Magic moon FULL musings and astrology for the MAY Full moon 2024.

Lets talk about this full moons nakshatra .

Anuradha

For those more familiar with the tropical western Zodiac the location of this nakshatra begins right at the tail end of scorpio at 27°06'  and finishes at 10°26'  of Tropical Sagittarius

According to the Vedic calculations the zodiac is moving backwards along with the stars and therefore the Nakshatra Anuradha is located entirely in Scorpio   : 3°20' - 16°40' Vrishchika



Regardless of system when we talk about the nakshatras we are pointing at the same portion of skies and its just the coordinates that change



For any astronmers out there Anuradha is composed of 3 stars in the Scorpius constellation : -Alpha, Delta and Pi. Scorpii. These form a straight line above the red giant Antares 



often referred to as the stars of success  it is thought this asterism can bestow fame a recognition that develops through collaboration and joining together.. one simple translation of Anuradha  - is Another Radha 



Radha 

Is the Goddess of love, compassion and devotion  



it is no coincidence that Anuradha nakshatra  is located Directly opposite Rohini the birthstar of Krishna –  Radha Krishnas love is beyond convention 



These heavenly counterparts are really one



Anuradha or Another love is an asterism that is to do with Waking up to what love really is 



Anuradha can also mean EVERYTHING is Radha 

And if Everything is Radha

Everything is love



This full moon is divinely connected  to a group of stars that are to do with devotion, dedication and  friendship although when the moon is enthroned in Sidereal Scorpio she is debilitated and so I feel this placement has the potential to bring up quite a lot of intensity and perhaps even dirt as difficult emotions are drawn to the surface –  this is a cleansing and an opportunity to release whatever has been stuck for a long time 



This full moon will likely feel especially extreme for those with strong Scorpio or Taurus placements in their birth charts  – have look in your sidereal chart if you have any planetary placements in these signs and also pay attention to the houses that contain Scorpio and Taurus in your natal chart because these placements  will highlight a part of your life that is undergoing a profound and deep transformation… emotions heightened this can become a catalyst for deep healing as our attention is drawn towards unhealthy patterns and destructive attachments that may have once been mistaken for love… this is a potent full moon for transmuting negative forces  and healing deep wounds

If you’re new to Sidereal or Vedic astrology as well as the 12 zodiac signs the sky is further broken down into 27 smaller divisions   these are the lunar mansions – each is associated with one or more stars –  these are the Nakshatras… 
In Sidereal or Vedic astrology  the zodiac itself is more or less aligned to the astronomical placement of the stars because the calculations account for the precession of the equinoxes .. meaning the signs  are moving backwards by a degree every 72 years
All new moons mark the start of a new lunation-  new moon to new moon setting a precedence, a flavour really for the MOONTH… This May 2024 new moon takes place in the UK on Wed 8th at 04:22 in the morning. According to Indian tradition the new moon day is known as Amavasya. So on these days the moon doesn’t appear in the sky because the sun and moon are positioned on the same side of Earth -  there is nothing to illuminate the face of the moon at this time… the physical bodies of the sun and the moon are millions of miles apart however metaphysically the two energies merge as moon gives herself up and disappears into the sun - 
when the two merge at the exact same degree this  technically becomes a dark moon –  this is not an eclipse because the orbit of the path of the moon is on an incline and so will be slightly too high or too low to block out the light of sun from our earthly point of view 
this new moon merger will happen in the nakshatra Bharani. 
In Sidereal Astrology Bharani is located at 13° 20′ – 26°40′ of Aries or Mesha - The RAM
If you are more familiar with Western astrology then Bharani is situated : 9° 20′ – 22° 40′ of Tropical Taurus or Vrishabha – The BULL
Regardless of zodiac system we are pointing at the same portion of skies when we speak of the nakhatras – astronomically speaking the associated stars are 35, 39, and 41Arietis which form a small triangle just in the Aries constellation 
Bharani meaning the Bearer famously carries the iconography of the Yoni – this is the sexual and the reproductive anatomy of a woman  – embodying the cosmic womb of creation… this symbolism uncannily corresponds very well to the imagagry of the Rams head with the spiral horns which I spoke of probably a year or so ago in an older video. 
The force of Bharani is feminine, fiery,primal,  untamable and arresting
This force is the potency of the GODDESS
The ancient deity behind this nakshatra is Yama –  for anyone who practices yoga you may well recognise this word from The yoga sutras of Patanjali – the yamas, in this context are the restraints, the areas in life that according to patanjalis yoga sutras require self discipline…and control… yama is the force of death itself – an energy so powerful it has the last say, a power that is beyond our limits – beyond human boundaries - the energy of Bharani is as weighty as the force that bears life and as serious as death 
This is also a reminder, Life and death are two sides of the same coin existing  because of each other, each giving rise to the other
There’s a maternal strength behind the power of this new moon’s nakshatra, this is a feminine force that is PURE and unfiltered and RAW. 
This new moon and the energies and days surrounjng it are powerful for the conception of new ideas and electrifying for new beginnings as the old is released and a fresh exhilarating energy is stirred in to the collective cauldron.
Yama – the restrainer reminds us that wishing on stars alone is never enough to realise our dreams and that it requires discipline and dedication on our part – whatever our desires may be we have to be serious enough to do whatever it takes. You never know you may even be met half way with a little bit of divine grace.

Vedic INSPIRED Astrology and MOON FULL insights

This April full moon is a marker really that indicates the end of eclipse season – ripples of which I think will be heightened around the full moon – 🌝 eclipse energy is dripping with magic…and often brings about change as well as  remarkable surprises and the  unexpected…

This full moon will be positioned in a portion of heavens that is to do with independence , intelligence and breaking away from the status quo  and is reflecting an energy of freedom, release and bursting through into something fresh and authentic…

This full moon is encouraging us to feel into our own inner compass and be brave enough to follow the direction that it takes us in – even if that means deviating away from the familiar and moving and acting in a different way to what we are used to. 🪸

One of the symbols behind Swati nakshatra is Coral – jewel of the seas created bit by bit as layer upon layer over centuries takes a new form.

