The Moon is full at 9° Pisces at 17:49 BST on September 26, in Uttara Bhādrapada. Uttara Bhādrapada is associated with the “serpent of the deep”: an image of slow change beneath the surface. This may describe shifts within the psyche, but it also brings to mind changes in the oceans, including concerns about the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC). Saturn returns to this lunar mansion in October, while Neptune continues its transit there. To me, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction here earlier this year marked a tipping point in the ocean temperatures. This Full Moon may help you recognise what is changing in your own life and what must give way. Pisces speaks of endings that make room for something else. Look at Pisces from both your rising sign and Moon sign. As the tides shift, something long buried may come into view. With Jupiter, ruler of Pisces, exalted and aspecting the Moon, there is an opportunity to see what is real more clearly, beyond fear (Saturn) or fantasy (Neptune).

Full Moon in Pisces (Uttara Bhādrapada)

The Moon reaches the Sun’s degree on September 11 at 04:27 BST/ 23:27 EDT. This New Moon occurs in Pūrva Phalgunī, the lunar mansion ruled by Bhaga, the god of enjoyment and creativity. It is one of the zodiac’s most pleasurable and creative spaces. Those with the Moon here often delight in artistic expression, romance and pleasures of the bed. Procreation is itself a form of creativity, although this energy can find expression through many creative pursuits.Whatever Leo represents for you is where you’re likely to find greater enjoyment. Although the Sun and Moon have passed the South Node, some uncertainty may remain. Yet the Sun is now far enough beyond it to bring greater clarity and confidence. With Mercury and Venus strong in their own signs, and exalted Jupiter supporting this New Moon, this may be one of the most auspicious lunar months of 2026.However, this is the calm before the storm, both literally and figuratively. Make the most of it by planting seeds for a creative endeavour. This New Moon is more likely to inspire new ideas, especially with both Mercury and Jupiter exalted. Venus in Libra adds to the month’s potential rewards. Whatever you begin, however, keep Venus’ retrograde in October in mind. You may need to revisit your plans and reconsider where you compromised too much to get started.In the coming lunar month, creativity may mean tearing up the original plan and beginning again.

New Moon in Leo (Pūrva Phalgunī)

In the latest episode of Maps of Consciousness, Kishori and I explore Maghā, Pūrva Phalgunī and Uttara Phalgunī, the three nakṣatras of sidereal Leo. We consider the journey from ancestral power and inherited authority to pleasure, creativity, and the commitment that sustains our relationships.

In this episode, I'm joined by Darinka Maja as we explore the volatile conjunctions of Mars, Jupiter and Ketu as they gather in Leo and eventually backtrack into Cancer. We consider what this unusual alignment could mean for each sidereal sign, as well as for conflict, politics, the economy and global security.The practice of backburning—deliberately burning the land ahead of an advancing fire—offers an important metaphor. Can a controlled crisis prevent something worse, or might an attempt to contain the flames cause them to spread? These transits suggest that actions intended to protect, correct or regain control could produce unforeseen consequences.

Backburning: Mars, Jupiter and Ketu

This New Moon in Aquarius falls in Dhaniṣṭhā and takes the form of an annular solar eclipse. This is a highly charged reset. The eclipse is hemmed in by powerful planetary forces: Mars and Pluto on one side, Saturn and Neptune on the other, with Venus exactly conjunct Rahu. Mercury is drawn into the mix, while Jupiter aspects from Gemini and is itself aspected by Rahu. Everything is activated.Even without the eclipse, the Saturn–Neptune conjunction signals profound shifts in global structures. Although the eclipse path is largely over Antarctica, symbolism matters: previously unseen landscapes are being revealed even here, mirroring how hidden realities are coming to light elsewhere.Dhaniṣṭhā is ruled by the Vasudevas, the eight elemental deities that together provide everything needed to accomplish a goal. For this reason, it is closely tied to alliances, coordination, and collective purpose - an Aquarius theme. Under an eclipse, however, some alliances are breaking while others are forged. These changes rarely occur on the exact date; the eclipse serves as a pivot point for developments already underway and those yet to unfold.Globally, this points to major realignments in power blocs and partnerships, with organisations such as NATO being one visible expression. Seismic activity may also accompany this period, but it may also simply be figurative. Personally, this eclipse asks you to observe how all the elements in this area of your life are coming together - or falling apart - so that something can be reconfigured. Eclipses mark changes that must happen, regardless of preference, and emotions tend to run high around them.By the lunar eclipse on March 3, you’re more likely to reach clarity or resolution around what this reset has set in motion.The night before the New Moon and eclipse, the 14th lunar day of the dark fortnight, is called Mahā-Śivarātri, the ‘great night of Śiva’. Śiva wears the crescent Moon in his hair, a symbol of the Moon's resetting of time. This year, this is an even more powerful reset because it’s an eclipse; a vigil at the edge of dissolution, where everything falls silent for a time.

Remedies for the SUN

The total solar eclipse on July 2, 2019 opened up the possibility for change, with the possibility of integrating the changes if we are more conscious. However, it could just as easily leave us unable to integrate parts of ourselves and create two types of shadows; the things we get addicted (North Node) and allergic (South Node) to.

Although there are a multitude of reasons someone might seek an astrology reading, it really boils down to just three basic impulses. These are known as the three gunas of Vedic philosophy; tamas, rajas and sattva, and every question you ask in a reading has its basis in one or more of these.

The 3 Reasons People Seek an Astrology Reading

Ketu is seen by many Vedic astrologers to be exalted in Sagittarius. Although Ketu’s conjunction with Saturn in Sagittarius shows other complex dynamics, it is generally tipped in favour of wild abandon and ideological fervour. We must eventually move beyond our points of view to a more objective appraisal, just as Capricorn follows Sagittarius in zodiacal order.
