March - Mystical New Moon of Shiva
It will be the new moon this Saturday, March 13 at 2:21 a.m. PST. The Sun and the Moon will be accompanied by Venus and Neptune, all aligned with the constellation Pegasus, at the junction of Aquarius and Pisces.
Pegasus, the winged horse, is called PurvaBhadrapada in Vedic astrology. Its symbol is a funeral bed that invites us to remind us of the reality of death, the impermanence of the outside world, but also our true eternal nature beyond dualities. The time has come to rise above the material world and to expand our consciousness.
The deity of Purvabhadrapada is "Aja Ekapada", a goat that stands on one leg. He is associated with austerities, such as the sadhus who stand on one leg, and Nataraja, the lord of dance. It is said that all of creation, from atoms to galaxies, represents the dance of Shiva. This asterism is also represented by a pillar of light, or "Shiva Lingam", and that is why every year at this time, the Hindus celebrate Shivaratri, the day of the god Shiva. We all have this Shiva lingam within us, which is the kundalini making its way into the Sushumna nadi (central channel of the spine) after practicing austerities like yoga, meditation, pranayamas, fasting ...
The new moon with Venus and Neptune invites us to open our hearts, to spiritualize our love. The Sun and Venus will be together in Pisces from March 17 to April 11. Pisces is the sign of exaltation of Venus. This is the time to heal our hearts, to realize that love is in us, that we are love. Pisces is the sign of service and sacrifice, we will be more inclined to help others. Planet of creativity and beauty, exalted Venus leads us to develop our artistic talents. For artists, now is the time to get started! It is also the last sign of the zodiac, and now is the time to let go of strife, resentment, to forgive. Neptune with the Sun and the Moon for the next 3 days can give us mystical experiences, visions, intuitions. Happy full moon everyone!
