In the sophisticated realm of Scorpio, aligned with Mars and the Sun the dark Moon is led inward at 26° into a restless churning. The heat and friction of self-concepts unravelled where honesty is the medicine. This is a cycle that is not peaceful or quiet. But rather an energy that requires strength and reliance on personal willpower to overcome.

Jyesthha Nakshatra ruled by Indra the seat of power and connected to Alakshmi (the elder sister of Lakshmi) the one who tests the boundaries of non-compliance and rebellion in search of self-definition. Both carry the desire and aim to be first.

The Sun and Mars form a powerful Yoga as does the Moon and Mars both are yogas of force and success. All in the Agni (fire) tattva the fire of vision and the endless ‘appetite’’ to conquer’’.

Scorpio is the inhalation of Shiva and in Jyeshtha nakshatra is where Shukracharya the master of occult secrets and sciences was born. The energy is ripe for making leaps in your journey of self-discovery including your gifts, to make progress in your sadhana and practice. The gifts and jewels you cultivate that travel lifetimes with you.

Second from the New Moon is Mercury is stationed in preparation to go retrograde on the 13th. Venus is 12th from the Moon. Good indicators of gifts received from devotion and practice. Mercury is occult this is forgotten in ‘’modern’’ astrology it is downgraded and meme’d. Mercury is the spinal column and Venus is the spinal fluid. With Mercury  2nd from the Moon in the house of speech and desire. Consider what you speak into form. Hint* Good for Tapsya & Japa. 

December’s lunar cycle from New to Full Moon may bring an atmosphere of building headstrong intensity that reaches a breaking point that opens up revitalizing new beginnings and new growth.

 If consciousness is elevated, it will be divine. In the throws of conflict become peace. It is the churning of Jyeshtha trials and tribulations that lead to the real desire of Lakshmi to merge.

Wishing you a transformative new Moon cycle
