Mauni Amāvásyā अमावस्या finds it’s culmination in the Vedic lunar mansion of Dhaniṣṭha (sidereal Capricorn), the Star of Symphony on Thursday afternoon (15:00 PST) and in the pre-dawn hours on the 10th in India (4:30am IST).
The new moon flavors the energies for the next lunation cycle to come. This cycle heralds a period where receptivity complements focused determination and disciplined efforts. Embrace the energy to initiate practical endeavors, cultivate leadership qualities, and achieve long-term goals with a steady and patient approach.
Tension, chaos, resistance and conflict — we’ve been reviewing, course correcting, and patiently clearing the way for a new chapter to begin. A different tune plays now, the rhythm has increased and the pace is propelling you towards the vision which has been calling your heart forward.
As you begin to stabilize new found realizations and step closer into right relationship with Self, notice what’s moving through you now. This dark moon is accompanied by a highly energized mars, which may be flooding your mind with new ideas or pulling you in multiple directions.
This chaos is as ancient as the story woven by your ancestors and is an integral part of your evolutionary journey. How can you respond to the dream differently than before? All outside conflict must first be resolved within. Lean into the grace of that which you do not prefer and attune more fully with your souls rhythm.
Mauni meaning silence, reminds us to lean into a soothing pause a few more days until the moon gains momentum before proceeding with your plans. Get clear in who you are, what you will and will not tolerate, and bring your truth out into the world from a grounded and clear place — be decisive, choose a direction, and work selflessly.
Just like the drum, which is the symbol for this affluent asterism, when we become a conduit for Source, when we can become like a hallow bone, the rhythms of the universe can flow through us more effortlessly. Step into your receptivity and trust in the presence of the Unknown.

The day after the new moon begins the Chinese New Year of the Wood Dragon -- a year of new beginnings, remembering your magic, claiming your power, being innovative, believing in yourself, finding your strength and for making bold moves. Looking forward to witnessing the beautiful magic you’ll be creating in this coming year!
