The New Moon falls in sidereal Leo and the lunar mansion Maghā. I call it 'The Mighty One'. Its symbols are a royal throne and crown, which denote power, privilege, and entitlement. It is ruled by the ancestors, who grant us whatever privilege we have.

Even when we don’t have something we think we should, we feel entitled to complain about it. When this impulse becomes exaggerated, as it will be for this New Moon and subsequent eclipses, powerful figures who misuse their positions are exposed. We could see someone lose their position because of this in the coming months.

With Ketu moving through Leo in 2025 and 2026—moving through Maghā in 2026—it strips away entitlements that are not aligned with the greater good (Rāhu in Aquarius). From another, more spiritual perspective, Ketu reminds us that nothing and no one belongs to us. We’re just passing through. Everything is eventually taken back, leaving only the unchanging witness within.
