NEW MOON
अमावस्या
March’s amāvásyā draws the Sun and Moon together in the Vedic Lunar mansion of Pūrva Bhādrapadā पूर्वभाद्रपदा (Aquarius), the Burning Pair.
This potent new moon heralds metamorphosis, as the asterism embodies rebirth, tapas (penance), perseverance, and transformative fires, igniting within us the power to elevate our spiritual energy.
We’re stepping into a dynamic couple of weeks before the first eclipse season in the Virgo / Pisces axis, commencing on the full moon (24/25). This transit requires careful handling and is defined by the goals we set for ourselves and our full commitment to them.
In the days leading up to the new moon, you may have been experiencing a lingering sense of anxiety, frustration, fatigue, impatience, and perhaps have felt more vulnerable than usual. Through increasing clarity, you’re coming to the realization that something needs to change, be transformed, or even let go of completely.
Confronting energies are motivating us to change, and the pace is picking up. Get clear and learn to channel this big energy wisely — instead of trying to match the pace, thinking it will speed up the process.

Keep your motivations in check and know that you may get a lot done during this time; however, success may take a little longer than expected, so stay the course. If you feel like rushing, rush like a royal elephant — one step at a time. An important lesson may be learned in the process.
Pūrva Bhādrapadā seeks to bridge heaven and earth, possessing the power to elevate and sacrifice. This sacrifice channels energy capable of producing and drawing down spiritual energy. Through tapasya (effort), this energy rises to melt and dissolve the veils obscuring the hidden moon within our minds, showering us with grace.
Through a shared vision of the future, we’re planting seeds now that will bear long-lasting ties — stay focused, patient, and disciplined.
