Reflections on the Ashlesha Moon

The Moon's currently moving through the final degrees of Ashlesha. It’s a sharp, piercing energy that always makes me feel like the universe is pulling back a curtain on hidden motivations.

Ashlesha is ruled by the serpents, and it demands we face our cold, detached sides. You don't get through this transit without feeling a bit exposed. I’ve spent the morning looking at how this sits against the Sun in Krittika—it’s a clash of sharp intuition against a burning need for structural change.

We’re approaching a time of great internal movement. I always check my Vyom app to see how these lunar shifts trigger my own natal placements. It’s usually a wake-up call for those old habits we keep trying to bury.

Don’t try to force clarity today. Just observe. The shadow work you do now, while the Moon finishes its cycle, saves you a lot of heavy lifting later. Take a breath, acknowledge where your ego feels threatened, and just let it be.

We’re all just carrying baggage from a few lifetimes ago, aren't we? Best to unpack it slowly rather than throwing it all on the floor at once.
