The best

Tonight,
I'm motivated by the way you move
Got me fixated on everything you do
Ain't no bussin' to the music without you
I could be Van Gogh, shawty, if you'd be my muse
Don't go dressin' up for anyone but me
You got poet dreams in every word you speakin'
I could go skyrocket if you light the fuse
I could be Van Gogh ~METTE

As we enter the darkness of the new moon cycle, the new moon before the upcoming eclipse cycle on the 18th, we step under the marriage trellis of Purva Phalguni. This moon governed by our planet of love Venus has a lot to impart in the sky, and on us, at the moment. Venus, the teacher to the material world, is in Virgo, a sign of debilitation, and is very close to Ketu (the past karmic axis). There is critical karma at work in all we do in relationships presently.

Now, I have read countless articles about endings in relationships over the next month - but I would like to counter some of this drama and add my piece. I see it more like this is a liberating time in our relationships. Think about your past patterns in relating. Particularly analyse where you repeat similar mistakes, where you suffer, where you don't act in virtue (or allow others to) and now we enter a phase to heal and perfect this. Virgo after all is seeking perfection. Now you can understand why Venus isn't happy all the time in this sign due to the beautifully imperfect nature of love and relating - it's inherently messy - but for now we need to follow the sky and see the healing involved here. Sure there may be detachments needed if there is denial or an uncovering of illusion to truth, but it could also more likely be an ending to an old trauma or inner deception with a cathartic release.

This is a very creative new moon seeking union and procreation in our lives. With this there is a balancing of energies and a commitment to it. At worst this could be a good new moon just to relax and rest at best a time to create an artistic masterpiece or express your love and feel all the romantic feels. The marriage of Shiva and Parvati under the celestial trellis begins under the month of this moon and favours union of all kinds. So even though there is some letting go and detachments upcoming (especially with the next full moon and new moon) it may not be as doom and gloom as being shouted about town. There is most certainly some karmic blasts coming (more on that to follow soon) but this new moon please enjoy yourself.

Stay light,
Mark ​:)
