Uttara Phalguni makes up a pair with the previous nakshatra of Purva Phalguni. Purva Phalguni, "The Fruit of the Tree" and Uttara Phalguni, "The Star of Patronage," are not much different, except for their desires; however, the desires are working with a common goal. The ancients described the pair as making up the four legs of a bed or cot.
These four legs represent the four sheaths that the soul becomes entangled:
- the physical sheath
- the ethereal sheath which provides the channel for the flow of vital energy
- the astral sheath which radiates and responds to emotional vibrations
- the mental sheath which enables the individual to think
It is also a representation of the four heads of Brahma, the four Rig Vedas, the four directions, the four elements, and the four states of consciousness.
The Phalguṇīs represent the unity present between the human individual's various capabilities, which are brought into function during the course of each evolution. This unity is the marriage of the soul with the Divine.
The presiding for Uttara Phalguni is Aryaman, the patron saint of love and unity. His name signifies "Life-Partner, "close friend", "partner", "play-fellow", or "companion".
Our New Moon intention is to become an Aryan. A traveler on the path, aspiring for immortality by divine sacrifice, worship of the Truth, a fighter in the battle against darkness, a force of sacrifice, journeying towards perfection, celestial bliss by which the path is created, traveled and pursued beyond all resistance to its marriage with the Divine.
So as Above, So as Below
The Sun, the ruler of Uttara Phalguni, always rises to provide life-giving sustenance to ALL, no matter what the weather. May we, our leaders, and the world follow the path of the Sun. Being good patrons and stewards of our Earth and each other. Making stands against injustice and making informed decisions that benefit our future.
Mars is in retrograde. Be mindful of the anxiety and anger that may arise in your efforts to get things done. Time and timing are two different things, and what needs to happen will take precedence over what you want to happen. Use exercise, meditation, and lots of water to soothe the fighting warrior into a peaceful warrior.
Jupiter has turned direct in Sagittarius's sign, giving expansion and encouragement to the delays you may be experiencing with Mars in retrograde. Saturn turns direct this month in the sign it rules, so be on the lookout for what may come in terms of structure, limitations, and more cleaning up on aisle nine.
We are coming closer to the nodel shift of Rahu and Ketu. From September 22nd to March 2022, they will be in Taurus, an Earth sign, and Scorpio, a Water sign. Scorpio is profound, intense, deep, transformative, and knows why. Taurus is practical, determined, ambitious, materialistic, and on a mission. The two will work in tandem, taking what's found in Scorpio's depths and Taurus turning it into something tangible and useful for our future.
