Vedic Astrology or Indian Astrology or Soli Lunar Astrology is our window to the Universe. It is an easy way to understand the planetary energies. It is the language of the Universe.
New Moon is when Sun and Moon are both at the same point. This happens at the culmination of the last lunar day known as Amavasya. Every month Sun and Moon come together and create a new cycle. They give birth to new energy for the next 28-29 days. This new energy depends on the sign that this New Moon takes place in as well as Nakshatra the Moon is in.
This upcoming New Moon will take place on Jan 11 at 5:30 pm IST or 4:00 am PST. It will take place in the sign of Sagittarius and in Nakshatra of Purva Ashadha.
Sagittarius is the sign which is concerned with spiritual development. The goal of Sagittarius is to reach higher spiritual levels. Raise the consciousness. And Purva Ashadha nakshatra literally means early victory. So the best thing to do during this New Moon (and throughout the next cycle of 28 days) is set intentions for or start something that will uplift you spiritually. This can be your personal routine or some project or even something related to your work. Also, we can remember and honor our ancestors on the New Moon day.
