New moons notoriously are a perfect time to rest…so if you do feel tired and heavy don’t fight it - allow yourself some space and quiet to recouperate.
This dark or new moon especially is not a time for beginning anything – this new moon is supercharged for finishing things off, for closure… and drawing a line in the sand – seasonally speaking in the northern hemisphere this is a final farewell, a last goodbye to winter before we cross into the light half of the year just after the equinox on the 20th – there is always an alternative vista and for those in the Southern hemisphere the reverse is true… regardless of location, this new moon is to do with saying goodbye to what we know, to let go of all of it
Theres an usual, enigmatic feel to this new moon – enthroned in one of 27 lunar mansions… this new moons portion of the heavens is connected to the constellation known in astronomy as Pegasus – named after the winged horse from Ancient Greek myth
Rising unbeaten unbridled out of starry depths …
In Sanskrit this asterism is known as Purva Bhadrapada and is a part of a pair…
The Degree Range of this nakshatra is - 20° Aquarius - 3°20’ Pisces according to the sidereal zodiac
For those more familiar with the tropical signs… this nakshatra begins at 14°07’ Pisces 27°27’ Pisces
Just as a side note both sets of coordinates point to the same portions of space – it is the signs of each system that no longer marry up as over the past 2000 years the two have separated by about 24 degrees as the Sidereal zodiac is slowly precessing backwards along with the stars themselves
The literal meaning of Purva Bhadrapada mysteriously means the former one with the lucky feet –
One of the icons of this nakshatra is the front two legs of a funeral cot – (its counterpart uttara Bhadrapada of course represents the rear two legs)
This strange iconography is signifying the start of a transition from one world to the next – whilst this may seem far from lucky and perhaps a little sad or macabre this image is symbolic of those first baby steps taken towards freedom
True freedom is not about sugar coating what we don’t like the look of… sometimes we need to face the reality and deal with what is truly going on
The energies surrounding this new moon may feel a a little sorrowful, there may be some murky weighty feelings that come up possibly even triggering a sense of regret, Remorse or injustice . Some will experrince a strong sense of finality and endings.
The sign of Aquarius, the seat of this new moon is symbolized by a man pouring out a pitcher of water
Sacrifice your sadness to this new moon… give it up to a higher power– and allow it to all pour out if it needs to...
This is the Detoxification
The forces behind this March new moon suggests that this lunation is partly to do with rehabilitation and Cutting away from damaging thoughts, habits, toxic environments and poisonous people
Remember the rule of ahimsa, non harm and Feel the gratification in Saying goodbye and good riddance if you need to, sometimes it’s ourselves that become or own worst enemies…
Let go of what is no longer working
Release what is hurting you
Thanks so much for listening