Just because radical changes don’t appear over night it doesn’t mean that a magical transformation isn’t happening – coral takes time to grow into its true magnificence 🤍

The full April moon in Swati is a signpost, a reminder that we are about to be swept up in the winds of change. If things haven’t been moving for you - they soon will be. 😉✨

This full moon in Swati is offering a full circle of Protection against any personal threats and battles  inside and out… sometimes symbolized by the sword - this Nakshatra is not about waging war. The mind is mightier than any weapon. This is a sword of truth that has the penetrating power of a divine intelligence ✨✨✨

Mercury - karmic knots and the eclipse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBwEW...

There are Secrets in the shadows. Eclipses are THE portal for change.
What frequency are you holding ?

This full moon will happen in the U.K. on Monday morning and so will appear just about full in the Sky on both the Sunday 24 and Monday 25 March

This full moon and lunar eclipse also falls at the same day as the Indian celebrations of HOLI which is known as the festival of colours.. This is a jubilant celebration in honour of the light that is sure to expel darkness as well as the love of the divine masculine and feminine Radha and Krishna the ultimate pairing.

It’s time to shed negativity and let go , to be free to embrace the love that surrounds us all.. for those in the northern hemisphere this is the initiation of springtime, the festivities welcoming in new life

Whilst celebrated differently

Echos of similar observances can be seen cross culturally around the time of the Equinox or just after .. these holy festivals, rituals and celebrations of course reflect the seasons too … if you are in the Southern hemisphere then traditions attached to the seasons will be in reverse

Whilst legends , stories, practices and customs may be different in content
There is an essence and a truth that stays the same . A universal theme that bubbles through all of us no matter where on earth we stand.

This full moon when at 100 percent illumination will fall into the arms of Hasta Nakshatra. This lunar mansion corresponds to a group of stars which in astronomy are referred to as Alpha, Beta , Delta, Gamma and Epsilon Corvi

Situated just below SPICA

Completely in the constellation Virgo these FIVE stars represent the five digits on a hand..

Regardless of your preference of zodiac system the nakshatras remain as they are it is just the coordinates that change but we are still talking about the same portion of space

According to western zodiac calculations This asterism spans 6° – 19° 20′ of the Tropical sign of Libra
The Vedic calculations which are more or less aligned with the stars themselves have Hastha entirely in the constellation of Virgo that is 10° – 23°20′ also known as Kanya in Sanskrit

This full moon enthroned in sidereal Virgo is placed in a mercury ruled sign which signifies The mind
Hastha represents the hand

The hand is an extension of the heart
Are you bowing your mind to yours?

What are you holding??
What are you giving?
What are you receiving?
What are you letting go of?

What are you carrying in your hands and your heart?
Whose hands are they really??

New moons  notoriously are a perfect time to rest…so if you do feel tired and heavy don’t fight it - allow yourself some space and quiet to recouperate. 
This dark or new moon  especially is not a time for beginning anything –  this new moon is supercharged for finishing things off, for closure… and drawing a line in the sand – seasonally speaking in the northern hemisphere this is a final farewell, a last goodbye to winter before we cross into the light half of the year just after the equinox on the 20th  – there is always an alternative vista and for those in the Southern hemisphere the reverse is true… regardless of location, this new moon is to do with saying goodbye to what we know, to let go of all of it
Theres an usual, enigmatic feel to this new moon – enthroned in one of 27 lunar mansions… this new moons portion of the heavens is connected to the constellation  known in astronomy as Pegasus – named after the winged horse from Ancient Greek myth
Rising  unbeaten unbridled out of starry depths … 
In Sanskrit this asterism is known as Purva Bhadrapada and is a part of a pair… 

The Degree Range of this nakshatra is - 20° Aquarius - 3°20’ Pisces according to the sidereal zodiac 
For those more familiar with the tropical signs…  this nakshatra begins at 14°07’ Pisces 27°27’ Pisces 
Just as a side note both sets of coordinates point to the same portions of space – it is the signs of each system that no longer marry up as over the past 2000 years the two have separated by about 24 degrees as the Sidereal zodiac is slowly precessing backwards along with the stars themselves

The literal meaning of Purva Bhadrapada mysteriously  means the former one with the lucky feet –
One of the icons of this nakshatra is the front two legs of a funeral cot – (its counterpart uttara Bhadrapada of course represents the rear two legs)

This strange iconography is signifying the start of a transition from one world to the next – whilst this may seem far from lucky and perhaps a little sad or macabre this image  is symbolic of those first baby steps taken towards freedom

True freedom is not about sugar coating what we don’t like the look of… sometimes we need to face the reality and deal with what is truly going on

The energies surrounding this new moon may feel a a little sorrowful, there may be some murky weighty feelings that come up possibly even triggering a sense of regret, Remorse or injustice . Some will experrince a strong sense of finality and endings. 
The sign of Aquarius, the seat of this new moon is symbolized by a man pouring out a pitcher of water 
Sacrifice your sadness to this new moon… give it up to a higher power– and allow it to all pour out if it needs to...
This is the Detoxification
The forces behind this March new moon suggests that this lunation is partly to do with rehabilitation and Cutting away from damaging thoughts, habits, toxic environments and poisonous people

Remember the rule of ahimsa, non harm and Feel the gratification in Saying goodbye and good riddance if you need to, sometimes it’s ourselves that become or own worst enemies…
Let go of what is no longer working
Release what is hurting you 

Thanks so much for listening
