New moon in sidereal Gemini ~ Punarvasu Nakshatra July 5, 2024 6:57 PM EDT

New Moon Blessings! It’s summer here in the northern hemisphere. Looking at the sky, the moon is in Punarvasu, associated with the stars Castor and Pollux. The Sun and Moon are with Venus in gemini and Saturn has just gone retrograde.

What is being birthed and created in your life?  Are there any repeating themes, patterns or events happening? What’s growing in your garden?   How are you connecting with the Earth during this time of year?

Aditi, the universal earth mother is connected with the energies of Punarvasu. She is fertile and protective of all of her many children. She helps us connect to life on Earth through foundational things like housing, food, nourishment, protection and knowledge. She also protects travelers. She is similar to Pachamama in being the cosmic mother of all creation.

Connecting to moon cycles and the new moon is a beautiful way to go within and meditate on the energy. What is happening for you? What do you sense when you tune in?

Some questions to ponder based on positions of the planets from the moon’s perspective ~

Do you feel confused or ambivalent about anything? Is anything in a state of change, observation, withdrawl or release?

What is happening with your work and outer life in the world?

What dreams or teachings may be coming up from within you or around you?   

May we honor and connect with the beautiful Earth,

We came from her cosmic body,

She gives us all things,

In return,

Let us nurture and protect her and all beings.
