FULL MOON in AQUARIUS ~ DHANISTHA Nakshatra 8.19.24 11:18 AM EDT

*Mercury is Retrograde till August 28

Dhanistha nakshtra lies within the constellation of Delphinius, the dolphin. It spans the area near sidereal Capricorn and Aquarius. Shaped like a drum or diamond, with the  drum and flute as it’s symbols. Both are hollow vessels and connect to dancing, music, rhythm, movement, athleticism, action, and listening to the beat and inner rhythm of the heart. Dhanistha is  connected to the drum of Shiva, especially since this full moon falls at the end of the month of Shravan, sacred to Shiva. During this time, it’s said that the cosmic ocean was churned and Lord Shiva drank the poison that came up in order to protect all of the universe.  As a result of consuming the poison, his throat turned blue.
