If you have been questioning your direction, this full moon shines a spotlight on the unique talents and abilities within you. Brainstorming new ideas, sharing stories with others, and creating vision boards for the future are some ways to harness the power of this full moon.
1. Moon in Swati
In Vedic astrology, the full moon will be in and area of the sky called Swati. Known as the “young sprout blowing in the wind,” Swati is connected to prana, the energy that breathes life within us and around us. Vayu, the Vedic god of wind, rules over Swati full moon. Vayu is said to be the animator of life and the invisible force that keeps our hearts beating and our lungs breathing.
Observing your breath can have a profound effect on the mind, body and soul on this full moon. Yogic breathing exercises or simply connecting with the heart chakra through your breath is very beneficial now. (Never attempt to learn advanced pranayama exercises without guidance and instruction of a teacher.)

Vayu is the color of clouds, rides a wild deer, and dwells in the heart chakra.
