Happy Solstice!

Spread the love

There’s so much happening in the next few days! 

Tonight’s winter solstice marks the shortest day and longest night of the year. After the solstice we being to move towards the bright half of the year in the Vedic Calendar known as Uttarayana.  In this 6 month cycle the Sun gains prominence and the days get longer.  It is considered the more auspicious half of the year, connected to harvests, prosperity and growth.

December 22/23rd is the New Moon in Sagittarius in the lunar house of Mula.  Mula is a section of  the zodiac connected with death and rebirth, of cutting out from the roots to allow new growth.  It is destructive yet holds the intention of regeneration and evolution.

These two events in such proximity of each other bring about a poignant death cycle that asks us to shed that which we want to leave behind before entering 2023.   This is the real time for resolutions, to bring consciousness around how we want to move forward into the New Year.

This New Moon quite significantly comes just a day before many gather with friends and family.  New Moons are always connected with our ancestors and indicated to give them some offerings or reverence.  It would be of great benefit  to do a small remembrance before holiday gatherings with family.

Love and Blessings,
Mrinmoyee

Mrinmoyee is in a long term love affair with Mother India, the land of her spiritual birth. She has lived primarily in India for the last 2 decades, and while she appreciates most all aspects of the culture, Vedic Astrology, Meditation, and Devotional pactices have been her primary focus.

Having grown up on the East coast of the United States, she deeply sees the need for the Vedic sciences in the modern Western life. She lived for 10 years in an Indian Buddhist spiritual community in North India where meditation and seva (service) were the foundations of her practice. Here she experienced the traditional teachings passed down through a lineage that is customary in India. As her interest in Vedic Astrology grew it took her to different regions and teachers of India and the US. She has studied Vedic Astrology for the last 10 years, and has given hundreds of readings to people all over the world in the last 5 years.

She offers introductory workshops on Vedic Astrology, and retreats in India. But the main focus of her work is personalized birth chart consultations. She has studied with both traditional and modern teachers, and gives a traditional analysis of the chart combined with a modern, applicable interpretation. While Vedic Astrology is Hindu in its origins, a person need not be following that path to benefit from her readings. Advice on career, relationships, finances, ideal living locations, and spirituality are just some of the areas of life that can be covered in a session.
