FULL MOON APRIL 2020
FULL MOON IN CHITRA NAKSHATRA APRIL 7TH @ 10:36pm EST
Chitra is known as “the star of opportunity”. It is located in the constellation of Spica within the sign of Virgo. It’s symbol is a bright jewel representing the Divine spirit within us. The celestial architect of the universe, Vishvakarma, is the deity associated with this Nakshatra and he is the master of Maya and magic. He represents prosperity, regeneration and longevity. This is one of the most mystical of the nakshatras giving sudden flashes of inspiration and a yearing for self knowledge.
Mars is the ruling planet and Mercury rules Virgo so there is a desire to explore the depths of the soul along with an influence of spiritual intelligence. The power of this Nakshatra is to accumulate merit in this life, Punya Cayani Shakti. There is a soft nature to this Nakshatra, it’s energy is described as Mridu. That does not mean that there isn’t a shadow, because where there is light there will always be darkness. Because of the Mars influence we may see actions taken too early and then regret it, it can also influence some really dark actions.
A full Moon gives us a glimpse of the energy for the coming cycle and we will likely see this energy played out in the month to come. The part that is really speaking to me through this upcoming Full Moon is the darker aspect. If we are tuning into the forces and frequencies at this time we see the Maya, the Illusion, right before our eyes. There are some talented magicians at work right now, and I don’t mean that in a positive way. I am referring to those that embody and are possessed by parasitic forces and some are even unaware that they are possessed at this time. We can expect more of this in the coming cycle and also witness the peak of this darkness. It’s hard to say whether we will experience the Shiny Gem and start to experience feeling that Divine Spirit within all of us.
I have written in the last few blogs about Rhau changing nakshatras on April 22, 2020. He will continue his transit in Gemini until September 19 when he moves into Taurus (the Nodes of the Moon always move backwards) but will be stationed in Mrigrashira Nakshatra from April 22 onwards. Mrigrashira is called the searching star and it’s deity is Soma, the Moon god, who imparts the divine nectar of enlightenment. I feel hopeful still that this transition from Ardra to Mrigrashira will be a positive one and will inspire people to wake up and also start to see the numbers go down. Not that I feel there will be a remedy but I sense there will be an overall feeling that we are healing. That being said I don’t think this will fully dissipate until we see a sign change for the Nodes, Rahu and Ketu, come September 2020.
The transit that I would most like to talk about in this blog is Venus. Venus entered it’s own sign of Taurus (Krittika Nakshatra) on March 28, 2020 and will stay there until August 1, 2020. In my workshop on New Years Eve 2019 I covered this transit and it’s retrogradation from May 13, 2020 to June 25, 2020 and how that would affect each of the 12 signs. Depending on where Venus sits in your chart that’s where you will feel it. Venus typically goes through a sign in less than a month but with retrogradation can be in a sign for up to four months. It retrogrades for 41-41 days every 18 months, so not that often. Venus represents our relationships, beauty, creativity and the arts. When planets retrograde they are sending us a message to pay extra attention to the area of life which this retrogradation is taking place.
For example, I have Venus in Taurus(Krittika Nakshatra) in my 5th house of children, romance and investments. I have a very strong and favorable Venus, sitting now where it sat at the time of my birth, so significant for me. I remember thinking in 2019 when I was looking at the transits for the year ahead “ wonder what kind of extra focus will be on the kids at that time?’ Fast forward to April 2020 and now I see it all unfolding. I am homeschooling two children and completely consumed with them around the clock, no time for much else. We are doing mostly creative things because that is my strong suit and spending lots of time in nature so experiencing a tremendous amount of beauty these days. We are living in a Venus portal and I am fully living into my 5th house. What house will you be living into during this powerful transit?
Now, lets talk about the location of Venus on a more microscopic level, not just the sign it which it is currently located, but the constellation. Venus is situated in Krittika Nakshatra a the time of this full moon. The six brightest stars of the Pleiades form the Nakshatra of Krittika. These six stars are seen in Hindu Mythology as the wives of the Great Seers. This cluster was/is significant to many cultures throughout time, including Hawaiians. I will speak on this one as this is the one that I have experienced firsthand. It is said in many metaphysical books, sacred texts and channeled books that the ancient civilization of Lemuria descended from the Pleiades and that ancient Lemuria (Mu) was part of the group of islands we know today as Hawaii, or more specifically Kauai. It is also said that the stories are encoded in the crystals on the island and in the Lemurian Quartz crystals.
