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.
Alchemy of December Energies
This retrograde season promises to bring a lot of insight, clarity, inspiration and change. It may be a bumpy and tough ride at times, but the challenges are ultimately there to help us grow, discover deeper meaning and realize higher purpose. This is a potent time of personal growth and transformation offering us the opportunity to expand beyond our previously accepted ideas of what is truly possible.
In all honesty, just about everyone I know and have been reading for is going through pretty rough times. A lot of deep questions about life purpose and meaning are rising up for people. It’s been a challenging year and promises to end with a bit of bang with this intense retrograde season. If this is true for you, it’s important that you know you are not alone.
