Intense Gemini New Moon
The New Moon is the start of a new cycle of energy that runs a course over the two weeks following it. This particular New Moon finds three sattvic planets ~ Sun, Moon & Jupiter ~ conjunct within 1 degree of each other in Gemini, in Ardra Nakshatra (star). Ardra is a rather intense Nakshatra represented by a tear drop and a fierce form of Shiva known as Rudra. Ardra is associated with pain, but it is the kind of pain we must walk through in order to truly transform into new versions of ourselves.
Full Moon 15.12.24
FULL MOON December 15th,, 2024 at 1:05am PST
The Full Moon is exalted in Taurus where it will align with the Nakshatra of Mrigashirsha. When the Moon is exalted, it receives a lot of energy from its placement. Therefore, our minds may feel more energized, awake and bright during this time. The Moon represents our mental wellness, our emotions and our general ability to experience happiness. All of these aspects of self will receive a boost of energy, and as Taurus is ruled by Venus, we may also experience a energetic charge around our creativity, pleasure senses, sensuality and the desire to express how we feel.
