The Full Moon is in Mula and the zodiac sign of Sagittarius. Ruled by Ketu (Shadowy planet of Past Karma) and Jupiter (The Guru), they are both ruled by Nirrti, Goddess of Death & Destruction, and often identified as Kali, Goddess of Time & Death.
Mula's meaning is "The Foundation Star," which is represented by roots. Unlike other nakshatras, it doesn't consist of stars, but its central portion in the sky contains a supermassive black hole designated as the Galactic Center. In you, this Galactic Center is the Muladhara Chakra, the root of you. It is the very foundation of your youniverse. It holds the key to everything seen and unseen about you and the abode of latent Kundalini (spiritual energy). Mula nakshatra inspires us to get to the root of all things and ask ourselves the existential questions: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Which way do I go? What am I doing here?" OOOh, what's that a rabbit hole, my favorite!!!!
In the fable of "Alice in Wonderland," Alice impulsively follows a white rabbit that's late for a very important date, oh deer*, and finds herself tumbling down a deep hole for a very, very, very long time. A massive tornado swirling with items that appear to be part of her life, imagination, or clues to something: a light, mirror, piano, bed, a grandfather clock set at three o'clock, books, teapot, cozy fire, and lastly, she exclaims "I wonder if I will fall right through the center of the earth" oh and roots.
Mula energy, like Alice, is rooted in impulsivity, always on the hunt, as seen from being in the sign of Sagittarius, the archer. This impulsively often leads one to forget why they went down the rabbit hole in the first place. But sincerely, that doesn't matter; adventure rarely needs to make sense, nor does the destination. Getting to the bottom of things usually leads straight to the other side, at the beginning of a new rabbit hole with an unknown destination and adventure to experience.
You can either chose to go down the
the rabbit hole, or pushed, as there are no accidental falls.
Nirrti, Goddess of Death & Destruction and the keeper of time and death, is the deity of Mula and connected with Kali. She is fierce and one of the "Dasa Maha Vidya's" translated as the Ten Divine Mother's or Wisdom Goddess. She will dissolve and destroy any part of your root system that does not support the true essence of you. But, like all mothers, she knows what's best, even if it's pushing you down a rabbit hole for your own good.
Other aspects of Mula are its ruling planets, Jupiter and Ketu, and Ketu's ruler, Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. So how did Alice fall down a dark tornado swirling hole for a very, very, very, very long time without harm? Hmmmmmm. Jai Ganesha!!!!
Going down the rabbit hole doesn't have to be destructive or scary. Consider it an adventure in falling, with faith to the other side. Trust that all the obstacles will be removed, and should you get lost along the way, you can always go ask Alice, but only if she's ten feet tall. :0)
Above and Below the Clouds
This Full Moon occurs in the same axis point that set the Covid 19 pandemic into motion. Arda/Gemini & Mula/Sagittarius. The Sun stationed in Arda, “The Star of Sorrow” shining its destructive rays on the Moon in Mula, “The Foundation Star.” The light shines on your foundation. This energy is about the dissolution, destruction, and getting to the root of something. Perhaps this is the other side of the black hole we have been traveling to begin a new adventure.
Since the Summer Solstice on June 20th, Jupiter has turned retrograde
in the moon mansion of Shatabhishaka, "The Star of the Hundred Healers." So, follow your own inner guidance, look for the clues in your rabbit hole, questioning no one but yourself. Also, take time to rest, heal, and rejuvenate from all you have absorbed.
Mercury turns direct Tuesday, June 22nd, and those conversations you contemplated during its retrograde period may come under the light of this coming Full Moon. So take your time, stand ten feet tall, choose and limit your words carefully to deliver your message directly. Saturn, also in retrograde, will support this radical inner-action.
Venus is in opposition to Pluto retrograde. Your desires may be undergoing a subtle transformation in your homebody underneath. Be mindful of the power of the underworld. As the God of the Underworld, Pluto can cause compulsive desires to power and control, so be mindful as Mother doesn’t like someone being too big for their britches.
Mars is transiting Cancer and is in a state of debilitation. Debilitation does not mean a negative state rather a state that is not its usual energy. The lesson for Mars, the warrior, is to understand that even a warrior must retreat and be nurtured in the mothers' comfort. There is a space from June 23rd to June 28th that Mars can use his warrior talents within the home. This could be anything that needs courage, strength, and change in connection with the home.
Let this Full Moon shine the light on the foundation of your life and ask yourself the existential questions: "Who am I? Where do I come from? Which way do I go? What am I doing here? What clues have I overlooked? Oooohhhhh a rabbit hole!!!!
Are you ready to go down the rabbit hole, or will you be pushed?
Love & Wisdom
