August 19th - 11:26AM PDT
August's Full Moon (Pūrṇimā) rises in the Vedic lunar mansion of Dhaniṣṭha (sidereal Aquarius), the Star of Symphony. Expect a surge of disciplined ambition and the culmination of long-term goals. This cycle presents a blend of an upbeat cadence, sobering vibes, and accents of full power mode — urging us to awaken and step one-pointedly towards what truly matters.
Retrograde Saturn (Pūrvabhādrapadā) accompanies the Full Moon at a crossroads, stepping up the tempo and the octave. Whatever you work towards now will bear fruit — stay focused and be decisive.
Dhaniṣṭha star translates to "the wealthiest" and "the swiftest," ruled by the Aṣṭavasu, the Gods of Abundance. It holds the power to grant fame and prosperity, so align your efforts with purpose and intention.
A passionate Mars sits conjunct Jupiter, the planet of expansion, triggering highly dynamic shifts and contributing to paving the way forward. Pick your battles wisely, stay curious, and lean into your lighthearted and playful spirit to soften the tension.
Mercury retrograde steps back into Cancer (Āśleṣā) on the 24th, inviting us to revisit the emotional currents and unresolved matters from early July. The serpentine energy of Āśleṣā entangles us in deep memories and hidden fears, urging introspection, healing, and the refinement of our inner dialogue.
This chaos is as ancient as the story woven by your ancestors and is an integral part of your evolutionary journey. How can you respond to the dream differently than before? All outside conflict must first be resolved within. Lean into the grace of that which you do not prefer and attune more fully with your soul's rhythm.
Just like the drum, which symbolizes this affluent asterism, when we become a conduit for Source, when we can become like a hollow bone, the rhythms of the universe can flow through us more effortlessly. Step into your receptivity and trust in the presence of the Unknown.
Cultivate leadership qualities, pursue practical endeavors with a steady and patient approach, and align yourself with universal flow by transcending the ego and working selflessly. Cut your losses, lighten your load, and be decisive in your actions, one-pointed towards what you truly desire. Let’s go.
