Searching for something new? Still hunting for your heart’s desire? The new moon of June 13, 2018 (12:43 pm PT) stirs up the nature spirits, wandering hearts of the wild, and all those who seek true and lasting fulfillment in life.
In Vedic Astrology the new moon is in the area of the sky called Mrigashira nakshatra, the “searching star,” where Lord Brahma, the god of creation, changes himself into a running deer. This is also where creation is decapitated by the great liberator, Lord Shiva. Mrigashira is symbolized by a deer’s head (Mriga=deer, Shirsa=head). Creative drive and energy to chase after dreams and desires runs wild here. Take a moment to consider what you are longing, searching, and hunting for in life.
