The New Moon is in Anuradha and the zodiac sign of Scorpio. Saturn rules Anuradha and Mars rules Scorpio; they are both ruled by Mitra, the God of Light, and one of the 12 sons of Aditi, The Universal Mother.
Anuradha's meaning is "The Star of Success" A lotus flower represents this nakshatra. Even though it is the "Star of Success," don't expect success to come easy. The lotus flower seeds in the mud and moves towards the sun. Once it has flowered, it will wither away and repeat the process over and over. Any success that comes easy is worthless. Being ruled by Saturn and moved by Mars, expect that you will have to work for it. Those with a sense of entitlement will be awakened rudely.
You deserve nothing unless you are willing to give everything.
Anu means small, and Radha is the beloved of Krishna. Radha's worldly desire had to turn into complete devotion before Krishna allowed her to merge. Devotion is vital for this type of energy. Getting caught up in materialism will pull you off the path. Over and over again, you must travel through the muck towards the light not because you are unworthy but because you are.
Lead me from the unreal to the real
From darkness to light
From a time-bound state of consciousness
To the timeless state of being that
I Am
Scorpio is about as deep into the muck as you can get. An intense sign that lives up to its reputation. This energy will pull you down into the deepest parts of yourself. Mitra supplies the light to Anuradha in Scorpio, exposing the darkness to light, thereby dissolving your illusions.
Above & Below the Clouds
This New Moon energy is all about devotion. How devoted have you been? Or, more importantly, what have you been devoted too?
If you're on a spiritual path, I know the year you have had. The darkest parts of you slapping you in your face: Karmic debts paid, heartbroken, tears shed, bruised knees from surrendering over and over, glimpses of realization only to feel lost again and again, doubts, searching and solitude. Devotion asks for nothing less. It's been lonely, but you have never been alone.
Take a deep breath in, look up, exhale slowly. There it is, the light.
It's time to keep moving towards the light. Take all you have found in the dark and bask in the light. Devote yourself to your beloved. Whether that be someone, something, family, or yourself, allow the energies to merge into oneness — laying you're lotus as an offering. As we head into a mighty eclipse season, you'll want to leave everything and nothing behind.
No Mud, No Lotus, No Offering, No Bueno!
