The new moon of December aligns the sun and moon on the 12th/13th in Jyeṣṭhā ज्येष्ठा (Scorpio), the Elder Star. This constellation, standing at the pinnacle of material success and shining as the 14th brightest star in the sky (Antares), is symbolized by a protective amulet. Jyeṣṭhā awakens the power to conquer the subconscious, urging us to step up as authorities and commit to our responsibilities.⠀

Since the culmination of the eclipse season in late October, we've traversed a transformative rite of passage, reshaping the way we perceive and engage with the world. This eagerly anticipated shift in awareness has now manifested, and things may not be unfolding as initially anticipated.

Jyeṣṭhā prospers through the right use of natural law and invites us to embrace spiritual practices, mindful movement, occult knowledge, intuition, and prayer to ground ourselves and find stability. Don't shy away from this opportunity for growth, even if it feels uncomfortable. Observe the unfolding story with patience. Ground yourself and act from a place of clarity, truth, and confidence. What responsibilities are emerging that call for your commitment?

Mercury embarks on its retrograde journey in Pūrvāṣāḍhā (Sagittarius) on the new moon day, retracing its steps through Scorpio on the 28th, and turning direct again on January 1st. This retrograde period urges us to unravel the lyrical nuances of our thoughts and traverse the sagacious corridors of introspection. It invites a deeper reflection on our personal beliefs and prompts a revisit to old projects we may have set on the back burner.
