This New Moon culminates on June 28th at 7:52 PM, making the approximately 24 hours before the window of the New Moon. New moons are when the Moon is at it’s weakest and actually invisible in the sky.  This gives an underlying uneasiness as we can feel the lack of support and comfort without even knowing why.  
The sign and lunar house of the New Moon becomes significant, and this one is in Gemini in the lunar house of Ardra.  Ardra is considered a fierce position for the Moon in the sky- its tear drop symbology often represents giving something up or having to lose something. The deity connected with Ardra is Rudra- a fierce form of Shiva.  While he represents anger and wrath, he also represents deep healing and one who can alleviate the suffering of others.  
There have definitely been some anger and tears shed this week in the US.  Rudra is also known as the howler.  May the howls of protest of this week be the catalyst of the deep transformation that is also present in this lunar house.  Rudra carries both the destructive and the healing energy simultaneously.
From July 2nd-11 all the elemental planets will be in their own signs-Mercury in Gemini, Venus in Taurus, Mars in Aries, Jupiter in Pisces, and Saturn in Aquarius. This could be a very positive week, and a good one to initiate projects.  It is likely the most stable week in July, and the moon is waxing as well, which adds to positive moon strength.  Of course there is much more to picking a good day, but all the planets in good dignity and a waxing moon is a good start!  Picking good starting dates (Muhurta) is an excellent use of astrology, and a service that I offer. Positive starting dates promote success in our endeavors!
 On July 12th Saturn will retrograde back into Capricorn (still its own sign!) where it will be for approximately the next 6 months.  This is the last transit of Saturn in Capricorn before it moves fully into Aquarius, and may be a revisiting of some themes over the last 2 years. More on that next time!

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.
