July - Full Moon of Final Victory | Guru Purnima
This will be the full moon this Friday, July 23 at 7:37pm Pacific time.
It will be aligned with the star Vega in the constellation Lyra, called Abhijit in Vedic astrology. Abhijit means "the victor" or "the one who cannot be defeated". This constellation was created by Krishna to defeat the Kuru in the battle of Kurukshetra. That is why in the Bhagavad-Gita, Krishna says: “Among the nakshatras, I am Abhijit”. He adds that "No weapon can split the soul, nor fire burn it. Water cannot wet it, nor wind dry it out.
This means that we all have an invincible and unattainable element, despite the adversity of the outside world, and the good news is that the Divine within us is always victorious! Let us listen to the song of the Beloved who calls us from the depths of our hearts and who alone can truly fulfill us!
It is also the festival of Guru Purnima, celebrated every year in India, to thank all those who guide us on the path and to review our progress on the spiritual path. The term "guru" means "the one who brings us from darkness to light" and can take the form of a person, but also of a child, a flower, a cloud...and ultimately that little voice that teaches us from within.
At the time of the full moon until Sunday 10am, the moon will be with Saturn and Pluto, two "malefic" and intense planets that can make us melancholic, serious and worried. Very deep and subconscious emotions may emerge. However, Saturn makes us look reality in the face and Pluto brings great psychological transformations.
In addition, Mercury has just entered Cancer, which could give us fluctuations in our mood. Mars and Venus have just entered Leo until August 11, which will make relationships less emotional and more passionate and fiery. Happy Guru Purnima to all!
