FULL MOON पूर्णिमा

July 21st 3:18am PDT
This lunation cycle began with a fresh start, graced by the return of the light. With the full moon (Pūrṇimā) in the predawn hours on Sunday morning, in the Vedic lunar mansion of Uttarāṣāḍha (Capricorn), the Universal Star, we’re called to commit for the long game. Our fresh start has been initiated, and this is where our story begins to stabilize.
Tension and pressure have been building. You may feel as if you’ve been carrying the weight of the world on your back or as if you’re being presented with multiple pathways, second-guessing which direction to move.
The star of victory is slow and deliberate, much like Ganesha, whose tusk is associated with Uttarāṣāḍha. Be patient and find the strength to surrender your efforts instead of pushing forward. Take a step back and notice what is right and in alignment with the needs of all involved. Your efforts thus far have not been in vain and have likely been met with resistance — it is not time to set down your pen, as this story has just begun.
This cycle calls for us to embrace a steadfast commitment for the long haul — unwaveringly staying the course in our actions. This cycle invokes our innate ability to align with our ambitions, encouraging us to persevere diligently towards eventual triumph and fulfillment — towards a lasting victory.

Guru Pūrṇimā is celebrated today, on the full moon in the month of Āṣāḍha (June–July). This day is said to feature the brightest full moon of the year, symbolizing the illumination of wisdom. It is a revered festival in the Vedic calendar, a time to remember and honor our teachers and the lineage of those who have walked the path before us. May we pay homage to the embodiment of grace that illuminates our path, dispels the darkness of ignorance, and guides us towards self-realization.
