- Darsha Amavasya (Begins 01:35 PM): Today marks the beginning of the dark moon phase, known as Amavasya. It is a powerful time to honor ancestors (Pitru) and clear karmic debts. Spiritually, it represents the “void” where new seeds of intention are planted in the darkness before the new moon cycle begins.
- Shatabhisha Nakshatra: Ruled by Varuna (God of Cosmic Waters and Sky) and the shadow planet Rahu. Its symbol is an Empty Circle or “100 Physicians.” This star governs healing, secrets, and hard-to-diagnose issues. It is excellent for medical treatments, meditation, and solving mysteries.
- The Aquarius Stellium Peaks: The Moon remains in Aquarius, joining Mars, Mercury, and Rahu. This 4-planet conjunction in the sign of networks and future vision creates intense mental activity.
- Shatabhisha Energy: With the Moon in Shatabhisha for the first half of the day, there is a strong focus on healing the physical body and uncovering hidden truths.
- Amavasya Effect: As the Moon’s light fades completely by the afternoon, energy levels may drop physically but rise spiritually. It is a day for introspection, rest, and strategic planning, rather than aggressive outward action.
