Lunar Cycle in Vedic Astrology Achala Sylwia Mihajlovic

After recent transformative Full Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra, we are going to experience in a few days one of the most powerful New Moons in this year: New Moon in Rohini Nakshatra, at the heart of sidereal Taurus, culminating with 5 planetary conjuction - the New Moon, which is also known as Shani Amavasya.

With all 3 sattvic planets conjuct with 2 rajasic ones in Taurus, and preceded by a sequences of 3 tamasic grahas, we may expect that our tamasic & rajasic qualities may temporarily overshadow our sattvic qualities, such as peacefulness, compassion or rational thinking. We will be much more inclined to listen to our selfish desires and stormy emotions, than to the inner voice of insight. It is a very good time for intensifying our spiritual practice, so that we may stay more centred in the heart during this period.

One of the most complex Full Moons of the year is fast approaching. This fortnight, beginning with Jupiter’s transit into Taurus and auspicious day of Akshaya Tritiya, will culminate with Full Moon in Anuradha Nakshatra, at the heart of sidereal Scorpio, where Moon experiences its debilitation. 

In opposition to the Moon, Sun will be experiencing a complex conjunction with Venus and Jupiter, both of which will reach the state of planetary war during the Full Moon day itself. In times like that, when luminaries & sattvic grahas struggle, being overpowered by Venus, the planet of desires, we too may experience our own temptations to do the “easy thing” rather than the “right thing”. 

Full Moon shining in Anuradha nakshatra may also bring to the surface of our awareness many suppressed emotions and desires, while simultaneously it will inspire us to review our commitments and priorities. An incredibly powerful time for honest introspection.

Upcoming New Moon in Bharani Nakshatra will be inspiring us to let go of some outdated parts of ourselves, release the grip from our desire to control the flow of life, and surrender a little more. With Sun exalted throughout this entire dark fortnight, it is a perfect time to look within and confront our shadows, as we will be seeing them more clearly right now, while simultaneously being inspired to transcend them. It might be a little tense time when it comes to our relations with other people, though, which happens often when our own shadows come on the surface. Try to avoid judging yourself to others in this time period and practice conscious compassion.

In a few days we are about to experience a particularly powerful Full Moon in sidereal Libra (symbolic of our heart chakra), aspected by Jupiter and exalted Sun, with Libra’s dispositor, Venus, shining in full exaltation. Both Venus and Sun will be at maximum exaltation during the Full Moon itself, which makes this fortnight a particularly powerful time for creative endeavours and opening our minds and hearts for new waves of energy.

In two weeks (8 April) we are going to experience a powerful Total Solar Eclipse in Revati Nakshatra in sidereal Pisces, where Sun, Moon and Rahu, along with exalted Venus, will be conjuct together. It’s going to make this lunar fortnight particularly spiritually charged and make us all more inspired to dive within and connect with the Divine. 

Venus exalted around the luminaries with Rahu also indicates that it is a powerful time to work on opening our heart, cultivating compassion and consciously choose to let go and forgive, as universe is going to support us in that during those days. But, as it often is, if we rather choose to resist, that very process of opening the heart may manifest in a more painful or stressful way.

This bright fortnight will lead us up to the first eclipse of this year, which will coincide with a particularly auspicious Full Moon, known as appearance day of Goddess Lakshmi. This makes this entire fortnight particularly sacred for Mother Lakshmi and Goddess Kamalatmika. It is a powerful time to connect with our intuitive power and learn how to trust our instincts more than our mind.
