It will take place in the constellation Taurus. Taurus is a fixed earth sign, ruled by Venus. This is a time to root our projects and ideas in matter and get in touch with Mother Earth, to create beauty in our lives. Taurus is the sign of exaltation of the moon, and we will have access to all its qualities: imagination, intuition, relationship, connection. It is also the sign related to money and banking, and we can make intentions about new sources of income in our lives, or about how to manage our assets.
The New Moon will be aligned with the Pleiades, a group of six stars called Krittika in Vedic astrology, which means "to cut through the negativity to go to the truth. This constellation is ruled by Agni, god of purifying fire, and Kartikeya, the warrior son of Shiva. So it has a certain intensity. It is a good time to do cures, fasts, fire rituals, etc. This constellation also leads us to say the real things, to be true with ourselves and with others. During the coming month, it is the time to speak out, to dare to speak your truth, even if it upsets and creates waves. And let's expect that many lies will be exposed in the coming weeks!
And this is very much in line with the energy of Saturn, whose birthday we celebrate in this new moon, called "Shani Jayanti". In astrology, Saturn creates limitations and obstacles in our lives so that we can transcend what is transitory and move into what is permanent and develop equanimity. Happy New Moon!
