The New Moon is in Shravana and the zodiac sign of Capricorn. Ruled by the Moon, and Vishnu, The Preserver of the Universe
Shravana's meaning is "The Listening Star." Symbolized by an ear; three uneven footsteps in a row; a trident. This Nakshatra is about listening to your inner voice, listening to the unspoken words, observation
Our first New Moon of 2020 is in a very fortunate degree; however, listening skills are required.
Vishnu rules the Nakshatra of Shravana and is the preserver of the wisdom and knowledge as set forth by Saraswati, the Goddess of wisdom and knowledge that infused Brahmas creation of the Universe.
The 3 uneven footsteps taken by an incarnation of Vishnu was to reclaim the Heavens and the Earth from demons. These 3 uneven steps, the trident and the number 3, are prevalent throughout all of creation.
The Trinity; Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva; Sarasvati-Lakshami-Kaali ; 3 modes of nature;creation-maintenance-destruction; 3 Kala's past-present-future; 3 Gunas sattwa-rajas-tamas. 3 Lokas swarg-bhu-patal ; 3 Powers will, action and wisdom; 3 States waking-sleeping-dreaming
Originally wisdom and knowledge were passed generation to generation orally. The keepers of this wisdom and knowledge knew the importance of the information, and even greater emphasis was placed on whom they shared it with.
Today most of that information is relatively available through books and online. But has it fallen on deaf ears? Are we listening?
Moment by moment, we are bombarded with sensory input from social media, news and the opinions of others. We rarely stop to listen to the true resonates of its meaning or what is actually be conveyed, hence missing the all-important task of asking ourselves or others the right questions.The answer is in the question.
Three parts of the human body form the shape of a question mark.
The Head-The Ears-The Feet.
What your hearing gets filtered through the mind and then becomes your actions.
Genuine active listening and understanding happen through the ears and into the Heart to align the mind with proper action.
Step by step by step, all things come into alignment. Its how the Universe was created and how it will be preserved...or destroyed.
Above and below the clouds
The Sun and Moons alignment indicates that this month is about listening from your heart. Venus, the Goddess of Love, is snuggling up to Neptune creating blissful music, so be mindful of your dreams. Saturn the planet of discipline enters the sign it rules, Capricorn. The planetary alignment is supporting or kicking your ass, saying its time to get grounded, back to basics, and set priorities. As you get to the tasks at hand be sure to listen from within and ask the right questions before taking any steps.
Head-Where is your head in this world?
Ears-What, who, and how are you listening?
Feet-Where are you going?
Lastly be at ease, unless you are Tigger or a kangaroo, your steps will always be considered uneven, but that's not the point. The intention is the direction you are headed with each step.
May your Head-Heart-Feet be in alignment.
