Solstice, the New Moon, and the New Year: A Sacred Threshold
As we step through the gateway of time, this powerful convergence of the Winter Solstice, the New Moon in sidereal Sagittarius, and the New Year invites us to pause, reflect, and realign.
The Winter Solstice (Dec 21) marks the longest night of the year, calling us inward to honor the gifts of stillness and introspection. Just days after Solstice, the New Moon in Pūrva Aṣāḍha nakshatra (Dec 30) guides us to purify our paths and step boldly into 2025 with renewed courage and clarity.
Keep looking up!

Date & Time: December 30, 2024 (2:26pm PM PT)
Degree: 15°31' Sidereal Sagittarius
Nakshatra: Pūrva Aṣāḍha (second pada)

This nakshatra, ruled by Apas (the deity of cosmic waters), embodies themes of purification, determination, and invincible victory. Just like surfing ocean waves, it teaches us to flow with resilience, cleanse what no longer serves, and emerge stronger and triumphant.
In sidereal Sagittarius, the New Moon’s energy emanating from the first pada (Leo) of Pūrva Aṣāḍha is infused with fiery and transformational energies, encouraging bold action to align with your soul’s purpose.
Pure New Moon and Nakshatra Energy:
With no major planetary aspects to the New Moon, the power of Pūrva Aṣāḍha nakshatra is amplified, guiding us to connect with our inner resolve and plant seeds of victory. Additionally, the absence of planets in other Venus-ruled nakshatras further highlights the purity and intensity of this New Moon energy.
