The new moon rises in the Vedic lunar mansion of Anurādhā अनुराधा (Scorpio), the Star of Success. Anurādhā awakens the potential for healing in relationships and sparks the ability to cultivate devotion to something greater than oneself — to a higher love. This is a potent alignment, inviting you to ground yourself in stability while embracing the transformative power of devotion, healing, and renewal.

This constellation seeks to build and harmonize with community, to collaborate and form deep and sincere friendships and lasting alliances. Anurādhā is a universal solvent which naturally bridges discordant energies. Opportunities for great healing are initiated around the renewal of friendships and the beginning of new bonds. We’re readjusting our relationship with devotion through the power of inner worship. 

Anurādhā holds the śakti (energy) to turn the unconscious, conscious. Just like the majestic lotus flower that emerges from the mud, guided by the light of the Sun, you too will reach your goal in time. Be courageous and daring to go deeper than you’ve been willing to go — face the things that are unconscious now and bring it into the light of awareness. As this lunar mansion teaches us, it only takes a spark to ignite the thirst for deeper understanding.

The energy of worship (rādhāna śakti) becomes empowered here — what are you willing to offer your unwavering devotion to? Śrīmatī Rādhārāṇī (Lord Kṛṣṇa’s eternal consort), born under this very star of Anurādhā, embodies the highest expression of devotion — a love so selfless and pure that it transcends all worldly boundaries. Her steadfastness, even in the face of separation, reveals the transformative power of patience and humility, qualities intimately tied to Saturn’s lessons. To contemplate her is to glimpse the soul’s ultimate potential for union with the Divine, a devotion that endures beyond time itself.

The new moon aligns with Mercury retrograde — that which you seek, the protection of your nevrous system, and the reclamation of your seat of power — is energized by turning to the inward path, tracking roots of who you are. Seek the hidden counsel of the dark goddess, the primordial force that dwells in the depths of your being, guiding you to reclaim the throne at the center of your wheel. This is the essence of Anurādhā’s wisdom — the power to transmute darkness into light through unwavering devotion and self-discovery.

When both Jupiter and Saturn cast their gaze on the same house, they invoke not only a profound longing for something enduring but also the grace to manifest it in material form. Jupiter bestows optimism and abundance, while Saturn instills discipline and structure, weaving a powerful synergy that nurtures the realization of lasting, tangible results. This alignment invites further reflection on how we can harness the rhythms and pulse of this cycle for growth and stability in our lives.