The Pleiades are said to align with the 7 Chakras and also the 7 Temples along the Wailua River on Kauai. Two years ago my husband Ravi and I renewed our wedding vowels at the mouth of this river, a Lemurian Temple of Light, a portal directly aligned with Creation Source, where all of us beings are said to enter this earth plane through. We stood at the feet of a Master Lemurian Healer Stone and recited our vowels. As the sun set and the full moon became visible in the constellation of the Pleiades (a specific time which I chose for specific reasons, a process called Muhurta in Vedic Asteology) we were able to see the Pleiades with our naked eye. What a sight to behold!!! And even more, to ponder that we had returned to the place we entered this plane through to begin again, but this time together, as a family of four. We took a baptismal dip in the ocean while gazing at the beauty above us with nothing but the feeling of interconnectedness infused into every fiber of our being.
Something else that was extremely powerful about that time on Kauai was that I was awakened every morning at 4am by Venus. She was rising as the morning star at that time and her presence coming into the window as I slept along the ocean was comparable to a UFO. I was completely captivated by this and spoke to Ravi every morning about how I sensed so much life coming from there. Words were whispered in my ear every morning as she lured me out of my bed to sit on the bluff under her gaze. There was so much being activated that I just continued to write it all down and planned to figure it all out later.
This continued for the whole stay on the island and then after in Joshua Tree at the Integratron which is a round structure built on top of 9 Ley Lines by George Van Tassell that he claimed to be capable of rejuvenation, anti-gravity and time travel. Unbeknownst to me, George claimed to have received instruction on how to make the structure/machine by visitors from the planet Venus that he made contact with out by Giant Rock in JT that was revered as a place of Sacred Ceremony and Prophecy by Native Americans. I have the full story on my Instagram on December 7th, 2018 if you’d like more details.
Back to Kauai…this is the first time I am speaking of this. The day before we left Kauai we all almost died. We were stuck at sea in a storm on a boat for 5hrs, my husband was so sick that he was unable to even speak, let alone help me with the kids. What started out as a trip to the Napali Coast, which had stunning beauty, quickly turned out to be the scariest day of my life. We were 2hrs past the arrival back at the dock, the sun was gone replaced by darkness, lightening and heavy rains, and water was spilling into the boat from the waves throwing us around and my husband was somewhere lying on a bench wanting to die. I was sitting holding my children while 50 other people sat holding one another terrified. All I could think of is “I am going to be with the kids by myself as we all die and Ravi will be alone.” That day we downloaded the Codes that Venus was preparing me for, each one of us received a cellular healing associated with the collective Karma that we share and a return to a place that was recorded in our DNA and a very traumatic memory in our civilization, but a very personal one for our family! I won’t go into too much more detail as when we speak of these things they don’t translate well, are for our remembrance and soul growth only and can sometimes loose their potency, so I will stop here.
My purpose in sharing this was to convey the energy of Venus and the Pleiades and how when we allow the stars to speak to us they will happily offer us insight into who we are, why we are here and where we come from. I have spent years fully immersed in sacred astrology texts and studying but I have also been sitting under the constellations and planets receiving their teachings just as the Ancient Rishi’s did and I will say that they have so much to teach us, way more than any book could convey. Considering the prominence of Venus in my chart and the location being in the Pleiades at my time of birth, of course these particular alignments would speak loudly to me. This is the beauty of knowing what you are made up of from a cosmic standpoint, a blueprint of your soul of sorts.
Understanding your own chart, especially during these times, is an incredible tool that can help you make sense of the things presenting themselves in your life at this time. When we understand the blueprint of our lives, the map we chose by being born at a particular time in a particular place, it provides the self-knowledge that we need to navigate the journey of our Soul and turbulent times. We are not separate from the earth or the Cosmos and we can look to both for answers to the questions that we have. I am happy to assist you in your journey towards self-knowledge as I believe with every fiber of my being that Self-Knowledge if the key to life and also the balm for all of our fears. I am accepting 3 readings a week due to my schedule with my children. These are done via zoom and you receive a full recording after. This pandemic has tapped into humanity’s core fear of death and this is an opportunity to sit with the truth that you will die someday, if you haven’t already. Self-Knowledge shows us the eternalness of the Soul and that alone is the remedy for the fear.
As we move through this incredible portal on Planet Earth may we not lose sight of the beauty and connectivity of it all. This full moon will take us deep and hopefully inspire us to tap into beauty and creativity in whatever way that manifests for each of us individually. I wish for you Fortitude as you endure the duress. There is one remedial measure during these times and that is prayer and mantra and lots of it! Ritual is important but prayer needs to be at the forefront of the practice these days. Here are my top two for these times.
Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra:
Om Tryambakam Yajamahe Sugandhim Pushti-Vardhanam
Urvarukamiva Bandhanan Mrityormukshiya Mamritat
Translation:
We concentrate on our third eye which lies behind the two eyes and this gives us the power to feel you and by this we feel happy, satisfied and peace in life. We know immortality is not possible but some extension can be given to our death by your powers Lord Shiva
Ave Maria/Hail Mary:
Hail, Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
This was what the Angel Gabriel said to Mary when he appeared to her.
