August 4th, 4:14 AM PDT

The new moon on August 4th awakens the primordial serpent energy, bound within the Vedic Lunar mansion of Āśleṣā आश्लेषा (Cancer), known as The Embracing Star. Just as the coiled energy at the base of the spine yearns to merge with its beloved in the crown, Āśleṣā stirs the curiosity to delve deeper and unite with one's desired outcome.

This lunation cycle initiates a quest to embrace the balance between virtue and vice—the dance of our primal nature that must be harmonized before we can ascend to our higher dominion. This journey of transmutation, turning poison into medicine, mirrors the shadow energies entwined within our ego. It is here that you must become an alchemist, learning to digest this poison. These shadows, often buried in the subconscious, await acknowledgment and transformation, allowing us to gain true authority over ourselves.

The energies contained within Āśleṣā, positioned at the gaṇḍānta point (the juncture between water and fire), hold immense potential. Ruled by the Nāgas, or heavenly serpents, and symbolizing a karmic knot, this subtle energy invites us to stay open and patient as we learn the art of transmutation. Āśleṣā, also known as The Clinging Star, possesses the shakti to unite us with our desires, weaving together seemingly unconnected elements for a desired result.

Your intuition is sharpened now. Elevate yourself beyond emotional reactions. Employ strategy and goal orientation, while tempering your agendas. Consistency, patience, and discipline will be your allies in realizing your cherished ambitions. Embrace your darkness and know that a healing comes from extracting the poison. Depending on where Cancer falls in your chart, you may find yourself assisting another through their transmutation.

What are you prepared to shed to reach your desired goal?
