With the influence of Ashlesha nakshatra to the new Moon, you are being nudged to consider the spiritual underpinnings of your inner emotional landscape and your home space. And Rahu's aspect to the new Moon brings the potential for past issues to the surface that could be emotionally buried deep. In what way does your home base reflect your inner emotional state? Do you have a comfortable spot designated for meditation or to use divinitory tools? Is there consistent clutter in a certain part of your living space that is hidden (like in a drawer or basement)? This is prime time for introspection and healing. Consider practices like space clearing or working with family constellations to release outdated emotional patterns.


Taurus (Vrishabha)

This period can support a renewed connection with siblings or close friends—explore how these relationships reflect and support your spiritual growth.
