The Full Moon in Maghā lunar mansion within sidereal Leo symbolizes ancestral power and entitlement. And while this period might enhance feelings of pride and privilege, this must be balanced with the Sun's conjunction with Saturn in Aquarius, emphasizing the need for humility.

Despite Leo's typical association with enjoyment, Saturn's conjunction with the Sun discourages bold statements or expressions of wealth and power.

Maghā is ruled by the forefathers, connecting it to the spiritual realms, when we can give thanks to those who have gone before us, so they can open up doors ahead of us.

With our hands on our hearts ...

The New Moon acts as a catalyst for the Mars-Pluto conjunction, intensifying our subconscious drives. These drives may manifest in ways that seem inappropriate to others, but could be what is needed. Mars symbolizes our instinct to defend against threats, while Pluto deepens this instinct, often concealing our true motivations.

This period occurs under the influence of the Dhaniṣṭhā lunar mansion, a position where Mars is particularly strong. Dhaniṣṭhā, meaning "wealthy," signifies abundance in all forms, not just financial. It is governed by the elemental demigods of nature and the cosmos, including the polestar, sky, wind, water, earth, pre-dawn, fire, and the Moon. This reflects the idea that true wealth encompasses all areas of life.

Dhaniṣṭhā is represented by a drum and flute, symbols connecting it to music, rhythm, and sound, suggesting that the Moon's transit through Dhaniṣṭhā is an auspicious time for music, dance, and ceremonies.

The New Moon's position in Dhaniṣṭhā, combined with the Mars-Pluto conjunction, marks a moment for making bold declarations. Expressing these declarations aloud may bring clarity and insight into your intentions and desires.

This Full Moon marks a period of resolution for the big ideas and ideals begun around the New Moon on Jan 11. This is when these ideas seek fulfilment in a practical way with the Sun in Capricorn, as we find more of a work-life balance with the Moon opposite in Cancer.

The Full Moon in Puṣya lunar mansion (Cancer), symbolized by a cow's udder, underscores themes of nourishment and growth. But what thoughts are you nurturing?

This highlights the importance of a balance between worldly ambitions (Capricorn) and connecting to your heart’s desires (Cancer). While it's not balanced to avoid your feelings to fulfill your ambitions, neither is it balanced to only think about how you feel and never do what you know you probably should.

This Full Moon is a reminder about what you should do but also how essential it is to nurture yourself while you do it.

A sneak peek into the year ahead, including Uranus' ingress into Taurus alongside Jupiter, as Mars triggers all the slower moving planets and bigger themes in the more immediate timeframe.

2024 will see big changes that are more easily implemented. This is largely due to Uranus moving into a trine to Pluto, after holding a stalemate in the square to Pluto since 2020.

Kishori joins me for our Maps of Consciousness series, exploring Rahu and the heart of the matter in Leo, the majesty and power of this 'regal' sign.

Jeanette 'Kishori' McKenzie joins me to continue our Maps of Consciousness series and a journey through the signs of the zodiac with Rahu, our "beloved opponent." In this episode, we explore the precision that is possible with Rahu in Virgo, while allowing every little thing to be just as it is.

This is a complex piece of the zodiac pie, a volatile juncture between Cancer and Leo, where Mars, Venus, Mercury, and the Sun all transit in Jul/Aug. It’s as if they are crossing a gap in the zodiac, where all seems lost for a time, especially for those experiencing the more literal expression of this loss.

This is a time to look at our attachments; what or who we attach ourselves to, and how we manipulate others to get what we want. When the Moon transits Āśleṣā, it's a good day for secret knowledge, removing poisons, and treating disease. It’s a good time to rid ourselves of behaviours and relationships that are toxic.

​The New Moon and lunar month begins in Punarvasu lunar mansion. Punarvasu, meaning 'light again', represents a return to clarity as the Moon meets the Sun upon entering Sidereal Cancer. Themes of repeating something are highlighted.

This New Moon is ruled by Aditi, the goddess of infinity. When we can step out of our space-time reality, we can simply be - and we can experience our wishes manifest instantaneously. There's no time lag. Punarvasu's symbol is a bow and arrows, reflecting our need to be precise in directing our thoughts, seeing them return instantly through manifestations.

The Pluto opposition to this New Moon is the hidden part we must acknowledge, our fears of not having or, indeed, having, what we want. Fear is at least a good focusing mechanism. Combined with Mars' opposition to Saturn at this time, we can focus all our energy and attention on getting clear and starting again.

Absolutely, yes - and no.
