On January 18, the New Moon rises at 7:52 p.m. in the nakshatra of Uttara Ashadha, known as the “invincible” star.
Its symbol is the elephant’s trunk—a powerful image of strength that prevails over adversity. Uttara Ashadha is ruled by Ganesha, the Remover of Obstacles, along with the ten divine sons of the god Dharma.
The Visvedevas personify goodness, truth, willpower, devotion, perseverance, desire, tolerance, the ancestors, abundance, and joy.
Think of the New Moon in Uttara Ashadha as a doorway into what’s next, widening our vision and giving shape to our ideas and plans for 2026.
On the same day in India, Mauni Amavasya will be observed. This sacred day is a time for turning inward, honoring the power of silence and engaging in practices meant to ease pitru dosha, the karmic burden carried through the ancestral line.
Globally, the energy will be intense and volatile. Fresh off the planetary war between Shukra and Mangala, another graha yuddha unfolds—this time between Mercury (Budha) and Mars (Mangala).
Now imagine the archetype of communication and diplomacy (Budha) colliding with the god of war, Mars. Words become weapons, and impulse overtakes dialogue.
Take heed this weekend: pause before you argue, and choose assertiveness over aggression. This is not the right time for long journeys or major investments. Communications, transportation, science, and technology may be prone to delays or unexpected shifts. Move slowly, stay present, and let awareness guide your steps.
On January 23, the Chandra–Shani yoga will form. Emotions will rise like quiet messengers, pointing to the parts of our lives that need more grounding and stability. The New Moon of Mauni Amavasya reminds us to slow down and listen, allowing the heart to lead us toward deeper guidance.
In silence, the soul finds its voice.
