FULL MOON

The last full moon (pūrṇimā) of 2024 rose in the Vedic lunar mansion of Mṛgaśirā मृगशिरा (sidereal Taurus), the Seeking Star. With the bright moon and Mercury stationing direct, we’re being called to nourish and rejuvenate, to breathe life into our waking dream, and gradually move with newfound clarity into reintegration.
Interwoven with emerging truth, this cycle prompts an inner quest—an urge to seek something higher: a belief system that grounds you and a deeper sense of belonging. Some aspects of your life may feel dismantled, while others are coming into focus. Surrender to this process. The unease you may be experiencing is often an initiation, preparing you for what lies ahead.
Mṛgaśirā is said to be the birth star of Pārvatī, the consort of Lord Śiva. Symbolized by soma (divine nectar), it represents that which is magnetic and receptive, that which draws life to itself and awakens a thirst for deeper understanding. Soma, associated with Chandrā (the Moon), embodies the lunar principle of water, nourishing both our spirit and our evolution.
It is said that through the union of love and wisdom, Lord Śiva imparted to his beloved Pārvatī the secret teachings of Guhya Vidya, the esoteric wisdom of yoga. This divine transmission illuminated her soul, revealing her role as both a devoted partner and a radiant teacher, guiding all seekers on the eternal journey toward self-realization.

Connected to a female serpent and known as the Searching Star, Mṛgaśirā carries a generative force which desires the effort and energy required to weave a new timeline. This is a time to nourish and rejuvenate, to reflect, and to dream anew. Rather than letting the pressure of this energy propel you prematurely into action, create space to pause and go deeper.
In moments when stability feels uncertain and new beginnings emerge, it is essential to step back and honor the integrity of what is unfolding. By detaching from heightened pressure or feelings of lack, we allow ourselves a clearer perspective—and often, the answers we seek are closer than we realize.
Instead of grasping for clarity, allow the answers to reveal themselves naturally. Revisiting past connections or reconsidering once-dismissed options may lead to unexpected resolutions. Neither accepting nor rejecting. Release what has been restricting your flow—whether through clinging, avoidance, or force.

Mercury stationed direct today, opposing the full moon in the constellation Anurādhā (Scorpio). As we move through its shadow period over the next few weeks, the subtle impulses of your intuition will reawaken. Take this time to distill the wisdom and lessons that have emerged since mid-November.
Anurādhā holds the śakti (energy) to turn the unconscious conscious—through the power of devotion. We’re in a mode of gathering more information now. Inner dreams are beginning to awaken and gain momentum on the material plane.
When we release attachment and open our awareness, we often find that what we’ve been searching for has been quietly waiting all along. Through the powerful realizations that are stepping forward now, track what is calling for your unwavering devotion. What, in this moment, merits your full and dedicated presence, aligning you with your highest truth and divine timeline?
