december’S new moon…

The New Moon greets us at 6:31PM EST in Scorpio and Jyesthha Nakshatra. Jyeshtha-‘The Eldest’ or talisman-bringing with it themes of courage and conquest. At its best, Jyestha brings a protectiveness of others that is discerning and wise. At its worst, its traits are sharp, over-bearing, and controlling. Central to its energy a striving for power that will be with us until the full moon. This can bring an intensity can both allow for things to unfold or come into creation!

Our relationship with our own power are will resides in the manipura chakra in our solar plexus. Kapalabati or skull-shining breath, candle or fire gazing meditation (Trataka sadhana) which opens the third eye to see our inner wisdom, or finding movement that allows us to sweat to release ama or toxicity may help us bring balance to this fire.
