 Every lunar mansion or section of the sky has a shakti. Shakti is the power, force or consciousness of something. In this case we are talking about a Dhanishta full moon tonight with the shakti to bring fame. In many ways this is a very celebrity part of the sky. But to be a celebrity it takes a team to promote, support and monetize. Basically to get the word out about you - to make people see you and like you. Many people are talented but without the right publicity not a lot usually happens. It's who you know, how you network and how you bring the right resources together for success.
That being said these days are a little fraught for celebrities. Now that everyone can be an at home celebrity armed with an ever ready opinionative keyboard at their fingertips the royal Hollywood elite seem to have lost their shine and are up for constant criticism. In fact aren't we all. You only have to read the comment section of any post to see the sometimes humourous, sometimes cruel reflections of society. Yet at the same time we are now more instantly accountable and aren't controlled completely in the marketing rhetoric of the past. How is your image at the moment? The full moon being in the same rashi (sign) as a retrograde Saturn is saying you may be reflecting on what you are putting out there. Your public persona, your brand, your image. It may be time to change it or better it. With Saturn it usually means being more honest and integrous. If it's in alignment this may be a successful time for you. The Sun opposite the moon (joined by a retrograded Mercury) in Magha says the key to empowerment is through reclaiming something from the past, family or ancestors. A going back to your roots rather than cutting them off sort of vibe. Remembering where you came from and honouring that is the key to your success right now.

 Sunday eve we enter the void of the new moon. An Ashlesha moon is a no bs one. You may feel the potency already and instead of the wind down/introversion of other new moons this one feels a little feisty. I'd like to introduce you to my friend the snake. And before you think I'm being inappropriate (there are other platforms for that for you to become the only fan of) and in some ways this isn't the wrong setup to where I'm going. A snake is a mysterious, misunderstood, alluring, hypnotic and potentially very dangerous creature. The way she shines in the right light, the way he is compared to phallus. In this animal we see the good, the bad and the shadow.
The nagas in the vedic tradition are half human half serpent and live under the earth or water. They represent the riches of the subconscious and the eternity of the universe. And of course we cannot mention snakes without referencing the kundalini, the shakti that lies at our root chakra. There is a multitude of power to uncover here this new moon. But let's get to the warning arising. Ashlesha is bringing the tongue of the snake (with its venom) to us all this weekend. This allows us to paralyze our enemies (outer or inner) of an agitating aspect in your life/mind atm. There is a destructive element to this snake energy so CAUTION is advised. Especially with what you say - particularly to others - though we can be even more so destructive with our inner critic too. So my main word of counsel here is to bite your tongue if you're feeling particularly fired up. Let it go through your body - cardio, dancing, sex etc - then revisit it after the weekend and see if you still need to express. Of course if you are in a negative situation this is all the jet fuel you need to destroy whatever is in your way. This is the new moon before our good friend Mercury turns retrograde on August 5th. Those with Gemini and Virgo ascendants or moon - it's time to get freaky again. This retrograde is a turning point for us all regardless of ascendant and signals a change of gear for the second half of the year. Get your affairs in order and I'll meet you on the roller coaster. Stay light, Mark :) #astrology #vedicastrology #jyotish #newmoon #astrologersofinstagram |
