Greetings to everyone for a sparkling Diwali…. And a Prosperous New Year

It’s about the Diwali New moon of Libra in Vishakha nakshatra, at 26°…

This new moon, the Sun, and the Moon are meeting in Libra, which is known for equality…justice …and close relations.

It can bring balance and harmony where Libra is placed in our chart.

Great minds are coming together here. Sun, Moon, Mars, and Jupiter’s aspect…along with Uranus…

The discussion will be mostly about relations, business…. everything about the world… togetherness and bringing happiness …Also, being fair with yourself and others.

This Libra, new moon can bring increased understanding about our relations…

We can have some sweet, pleasant, and heart-to-heart talk…on any complex issues of life.

If you have no idea where to start…. then this new moon can provide you with brilliant ideas, new and different options to explore…. discuss…

Start fresh from here…

This day will open the doors for everyone to work on all kinds of personal and professional relations.

Expect sudden corrections… changing our equation with others, and permanently transforming things…. where Aries-Libra is placed in our chart….

We have this new moon at the same 26° of the Solar eclipse of October…

Rahu is still at 29° of Pisces in gandant.

Uranus is at also 26° in Aries, aspecting this Newmoon, Sun, and…Mars — who is at 28° in the same Vishakha nakshatra.

There can be a new beginning in our close relations… after a conflict or realizing some hard facts of relations…

Here, Saturn is in Dhanishta… Mars’s nak can be supportive as Saturn is trine to this new moon in Libra.

Then, the nakshatra lord of Vishakha, Jupiter — also has an aspect from Aries. And Jupiter is retro in Bharani.

The lord of Bharani and Libra, Venus is debilitated in Virgo and is heading towards Ketu…

Lastly, Mercury is placed in the transformative sign of Scorpio….

All these signify some dramatic, sudden changes and diversions in the current situation.

Of course, not on the same day but things can start from here or within the span of the next 15 days, till full moon.

With every new moon, we have been given an opportunity to set some new goals to work on….

And with each new connection among these planets, we are taking a step forward to the manifestation of our goals…

And, this new moon is special being — Diwali day. It’s a day of celebration, creating light, where there is darkness.

The new moon in Libra and Venus its lord can bring, balance and harmony in matters related to relations, love, comfort, and finances….

Venus and Libra both signify brilliant diplomacy…with proper negotiation, while dealing with any complex matters…

Expect major discussions, interesting communication and the goal is to come to a fair conclusion.

We have debilitated Sun in Libra…so in a way, it is the best time to shade our ego…and self-centered approach, for others, to maintain relations…

Another important point is Saturn… having an aspect on Aries and on Uranus and Jupiter — lord of Vishakha…

Both Saturn and Jupiter can bring radical changes…growth and some long-term development can be expected related to the Aries — Libra axis…

This combined aspect, along with Moon in Vishakha can certainly bring some diversion which is the theme of Vishakha Nakshatra…

Vishakha is a forked branch giving diversion or a new direction. …With more options, new opportunities, & a different path… which can change the current situation.…

Vishakha is a star of purpose and represents immense energy, power, passion, and teamwork.

& This new moon can be the starting point of all the modifications that we are expecting …

Being Jupiter’s star there will be always wisdom and understanding to handle any difficult circumstances….

The next 15 days are very active with all the aspects and connections that the moon makes…., especially towards the full moon of 27th November….

The impact of this New Moon can be strong and can stay with us in upcoming times.

Moon is conjunct with Mars in Vishakha and is opposite Jupiter and Uranus. Then we have Moon conj Mercury in Scorpio — Anuradha nakshatra where Saturn has its 10th aspect….

Surely, it won’t be pleasant on a mental level — expect fear with no clear thinking

But it’s the best time to structure our plans and make necessary changes at the root level…Moon is also heading towards gandanta from here….

On the 16th moon will enter Mula nakshatra and will have Jupiter’s 9th aspect …

This can restore some optimism and hope in us for our future…

Then on 18th — Moon will conjunct mighty Pluto in Capricorn @ 4°….

We will continue to have that transformative energy as on the same day we have Sun — Mars degree conjunction in Scorpio — Vishakha nak.

From here, the Sun will make a move ahead of Mars after a couple of months… This indicates, that now the authorities… elders, and bosses will take a lead…

Now, no more giving orders to others or instructing… but actively participating in everything….

We have Saturn Moon conjunction on 20th Nov in Aquarius @ 6° and Mars has an aspect on it. This can give a suffocating feeling with no or little action…

Then, the Moon in Pisces will conjunct Neptune and Rahu, which can further create dualities and confusion…On a positive note, this moon has an aspect of Venus….

And, expect a new beginning as the moon crosses gandanta, enters Aries, and will conjuncts Jupiter….

Certainly, this will give new developments and movements in everything that we were working on….

From here we are heading toward a full moon and some interesting connections

On 27th Nov we have a Full moon in Taurus — Rohini Nak @ 10.45°

~ We have Venus tightly conjunct Ketu @28° ~ Jupiter back in Ashwini Nak & in exalted Cancer Navamsa ~ Mercury crosses Scorpio gandanta & enters Sagittarius

All these are happening one after another on 27th November…

Expect some ending, completion and concluding impact of something significant which can change the future path or your direction ….

Expect results of Vishakha nakshatra more towards this Taurus full moon.
