OCTOBER NEW MOON

The New Moon is expressing itself now- Wednesday, October 2nd, at 2:49 PM EDT- landing in sidereal Virgo under the Hasta Nakshatra. This New Moon marks the end of Pitru-Paksha, the two-week period that began on September 17th, which is all about connecting with our ancestors. It’s a special time when the boundary between our world and the spirit world feels thin, making it a perfect moment to honor those who came before us. Whether it's offering gratitude, finding healing from old family wounds, or simply feeling a deeper connection to your roots, this New Moon opens a powerful doorway for reflection and peace.

Amplifying this energy is a Solar Eclipse- while not visible from our part of the world Sun- we may still sense its energy. These can bring transformations- quickly- which may stir up a bit of chaos. This is good day to avoid big decisions or major changes—think of it as a time to turn inward (with the support of the new moon) rather than act outward;y.

Take this as a chance to slow down, reflect, and reset your perspective—sometimes, these cosmic shifts help us see things in a whole new light.
