Drinking from the Chalice: Alchemical Transformation
The dark moon early morning on August 16th awakens the primordial, serpent energy, bound within the Vedic Lunar mansion of Āśleṣā आश्लेषा (Sidereal Cancer), The Clinging Star. Just like the coiled energy that sits dormant at the base of the spine, which yearns to merge with its beloved in the crown, Āśleṣā enlivens the curiosity to investigate deeper, to unite with one’s desired outcome.
The energies of this new moon are entwined with retrograde Venus, which, having relinquished its reign as the evening star, now steps behind the sun, poised to reappear in the week ahead as the morning star. Many have been preoccupied, immersing themselves in profound emotional and mental processes, skillfully untangling and navigating the intensified currents stirred by the heart's initiation within this cycle. A substantial recalibration, particularly centered around relationship, finds us immersed in the essence of a deeply brewed alchemical metamorphosis.
A quest that compels us to embrace balance between the virtues and vices — the intricate tapestry of our primal inclinations that demands conquest before we can attune to our higher dominion. This alchemical transmutation, ingeniously converting venom into elixir, intricately interlaces with the enigmatic energies concealed within our ego, yearning for acknowledgment and ultimate subjugation, paving the way for the ascension to the throne of sovereign mastery.
What are you ready to shed, like a serpent casting its skin? Your intuition is sharpened now. Elevate yourself beyond emotional reactions. Employ strategy and goal orientation, all while tempering your agendas. Consistency, patience, and discipline will be your allies in realizing your treasured ambitions. You’re not alone on this earth walk — we’re birthing through this right of passage together. In the spirit of interconnectedness, All my Relations.
