The New Moon will be in Nakshatra Shatabhisha and the zodiac sign of Aquarius. Ruled by Rahu, Saturn, and both are presided over by Varuna, the ruler of the celestial ocean.
Shatabhisha's meaning is "The Hundred Stars," translated into the 100 healers of the celestial ocean. They rest as the backdrop keeping a watchful eye on the cosmos, offering to heal when needed.
On Friday, February 21, Mahashivaratri celebrated Lord Shiva. On this day, legend says he saved the world from destruction by drinking the poison churned from the oceans by the demons. Lord Shiva may have died if it were not for the healing touch of Parvati, who stopped the poison from destroying Shiva. Healer, having healed only to need healing.
The message of Shatabhisha is about the light and dark of being a healer. Aquarius, the ultimate Humanitarian and water-bearer that pours forth the healing from the celestial sea.
Not everyone understands the role of the healer, and early on, not even the healer understands their role. Healers heal when healing; however, there are rules. Their offering must be unselfish, un-tethered, no expectations, and the offering made for a higher purpose outside of themselves. If they're offering is made in any other fashion, it can leave them shattered, disillusioned, and unrecognizable.
Healers often get caught in an illusion of attracting those in need of healing only to realize they are locked in the same room with what needs healing. The veil becomes thin, the fog thick, and the lines blur between the healer and the one needing healing. The destruction begins here. The healer selflessly drinks the poison of the other, and the healers' world becomes shattered, disillusioned, and unrecognizable. Because of this, healers often hide from others and themselves becoming reclusive due to the extreme toll it can take on their being. If they followed the rules, the healer emerges stronger than before.
Rahu, the ruler of this Nakshatra, projects unfulfilled mental desires from past lifetimes into this lifetime.
Who's healing who?
I used to ask this quite often, coming to the realization, "Where two or more are gathered." The attraction is a mutual agreement made by who you attract. With the energy transformed, healing occurs for all and who's healing who does not matter.
Above and below the clouds
"Physician Heal Thyself." Forgiveness, gratitude, and the releasing of who did what to who is the calling this month.
The
Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Neptune
will be residing in
Aquarius
at the time of the New Moon.
Aquarius
urges us towards what's right for all, and with
Mercury
in retrograde, conversations are needing to take place. Our current government could heal the entire world with different actions, yet they are disillusioned and unwilling to do so. At some point, they will need the healing they could have offered.
Venus
, still in exaltation, is feeling good and preparing to move out of her house within the week. Are you on the move? Does something need to be moved? Move or be moved!
Mars
is finishing an ecstatic dance (conjunction) with Ketu (The shadowy planet of past karma). I suspect that you finally found the root of something that needed to be pulled or healed.
Saturn
, also being the ruler of Aquarius, is slow, steady, and methodical. He's got all the puzzle pieces laid out and sees the big picture.
Pluto
will be joining him again shortly in his earth sign of Capricorn on February 24 2020.
The
Spring Equinox is March 19
, something new is on the horizon.
Heal Thyself! Stop hiding, get up and move.
