Full Moon in Ashwini Nakshatra at 12:47pm EST on October 24, 2018.🌕 Ketu, the South Node of the Moon, rules Ashwini and Ketu represents beginnings and doubt which symbolizes the doubts we have at the beginning of things.  Ketu is the eclipse of the Sun, or our spiritual nature and all manifestation proceeds through Ketu.  Ashwini is the first Nakshatra located in the beginning of Aries.  The deity of the nakshatra is the twin horseman and it’s symbol is the Sun.🌞 The Ashwins are twin God’s whose name literally means “the horseman”.  These twins ( know as Castor and Pollux, in the sky) represent the secret unity hidden in duality, they stand for balance, equilibrium and restoration.  They rescue us from calamity by their magical vehicles of chanting, mantra or prayer.🙏🏼 They are the great miracle workers of the God’s who heal the sick. They give us bliss and happiness and gifts from distant realms.  So you see this is a very potent and healing full moon that will also remove obstacles.💎 The Moon is situated in the 5th house which is very beneficial, enhancing the Moon with intelligence.  It is also receiving aspects from Mars( from the 2nd house…sharp clear speech) , Venus, Sun and Mercury( from the 11th house…two steps forward, one step back with Venus and vitality and communication feeling scattered and wanting to move with Sun & Mercury).  The 2nd house is the house of Wealth and speech and governs the mouth.  The 11th house is the house of gains, profits and friends.  The 5th house is the house of children, creativity and creative intelligence and also shows our Ishta Devata, the form of God that we choose to worship in life.  It is a house of grace, good karma, pleasure and enjoyment. The throat center is illuminated during this moon adding creativity and devotion to the already healing energy.  Many blessings can be received from this special moon so if you can…. gather to honor her, moon bathe, create moon waters and chant, chant, chant!🌀💧🌀 The mantra for the Moon in Aries is Om Gam Ganapataye Namah!🙏🏼
