturn before entering Pisces. Fantasies may overshadow reality after an initial sense of realism, leading to unrealistic expectations and confusion. The Mercury-Venus-Rahu-Neptune alignment could further blur reality and overwhelm the mind. Thankfully, Mars turns direct in Gemini and offers relief, helping us reorganize our thoughts and prepare for the next stage and challenge. All planets are moving forward by the end of the month and until Venus begins its retrograde in Pisces by the beginning of March. Everything is moving forward in some way. We must clarify what is possible, whatever dreams may come.…

New Moon in Śravaṇa 5:22

5:22

By the end of the month, the Moon aligns with the Sun in sidereal Capricorn and the lunar mansion Śravaṇa, marking the true start of the New Year. New Moons symbolize fresh beginnings. Unlike the idealistic energy of Sagittarius, a Capricorn New Moon focuses on practicality and taking action, even if it feels challenging. Mercury and Pluto shape this New Moon and the month ahead, while Mars in Gemini watches with frustration at the slow progress. Though Mars appreciates Capricorn's no-nonsense attitude, Gemini’s indecisiveness complicates matters. After January’s initial optimism, reality sets in. Some goals may prove unattainable, but this shift encourages working with what’s possible. It’s a time to adapt and succeed through practicality—a "make-do" Moon offering plenty of resources. Śravaṇa, meaning "listening," emphasizes the importance of connecting to wisdom, whether from others or within. Its symbol, the ear, reminds us to pause and tune in after the noise of the New Year fades. Be still, listen, and then follow what is true and real.…

Full Moon in Punarvasu 6:22

7 weeks之前6:22

6:22

The Full Moon in Gemini occurs at the final degree of the sign, continuing a pattern of Full Moons at the last degree of signs until summer 2025. Full Moons mark a culmination, and when they align at the end of a sign, they emphasize closure and reaching a peak. A Gemini Full Moon is lighthearted and open, with Mercury in Sagittarius encouraging broader perspectives. This particular Full Moon invites big thinking before the Sun transitions into Capricorn the next day, shifting the mood to a more grounded and pragmatic focus. It’s a good time to reflect on your inspirations and goals for 2025 and prepare to tackle challenges realistically. This Full Moon occurs in Punarvasu, a lunar mansion spanning Gemini and Cancer. It emphasizes the connection between heart and mind. In Vedic thought, the Moon symbolizes citta —the unified heart-mind—reminding us that these aspects of ourselves are not separate but inherently connected. As we move into Cancer, the energy invites us to reconnect and integrate these parts of ourselves, symbolized by the gesture of “hand on heart.”…

January 2025 Sidereal Astrology 23:55

9 weeks之前23:55

23:55

The year begins with intense energy due to Pluto's exact opposition to Mars and Rahu's influence from Pisces. This amplifies and drains Mars' energy, potentially triggering explosive events or burying issues deeper as retrograde Mars retraces its steps. In the first two days, the Moon joins Pluto, acting as a catalyst, whether outwardly or internally. Mars retrograde in Cancer, aspected by Rahu, with Neptune, adds confusion and misinformation. Mid-January sees the Sun entering Capricorn to conjoin Pluto and oppose Mars, shining a spotlight. By January 21, Mars retrogrades into Gemini, redirecting energy toward unresolved issues from late 2024. As Venus meets Saturn in Aquarius and the Sun moves into Capricorn, a shift occurs toward practical reflection, replacing unrealistic resolutions with grounded intentions. Mercury’s transition from Scorpio to Sagittarius introduces optimism once it moves beyond Saturn’s influence. Venus enters Pisces by the end of the month, fostering optimism but risking self-deception with its conjunction with Rahu and Neptune. Finally, Uranus stations direct at Aries’ final degree, signalling the start of a new phase in initiating projects.…

New Moon in Pūrvāṣaḍhā 5:20

A second New Moon in December occurs in Sagittarius, guiding us from fear toward optimism. Earlier in the month, the Moon's transit through Scorpio, alongside retrograde Mars in Cancer, may highlight insecurities and intense emotions that require processing to move forward. By month’s end, the Moon joins the Sun in Sagittarius, and Mercury progresses through Scorpio, easing our struggles and revealing a new path ahead. This New Moon aligns with Pūrvāṣāḍha, a lunar mansion symbolizing purification and invincibility. Ruled by Apas, the goddess of water, it reflects a need for renewal and reinvigoration. Pūrvāṣāḍha brings optimism, joy, and breakthroughs, symbolized by the elephant's tusk and its association with Ganesa, the remover of obstacles. While this New Moon carries hints of conflict—often tied to Pūrvāṣāḍha's meaning of “declarations of war”—it also signals vital developments that reveal the truth, a key theme of Sagittarius. The truth will prevail, and this is only the beginning.…

The Full Moon in sidereal Taurus, its exaltation sign, conjunct Jupiter at the midpoint of its retrograde, brings an emotional high. Following the dark Moon in Scorpio, this Full Moon is positive overall, with Mercury stationing and instilling excitement. The Venus-Mars opposition, with Mars retrograde in Cancer, the Moon’s sign, adds intensity. However, Taurus steadies the mind, offering stability amidst any emotional turbulence. Falling in Mṛgaśirṣā ("deer head"), this Moon reflects curiosity, creativity, and a gentle, vigilant nature. Ruled by Soma, the Moon god associated with healing and medicine, this is a favourable time for travel and renewal. Jupiter’s and Mercury’s retrogrades encourage us to plan ahead yet embrace delays and detours as potential sources of joy and growth. With Mars “out of bounds” and retrograde in the coming weeks, this Full Moon invites us to explore beyond our comfort zones. Steady yet adventurous, Taurus’s influence supports us in wandering off course and discovering unexpected treasures along the way.…
