New Moon in Shravana: Hear Beneath the Noise

On Friday, January 24th at 1:42 pm PST, the Moon and Sun will come together in the solid, yet somber sign of Capricorn in the star of Shravana. Shravana is the star of listening deep beneath the surface, mantras and music and the strong spiritual yearning of one who is willing to tune in amongst the fray. Ruled by Vishnu, this star is depicted as an ear and shows practical results can yield to those who feel devotion in their efforts. Capricorn is where we work, practically and hard in the direction of something to gain something. Here we are very aware of Time and how it will wear us down eventually, in body and mind, how it will run out and we will not have anymore, and how it is constantly pressing down on us to accomplish our tasks which accomplish our goals. With the Moon and Sun is the planet Mercury, who has been here for some time already and is helping us discern what to hear, how to assimilate that and what to communicate about that to others. We also have Saturn, just moved in the day before this Moon cycle begins, to his own house and sign.


Saturn is at home in Capricorn, where his fear is a welcome reminder of all that could go wrong and the pressure he places on us is simply the pressure of life moving towards death and being aware of that as Time. Saturn in Capricorn will also offer us all better boundaries, so that we can get what needs to be done. Saturn stays in a sign about 2 and ½ years and often times (like the cycle he's moving from in Sagittarius and the one he's moving in now) that duration is over the course of 3 years, with some Retrograde action moving him back to the previous sign. This is a long time. Fortunately, this long time will be more productive, rather than primarily fearful and will involve tangible results rather than ideologies and emotions.
