September- New Moon
The new moon will occur on Thursday, September 10, at 9:26 p.m. PDT.
The Sun, the Moon, and the south node will be aligned with the constellation Leo (sidereal astrology). Leo is ruled by the Sun, which is the atma (the soul). This is a good time to connect with our soul—with who we truly are—and to become aware of our nobility and our divine origins. This constellation invites us to shine our light—not the light of the ego, which seeks to overshadow others, but the light of the soul, which shines with kindness and awakens the light within others.
The new moon will occur in the nakshatra Purva Phalguni (the fruits of the tree). The deity of this nakshatra is Bhaga, the Sun of Bliss, the god of marital happiness and prosperity. Bhaga is also the Beloved who dwells within us, always present to comfort us and make us feel his love.
Purva Phalguni is a highly creative and romantic nakshatra. One of its symbols is a hammock. It invites us to rest after hard work, to take time for ourselves and for those we love. This constellation is also favorable for starting a media-related project, such as making videos, films, photography, websites, blogs, etc.
According to Vedic astrology, the nakshatras Purva and Uttara Phalguni were originally named after Arjuna, Krishna’s disciple and a spiritual warrior against the forces of darkness. He represents our individual soul on the battlefield of life, our mind, and our emotions. Just as Arjuna allowed himself to be guided by Krishna, we must listen to the guidance of our Higher Self to make good decisions, move in the right direction, and stay aligned with our divine plan.
The astrological outlook looks promising, especially for the coming week, with three planets in dignity. Venus, the planet of love, creativity, and beauty, has just entered its sign, Libra, where it will remain until October 3. This is an excellent time for artistic pursuits, creativity, more harmonious relationships, and opening our hearts—let’s make the most of it!
Mercury is in its sign of exaltation, Virgo, until September 23. It grants us discernment and intelligence. It’s a good time to learn, as our memory and concentration are heightened. It’s also favorable for business and trade, decluttering our space, and getting organized. Have a great new moon!
