There are certain stars in the night sky that awaken a wild, primordial energy within us. This power shifts our attention from the seen to the unseen, from the quest for material success to the initiation of the soul’s spiritual journey. The mysterious shakti within the soil that helps the seed bloom — this is the energy of the Dark Goddess.
June’s bright moon aligns with the Galactic Center, or Vedic lunar mansion of Mūla मूल (sidereal Sagittarius), the Foundation Star, which represents Tearing Energy. We’re being called to go deeper now.
Woven within the unseen architecture of our being lies the storehouse of all our experiences, karmic records, and imprints — a blueprint with a strong hold on us. Some aspects are ripe for us to experience and play out in this lifetime, ultimately orchestrating our likes, dislikes, habits, and routines.
Like the ruling deity of this constellation, Nirṛti (Kālī), whose fierce dance destroys ignorance and helps us see beyond the veil of illusion, Mūla holds the power to destroy and protect. This force is both feared and revered as sacred. Our ancestors have prayed to this Great Mystery since time immemorial, seeking to appease her and receive her divine blessings.
Mūla is the seat of real power and intelligence, that of the Dark Goddess — the one who decides our fate and protects the throne. Mūla is synonymous with the Milky Way (our galactic center), and desires to know its root place and origin point in creation. This constellation holds immense potential that must be tended with great care.
The throne has been gained here, whether in a material or spiritual sense. For the inward path, one becomes stationed in a state of experience, seeking protection from distraction at the nine gates (of the body). Just like the theoretical throne obtained by the king, one seeks favor from this shakti to protect and maintain their position.
As garden beds are turned over at the end of the season to prepare for the coming spring, this destruction is necessary. It taps into, loosens, and deconstructs, so something new can be birthed.
This moment can awaken a sincere intrigue to go deeper. Through devoted efforts and excavation into what is hidden, secret information and knowledge can be revealed. When utilized correctly, with dedication and effort, this energy can delete and rewrite those codes dictating much of what has played out in your life, allowing new habits and patterns to take root — so your operating system can receive an upgrade.

Perhaps the very things dismantling and unraveling in your life will seed what comes next. For that seed to take root and be strong, it must be well-nourished and watered. Be patient, control your impulses, preserve your life energy, and avoid distractions.
Stay inquisitive and willing to go against the grain. You have the capacity to rewrite the pre-determined codes that have brought you to this moment. Utilize pranayama and meditation practices to keep your nerves calm and replenished, and kriyas to excavate and break up your root impulses.
This lunation cycle began with the new moon in the fertile star of Rohiṇī (Taurus), with its desire to plant seeds and nurture our aspirations into manifestation. Now it culminates with the immense potential of the full moon in Mūla, invoking a primal and transformative force within the unseen realms of our experience.
This fortnight offers a powerful shift, ripe for expedited evolution — an opening that spurs investigation, symbolically unravelling the knots tied in our previous life to establish a strong foundation and reveal the tools necessary to navigate the current karma ripe for us to experience in this life.
