Full Moon at 17° Cancer, Sunday Feb 1st. This is according to sidereal or Vedic astrology.
Today’s powerful Full Moon is in the deeply mystical nakshatra called Ashlesha. It’s in the sign of Cancer, and it’s where the deep spirits of the Earth dwell in the form of snakes. There is poison here, but also the antidote, which is interesting to me. Ashlesha uses its sharp intellect and strong intuition to find its way through the world. It symbolizes great healing ability, and the power to control poison. This relates to medicines and substances of all kinds.
This Full Moon starts off the month of February with sensitivity, emotion, and spiritual opening. It’s encouraged to purify yourself by bathing or meditation. If needed, clear the air with someone and speak the truth. Let go of any poison you’re carrying in the form of thoughts, words or actions.
Current SIDEREAL placements. Sidereal is different than traditional tropical astrology, because it’s based on where the planets actually ARE in the constellations:
Sun at 0 Cancer Mercury at 20 Cancer Venus at 18 Taurus (in her rulership, good for Venus Magick) Mars at 21 Leo Jupiter at 13 Gemini (in detriment, no Jupiter Magick now) Saturn RETROGRADE at 7 Pisces Uranus at 6 Taurus Neptune RETROGRADE 7 Pisces (rulership) Pluto RETROGRADE at 8 Capricorn North Node at 25 Aquarius
The vedic astrological signatures for July are interesting, so much so I have to share what I’ve discovered! Let me know in the comments if you’ve found any of this happening in your life. The New Moon in Cancer will be Thursday, July 24th.
The strongest energy this month is occuring in the sign of Leo. Since everyone has Leo in their chart somewhere, it’s affecting you. In Jyotish, or Vedic astrology, both Mars and Ketu are sharp, fiery signs. They BOTH rule knives, needles… anything pointy. What does this mean? Everything associated with Leo right now is sharp as hell: creative projects, ideas, art, and performances will be amazing to watch since musicians and artists are sharply focused, unified, and on point.
However, the actions of Leo actually manifest in the sign of Libra, so this is a tough time for partnerships (Libra). There is sharp energy aimed Libra, which can cause fights and break ups in any type of partnership. Careful what you say to your partner right now. This energy will keep building until the conjunction of Rahu and Mars on July 20th. If you want to know how this specifically affects your chart, schedule a reading with me here.
Saturn and Neptune are stationing retrograde right now in a conjunction at 7 Pisces. This is a water sign, AND these two planets stationing (standing still) together are affecting the water element, as you’ve seen with the destructive floods lately. Right now it’s hard to find the edge between truth and reality, and many people are feeling lost. On top of that, Mercury is going retrograde in Cancer next week, further disturbing the water element. I you want a quick reading on how Saturn in Pisces will affect you over the next two years, and what you can do about it, book a reading with me here.
