This Full Moon brings the energy of the starspace, Jyestha – translated as the elder one. To understand we are dealing with let’s ponder over the triple moon Goddess – maiden, mother & crone. Jyestha would be similar to the crone while Rohini, the nakshatra opposite Jyestha would be the maiden. Both Jyestha & Rohini were wives of Chandra (overlord of Moon) yet had an inimical relationship as Chandra favored Rohini for her delicate beauty & youth. Jyestha is located in Scorpio where we are continually transforming our inner vulnerabilities & insecurities in a rather stuck environment – this requires immense courage. Jyestha’s journey is to experience all the feelings of neglect, insecurity, jealousy & immense fear – & find courage to transmute it. Not easy when you are already perceived as Crone! Reflect upon how the society is obsessed with youth & anti-aging products; the experience & wisdom of the Crone is neglected. It’s the Crone’s journey to internally process societal projections & still shine in her beauty
.
Moon, a rather gentle planet which also represents our mind – experiences all that Jyestha brings. The tendency of our mind is to get stuck on the lower qualities of Jyestha & play it as a tape-recorder. Each one of us have been a part of the Jyestha-Rohini type relationship one way or another (in one area of life or other) – either we are playing the role of the crone or the maiden. Since Sun fully illuminates moon tonight, it is an opportunity to recognize, detangle & disengage from these patterns. It is an opportunity to courageously transform our inner insecurities, perceived jealousy or conspiracy, & fear. How do you know what patterns do you need to let go off during this cycle? Well, follow your irritation. Whenever you feel deeply irritated or frustrated by something – there’s a pattern that needs changing (Full Moon aspected by Saturn & Mars)
.
I also know that many of you are so stuck in our stories that you would rather replay your stories & feel like a victim of your circumstances than transcend them (both Jyestha & Rohini have the tendency to act like a victim). Those who find the inner strength to drop your age-old stuck patterns on this Full Moon, I commend you
