This is my very first Jyotish moon report. As I dive deeper into Embodied Jyotish or Vedic astrology, I will share more!

As we approach the end of the year, a powerful full moon in Jyotish (Vedic astrology) is approaching. The full moon is in the mental sign of Gemini, ruled by the storm god Rudra, and is notorious for bringing emotional expression, which may include the release of grief through anger, tears, and violence. This December 26th, at 17:32 MT, the full moon will be placed in Ardra Nakshatra, which can offer immense pain and suffering. However, when we resist the darkness, it intensifies our suffering. Let’s explore the significance of this full moon, learn how to connect with our emotional body wisdom, and transform our mental shadows and grief.

The full moon in Gemini brings a powerful frequency to raise our consciousness and encourages us to release our emotional burdens. It is said that Rudra, the god of storms, reigns in this portion of the sky, which leads to intense emotional expression and a purging of any shadows from the emotional body. Therefore, during this time, we may experience big waves of emotions, including anger, sadness, and even violence. The key is to allow ourselves to fully release anything that no longer serves us.

The moon is placed in Ardra Nakshatra, which is associated with the deity Shiva and the power to destroy anything that no longer serves our lives. Therefore, the suffering intensifies when we resist the darkness and refuse to acknowledge our grief. But, by embracing the shadows and illuminating a new potential for clarity and creativity, we can move through the pain and heal. A mindful practice that encourages us to connect with the heart and allow emotional release is essential during this time.

Mercury is still retrograde during the full moon, so it is vital to be cautious with travel and communication. The waning cycle ahead is a request to lean closer to our own darkness and shadow. By acknowledging our grief, losses, and struggles, we can make space for the cycles ahead. This is a call for help, a beckoning from the emotional body wisdom, to help us transform and transmute our grief and pain into growth and clarity.

One way to calm our mind and nervous system is through meditation and mindfulness practices. This is a time to practice self-care and self-love to honor ourselves fully. Slowing down and connecting with our emotions can help us better understand the messages that are being sent our way. Remember, this full moon is all about letting go and releasing anything that no longer serves our lives.

Finally, as we approach the new year, it is essential to count our blessings and transform our mental shadows and grief. By doing so, we make space for what is to come, and there is much clarity and growth on the horizon. By honoring ourselves and our emotional bodies, we can embrace the lunar energy and all it has to offer.

The full moon in Gemini and Ardra Nakshatra brings a powerful frequency that encourages us to release our emotional burdens fully. Through mindfulness practices and self-care, we can connect with our heart and allow emotional release. It is a time to transform our mental shadows and grief, making space for what is to come in the new year. Let us honor ourselves, embrace the lunar energy, and move through any pain with grace and clarity.

Many Blessings as we navigate this potent time!
