Full Moon in Citra Nakshatra12-13 April 2025Although eclipse season is over, the intense energies of 5 grahas accumulated in sidereal Pisces (Sun, Saturn, Rahu, Mercury and retrograde Venus) can be still felt in the air and continue throughout this fortnight. Additionally, Sun and Moon will be again experiencing Sankranti Dosha, the maximum separation occurring right on the borders of two rashis: Moon in the heart of Citra nakshatra between Virgo and Libra, while Sun in the middle of gandanta between Pisces and Aries. This makes this whole fortnight leading towards upcoming Full Moon a powerful time for spiritual transformation and some serious inner work. It is a perfect time to embody the qualities of sidereal Pisces and choose more often to go within, talk less and feel more, listen to the voice of inner guidance, and learn to trust and surrender more, even amidst the storm.

Partial Solar Eclipse in Uttara Bhadrapada (29 Mar 2025)
Partial Solar Eclipse in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra29 March 2025Partial Solar Eclipse in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, in the very heart of sidereal Pisces, will mark the culmination of this eclipse season, with impressive 6 planets aligned together in Pisces. Saturn will move into Pisces just hours after the eclipse. With 6 of the Navagrahas accumulated in Bhadrapada nakshatras, stars of Rudras, fierce aspects of Lord Shiva who represent forces of time, transformation and symbolic death, we all will be powerfully called towards inner transformation. With Sun and Moon perfectly aligned with Earth, and other planets joining, it is a powerful time for all of us to realign with our purpose and allow unnecessary desires and disappointments to burn in the fire of purification.It’s incredibly significant that during this eclipse season both of the lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu, dwell in the amsha of Goddess Cinnamasta in the D20 (Vimshamsha) chart of spiritual progress. Cinnamasta, the Goddess who beheads Herself and drinks Her own blood, while immersed in ecstatic dance, represents the notion of unlocking spiritual bliss within by beheading our ego and disconnecting for a moment from the narratives and stories of our mind. While Her image may seem gruesome to some, She represents this force of aliveness within us, which we all have access to, if we choose to drop awareness from our head to our bodies for a moment, and liberate ourselves from the dictatorship of the mind.If you want to learn more about interpreting eclipses, you can watch this workshop dedicated to decoding astrological meaning of eclipses: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/eclipses-in-vedic-astrology/Here you can also learn more about 10 Mahavidya Goddesses: https://academy.discoveringyouniverse.com/courses/mahavidyas-10-mystical-goddesses/

Total Lunar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra (13/14 Mar 2025)
Total Lunar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra13-14 March 2025Upcoming Total Lunar Eclipse in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra will be one of the biggest planetary shifts of this year. Both luminaries (Sun and Moon) will be dwelling right on the border of their respective rashis: Sun in between Aquarius and Pisces, while Moon in between Leo and Virgo, continuing the recent trend of Full Moons coinciding with Sankrantis (solar ingresses). While Moon will stationed alone in the last degrees of Leo (Kemadruma Yoga), Sun will be simultaneously surrounded by his enemies (Papa Kartari Yoga), tightly squeezed in between Saturn and Rahu, and too far from Venus retrograde. This combination will invite a lot of pressure into our lives, while simultaneously will provide very little support from the outside. Needless to say, though, with Total Lunar Eclipse accompanied by 5 planets in Bhadrapada nakshatras, stars of profound spiritual transformations and symbolic death, this will be also a powerful time of inner purification and spiritual growth for many of us.

New Moon in Shatabhisha Nakshatra (27/28 Feb 2025)
New Moon in Shatabhisha Nakshatra27-28 FebruaryThe next conjuction of Sun and Moon will take place at the heart of sidereal Aquarius in Shatabhisha Nakshatra, in proximity of Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra. The day before this particular New Moon is known as Mahashivaratri, the Great Night of Lord Shiva, and usually marks a time of great purification and inner transformation - the theme which continues for quite some time already, and is just about to get intensified.During this particular New Moon many planets will be already accumulating in Bhadrapada nakshatras (Purva and Uttara) known for their shared themes of death, transformation, letting go and unburdening, while refocusing on what is truly important. These two lunar mansions, ruled by 2 of the 11 Rudras, fierce forms of Lord Shiva, also represent the transformative power coiled at our root chakra and opportunity to rise above our own limitations.

Full Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra (12 February 2025)
Full Moon in Ashlesha Nakshatra12 February 2025Full Moon completing the auspicious time of Kumbha Mela will occur this year in the very last minutes of Ashlesha nakshatra within sidereal Cancer - right on the border between Ashlesha and Magha, in the heart of the gandanta, which represents our third eye chakra and the last energy knot in our energy body (rudra granthi) to be transcended on the path to spiritual awakening. When Sun aligns itself at the very center of zodiacal muladhara chakra, between Capricorn and Aquarius, and Moon shines in its fullness in the gandanta between Cancer and Leo, it’s a time pregnant with spiritual vibrations and opportunities to transcend our limitations.
