🌟 Today’s Cosmic Weather Report 🌟
Lunar & Planetary Focus: Today’s New Moon (Amavasya) peaks at 5:10 PM EST in Cancer and the intense, penetrating nakshatra of Ashlesha, “The Clinging Star.” This is a New Moon of profound emotional and psychological rebirth. The day begins in the nourishing, protective embrace of Pushya, but the energy deepens and darkens around 2 PM EST as the Moon shifts into Ashlesha, ruled by the Nagas (serpent deities) and symbolized by a coiled snake. This nakshatra is about shedding skins, confronting deep-seated fears, and the hypnotic power of the subconscious. The Moon stands in direct opposition to the Capricorn stellium (Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Pluto), creating a crisis between emotional need (Cancer) and structural reality/relationships (Capricorn). A supportive trine to Saturn and Neptune provides spiritual discipline and compassionate vision to navigate this depth.
Planetary Context: The Cancer-Capricorn opposition is the central axis, highlighting tensions between home and career, feeling and duty, vulnerability and control. Ashlesha’s energy drags the subconscious roots of these tensions to the surface for transformation. The trine to Saturn and Neptune is the guiding light, helping you structure your emotional insights with compassion and spiritual maturity. This New Moon is not for planting pretty seeds; it’s for initiating deep emotional surgery and committing to the healing process.
🔭 Planetary Positions & Their Impact (From the Moon in Cancer)
-
1st House (Self, Subconscious): Moon in Cancer (Ashlesha). 🌙
Your emotional core is penetrating, intuitive, and potentially manipulative or prone to obsessive clinging. Ashlesha grants the wisdom to shed old skins but warns against using emotional depth as a weapon. You are confronting the roots of your emotional patterns. -
7th House (Structure, Other): Sun, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Pluto in Capricorn. ☀️☿♀️♂️♇
The opposition forces a confrontation with partners, societal structures, or your own inner authority figure. What in your external world or in your approach to responsibility is forcing an emotional transformation? Power dynamics in relationships are illuminated. -
9th House (Wisdom, Vision): Saturn and Neptune in Pisces. ♄♆
The harmonious trine is your anchor. It allows you to bring spiritual perspective (Neptune) and disciplined understanding (Saturn) to the intense emotional and relational work at hand. Your higher mind can make sense of the depths.
🧘♂️ Actionable Advice for the Day:
-
Morning (Pushya Moon): Gather Spiritual Nourishment. Use the final hours of Pushya’s supreme support to fortify yourself. Connect with your spiritual practice, seek counsel from a trusted mentor, or meditate. You are preparing for a deep dive.
-
Afternoon (Ashlesha Moon Ingress): Face the Serpent. As the Moon enters Ashlesha, ask: “What deep, hidden fear or attachment am I ready to shed?” Do not shy away from the shadowy or complex feelings that arise. Journal with ruthless honesty.
-
New Moon Ritual (After 5:10 PM EST): Plant a Seed of Deep Release. Your New Moon intention should be for emotional transformation. “I plant the seed to release my fear of vulnerability,” or “I initiate the healing of my ancestral patterns around security.” Be specific about what you are shedding.
-
Navigate the Opposition: In conflicts between heart and duty, don’t choose one over the other. Seek the transformation that integrates caring feeling (Cancer) with responsible structure (Capricorn). How can you be both nurturing and empowered?
Healing Activity: “The Serpent’s Shedding.” During the Ashlesha New Moon, write down the core pattern you are releasing on a strip of paper. Coil it like a snake. Safely burn it, visualizing yourself shedding this skin completely. Then, wash your hands or face in cool water, representing the emotional cleansing of Cancer.
🧿 Corresponding Tarot Card: Death

The Death card shows a skeletal knight in black armor, carrying a flag with a white rose, while figures kneel before him. It is the card of irreversible transformation, endings, and rebirth. This perfectly embodies the Ashlesha New Moon. The knight is the relentless, penetrating energy of Ashlesha cutting away the old. The white rose is the promise of new life (Cancer) that follows. The opposition to Capricorn is the structures and identities that must fall. This card does not signify physical death, but the essential, non-negotiable death of an old emotional state, making way for a more authentic and vulnerable self to be born.
Embrace the ending. The rebirth that follows will be more true and nourishing than what came before. 🙏
