day 3: Bherunda: Nitya of Ferocity
Om Bherundayai Namaha
Sun: 8 Aquarius
Moon: 20 Pisces, 42 degrees from Sun, Waxing Crescent Moon
Inner Moon: transition between bleeding and follicular/proliferation
Moon Vibes:
Individuality. Waxing Crescent Moon. Going extreme, leaping out, feeling a strong desire for manifesting those new Moon intentions. Feeling an extreme sense of hunger for the mission and divine guidance. Developing awareness of spiritual and sexual identity. This phase relates with Imbolc/Candlemas. In tantra yoga, this is somachara, descending course of Moon, in-breath (prana-vayu) from crown to the third-eye, relates with last quarter of daylight and the element is air. In the hero’s journey this phase is where we are feeling our desires, sensing into the intentions and meet a mentor in human, plant, animal or other than human form. In the menstrual cycle, this phase is transitional including bleeding and the building up of the uterine nest in the follicular/proliferation phase. Use clean, easy to digest food.
Moon is 3 days old in watery Pisces. This young Moon phase is great for rituals and intentions for growth. With the other planetary relationships currently working, the best growth may be related to mind matters like ideas, belief systems, thought and nervous system patterns.
The first 14.5 days of Moon phases are considered to be Lalitha, translated as “She who plays” spontaneous and free. This is the white flow of life, growth, life building, beauty, represents regenerative fluids in both women and men. Ovulation fluid is the peak and culmination of this phase. The next 14.5 days after full Moon are considered to be Kali, “She who is black” or “She who is death.” This is the red river, flow of death, ending, and dissolution. Menstrual flow is the peak of this phase. Each day (nitya) of the Moon has a different Goddess power, mantra, and intention which are mentioned in the following Moon phase journal for Temple of the Moon.
What are you growing??? growth is easier when your energy is vital and fully alive. Here’s a way to use the growing Moonshine for renewal.
Ritual:
Call in sacred space, reestablish boundaries, give thanks. Ask your guidance system for direction on where you need cleansing, clearing to make space for renewal. Is it your physical surroundings? Your mouth, mind, gut, toenails? Is your dream temple needing renewal energy? Connect with the feeling of rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation. Write down any insights you received. Do 1-3 things towards your renewal. Close sacred space and give thanks.
Here’s an easy daily renewal regimen.
Astrology Today:
Moon in Pisces today, just passing Venus and Neptune, still working on our love, unity, sensuality and relationship vibe. Square to Mars, the conflict between ♀️♂️ has got us actively looking for and trying possible solutions.
Coming to the realization the Pluto/Saturn are within 10° of a 90° with Uranus just popped my reality bubble. Uranus shifts “normal” instantly. Pluto/Saturn is about breaking down belief and structure. Where is this aspect on your chart?? Look at last degrees of Capricorn and first degrees of Taurus.
